Call Montgomery Processing Center (ICE) - GEO directly at 936-521-4900 to confirm what applies right now.
Most detention facilities require visitors to be approved in advance. The inmate at Montgomery Processing Center (ICE) - GEO typically submits a list of proposed visitors, and each adult on that list completes a visitor application form for a background check.

Call 936-521-4900 for the visitor application process and expected approval timeline.

Virtual Attorney Visits, Legal Calls, and Document Exchange
All requests for legal video visits, legal calls, and document exchange (such as obtaining signatures) go to MPC-Legal@geogroup.com. The facility can accommodate a reasonable amount and size of documents. The VAV Flyer for the Montgomery Processing Center has more details.
Per ICE detention standards, facility staff can open incoming legal mail in the detainee's presence to inspect for contraband, but they will not store, read, translate, or explain the documents. They will only hand them to the detainee. The legal representative should include instructions for how the documents should be handled: whether the original goes to the detainee, whether it should be scanned and emailed back, and whether it should be shredded after scanning or returned to the detainee.
This email is for scheduling and coordination only. It is not for communication with the Immigration Court or ICE Detention Officers. The facility will help with obtaining signatures for necessary court paperwork, but by using the VAV process, users agree not to hold the facility liable for documentation issues.
Requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance and no more than 2 weeks in advance, during business hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. Requests made outside business hours are addressed the next business day. Video visits run in 30 to 60-minute blocks. There is no cap on how many VAV appointments an attorney can request, but no attorney can have more than one 60-minute appointment with the same detainee in a single day. Scheduled times are firm. Any visit that has not started within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time will be canceled.
The request must include a copy of the attorney's driver's license, bar card, and G-28 or E-28 form. The facility confirms scheduled appointments by email.
Only attorneys, law firm staff assisting on the case, interpreters, mental health evaluators, and the detainee can participate. No family members.
Recording any virtual or in-person visit, by audio or video, is prohibited. Violations can result in suspension or permanent loss of VAV privileges.
