1. What kind of information can I obtain on an inmate housed in your facility?: We can release the name, charge, and bond of any inmate. All other information is restricted.

2. What kind of inmates do you house?: As a pretrial facility, we house a wide range of inmates. Criminal charges may range from DWI to first-degree murder. While we do house high-security inmates, we take every precaution to ensure that every inmate is safe at all times.

3. If I am a victim of a crime, how do I get notified when someone gets released?: Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) is an automated notification system that helps you exercise your rights as a crime victim. When you register for the VINE service, you will receive a phone call or email to notify you of court dates related to your case. VINE will also contact you about the release, escape, or transfer of your offender. VINE can also notify you on the compliance status of a sex offender. Recently, Maryland has added Probation and Parole to the list of notifications VINE can make. Now you can be alerted when your offender is being reviewed for Parole, has upcoming parole hearing, change in supervision, if re-arrested, is due to be released, or more.
