Montgomery Municipal Jail Overview
The official City of Montgomery Municipal Jail page places this facility under the City of Montgomery Police Department. It is not the Mac Sim Butler Montgomery County Detention Facility, and it is not an ADOC prison. The city source lists Assistant Municipal Jail Division Commander Captain Ralph Tucker and gives a city jail phone line for custody questions.
The facility serves city-level custody needs, including city prisoners, city convicts serving time, female inmates, and federal inmates listed on the city visitation schedule. The research does not identify a public city web roster like the sheriff's CountyGovServices portal. That means a Montgomery Municipal Jail custody check begins with the city jail contact, then branches to the sheriff roster if the person has been transferred to county custody.
City cases can also move into court records. Misdemeanors inside Montgomery city limits are handled through Montgomery Municipal Court unless a felony is involved or a sheriff's office report changes the route. That distinction keeps city jail custody, county jail custody, and Montgomery County court charges from being blended into one record source.
Montgomery Municipal Jail Population
The official city page did not publish a rated capacity, daily population, average daily population, housing-unit count, or population trend for Montgomery Municipal Jail. Do not use the Mac Sim Butler county jail design capacity for this city facility. Do not use ADOC counts either. Those are different custody systems with different records.
For countywide adult jail population context, Mac Sim Butler is the main source. For sentenced Alabama prison custody, ADOC publishes statewide and facility counts. Montgomery Municipal Jail should be described through its city operator, contact rules, mail rules, and visitation schedule rather than through borrowed population figures.
Montgomery Municipal Jail Lookup
No free official online roster for Montgomery Municipal Jail was located in the research. The city custody lookup path is therefore a fallback chain. Call the municipal jail for city custody, use the MCSO roster if the person is moved to Mac Sim Butler, and use court sources for formal case status. A city arrest may not stay in the same place through booking, bond, court, and sentence.
- Call Montgomery Municipal Jail at the listed city phone line to ask about current city custody.
- If the person is not in city custody, search the Montgomery County current-inmates portal for a transfer to Mac Sim Butler.
- For city-limit misdemeanor case records, check the municipal court path named by the Montgomery court materials.
- For felony or county charges, use Montgomery County court records and the state trial-court system.
| Question | Best First Source | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person in city jail? | Montgomery Municipal Jail phone line | No city web roster was found |
| Was the person moved to county jail? | MCSO Current Inmates | Mac Sim Butler has the county public roster |
| What happened in court? | Municipal Court or Alacourt | Jail custody and court charges are separate records |
| Was the person sentenced to prison? | ADOC inmate search | State prisoners are not tracked by the city jail |
For the county roster fields and profile details after transfer, use the Montgomery County jail inmate records page rather than treating the city jail as the county custody index.
Montgomery Municipal Jail Contact
The city jail page gives the physical address and phone number for Montgomery Municipal Jail. It also names the Assistant Municipal Jail Division Commander. The research did not locate booking desk hours, lobby service hours, parking instructions, ADA entry instructions, or a published city roster vendor.

Montgomery Municipal Jail Visitation
Montgomery Municipal Jail publishes a population-based visitation schedule. The city does not use the county jail's video visitation schedule for these categories in the research provided. Visitors must present valid photo identification. Cell phones and packages are not allowed in the jail. Attorney visitation has separate morning and afternoon windows.
| Population | Schedule | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Federal inmates and city prisoners with court dates | Saturday 8:00-10:30 a.m.; noon-4:00 p.m. | City jail visiting |
| City convicts serving time | Sunday 8:00-10:30 a.m.; noon-3:00 p.m. | City jail visiting |
| Female inmates | Sunday 3:00-5:00 p.m. | City jail visiting |
| Attorney visits | 0800-1100 and 1430-1600 hours | Professional visit |
The city page does not give a visitor-approval portal, remote video vendor, or fee schedule. Because the city bans cell phones and packages for visitors, arrive with only what the jail allows and confirm current rules before travel. Do not carry the county jail's ICSolutions video rules into the city jail unless the city later publishes that link.
Montgomery Municipal Jail Mail
The municipal jail gives a city mailing address and a limited money rule. Inmate mail goes to P.O. Box-Drawer 159, Montgomery, Alabama 36101. Packages are not accepted through mail. U.S. Postal Service money orders are accepted through mail in the inmate's name. The research did not locate an online commissary vendor, kiosk, deposit fee table, phone deposit option, or tablet account rule for the municipal jail.
| Service | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | P.O. Box-Drawer 159, Montgomery, Ala. 36101 |
| Packages | Not accepted in inmate mail |
| Money orders | USPS money orders accepted through mail in the inmate's name |
| Online deposits | No city source located for vendor or fees |
Montgomery Municipal Jail Booking
The city jail source does not publish a step-by-step booking manual or public profile field list. A city arrest may remain in city custody for municipal matters, may be connected to a court date, or may be routed into county or state systems depending on charge type. If a felony is involved, the Montgomery court research says felony cases begin in District Criminal and can move toward grand jury review.
- City prisoner
- A person held by the city jail under city custody or court processes.
- City convict
- A person serving city time under the city's schedule category.
- Transfer
- A custody move to county jail, state prison, federal custody, or another agency.
- Municipal court
- The city court path for many city-limit misdemeanor matters.
Public record access still depends on the record type. Custody status is a jail question. Formal charges and case outcomes are court questions. State prison placement is an ADOC question. For booking photos after a transfer to Mac Sim Butler, use the county jail profile path, not the municipal jail page.
About Montgomery Municipal Jail
Montgomery County is dense with custody agencies because the city, county, state, federal government, and juvenile systems all operate nearby. Montgomery Municipal Jail fills the city role in that map. Its official page contributes specific visitation categories, mail rules, the city address, the city phone number, and the money-order rule, but it does not publish an online city inmate roster or capacity figure.
That gap should shape the user path. Begin with the city jail for current city custody, search Mac Sim Butler if county transfer is possible, and use court records when the need is case status rather than jail status. If a person is sentenced to ADOC, use the statewide ADOC locator.
Note: Confirm city custody, visitor rules, and money-order handling with Montgomery Municipal Jail before mailing funds or visiting.
