The Montgomery Correctional Center is a low/medium-security detention center located at 4727 Lannie Rd Jacksonville, FL which is operated locally by the Duval County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Duval County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Jacksonville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
