Baltimore County jail inmate search

Looking for someone in custody works differently here. No web roster is published by the Baltimore County Department of Corrections. The agency instead tells you to use Maryland VINE to confirm custody. A name search on Maryland Judiciary Case Search gives you case details too. When an arrest happened in the last several hours, records may not appear yet, so call (410) 512-3200.

At the Baltimore County Detention Center in Towson, new arrivals go through intake. Records may not yet show someone who was arrested within the last several hours. Call the Corrections: Baltimore County Government 24/7 hotline at (410) 512-3200.

Families have separate phone lines for specific needs. Two pages, Corrections: Baltimore County Government and Information for Incarcerated Individuals, list them:

• (410) 512-3200: Custody Verification 24/7 hotline to confirm custody and get an ID number.
• (410) 512-3400: Administration line for office questions rather than custody checks.
• (866) 232-1899: Automated line for trust account deposits by phone.

The Baltimore County Detention Center's Bosley and Kenilworth buildings sit at 720 Bosley Avenue, Towson, MD 21204. Ongoing renovations are noted on the Visitation Information page. All visitors must use the 404 Kenilworth Drive, Towson, MD 21204 entrance.

The county sheriff doesn't run this detention center; Corrections staff do. No sheriff's roster exists, since the Baltimore County Department of Corrections runs the facility. Check Maryland VINE or call (410) 512-3200 to confirm custody.

Visits must be booked in advance through the appointment link found on the Visitation Information page. Have the person's name, where they're housed, and their UID number ready when you schedule online. Follow these visiting rules:

• Up to 10 visitors may be listed by each person in custody.
• Use the 404 Kenilworth Drive, Towson, MD 21204 entrance while renovations continue.
• Bring a government photo ID and get there 30 minutes early.

Mail personal letters through the Postal Service, with a return address, to 720 Bosley Avenue, Towson, MD 21204. No third-party vendors are used; staff inspect all mail.

An inmate's spending money sits in a trust account. Fees of $2.95 to $6.95 are listed on the Information for Incarcerated Individuals page. Deposit cash, Visa, or Mastercard at the kiosk, use TouchPay online, call (866) 232-1899, or visit retail stores.

That money covers the commissary, which is the store inside the jail. iCare also lets you order packages.

Incoming calls can't be taken by anyone held at the detention center. Only outgoing collect calls are allowed, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. According to Information for Incarcerated Individuals, the phone carrier you have decides how these calls reach you. When Verizon isn't your phone carrier, an IC Solutions account is required before collect calls can be accepted.

Names, mugshots, and arrest records are never shown by County Jail Lookup. No online roster or photos are posted on the Corrections: Baltimore County Government site either. For custody status, check Maryland VINE, or run a Maryland Judiciary Case Search lookup.

Money or a financial guarantee that goes to the court, letting someone go home before trial, is called a bond. Maryland judicial officers may grant personal recognizance: a written promise that the person will appear in court, with no money paid. Also, they set release with conditions, pretrial home detention, or suitable bail. A judge is required for serious charges. Read about bailing someone out of jail, or hire a regulated bail bondsman.

Before anyone is released, all legal paperwork must be checked and verified by staff. The Release from Incarceration page says those being released can make local calls to get a ride. Call (410) 512-3200, or check the Maryland inmate search page.
