Maryland County Jails Inmate Search
Maryland has sixteen county jails managed by county sheriffs. To locate an inmate in a Maryland county jail, you can visit the website of the county sheriff's office where the jail is located. Most sheriff's offices have an online inmate locator tool that you can use to search for an inmate by entering their last name and first name or their booking number. The tool will display the inmate's current location, charges, bail amount, and court dates.
Alternatively, you can call the county sheriff's office directly to obtain information about an inmate's location and status.
In addition, users can use VINELink to search for inmates in Maryland. VINELink is a victim notification system that provides information on the custody status of an inmate and other correctional services. It allows victims to register within their state or county so they can receive automatic notifications when an offender has been transferred, released or escaped from custody. With VINELink, users can access information about an inmate's location, projected release date and court appearance dates.
Inmate records can also provide additional information about inmates in Maryland Corrections Facilities or County Jails. These records typically include details such as name and aliases, age, gender, physical description, booking photos and criminal charges. Inmate records are available and can be accessed through the MD Department of Public Safety website or by visiting the respective facility.
