The Queen Anne's County Inmate Population
The Queen Anne's County inmate population is held locally at the Queen Anne's County Detention Center in Centreville. Official county material describes the detention center as an adult facility that serves local courts and local or state law-enforcement agencies. It is operated by the Queen Anne's County Department of Corrections, with Warden LaMonte Cooke listed by the county. The local jail population includes adults awaiting court action, people held after a commissioner or judge sets release conditions, and some people serving local sentences.
That local count is different from the Maryland state prison population. A person sentenced to the custody of the Commissioner of Correction is searched through the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator, not the county jail. Federal and immigration custody are separate again. Those distinctions matter because a person can start in the Queen Anne's County inmate population after arrest, appear in Maryland court records after charges are filed, and later leave the county count after release or transfer.
Queen Anne's County Inmate Population Statistics
The best sourced population series in the research is the Maryland FY2025 Local Jails and Detention Centers capital analysis. It lists Queen Anne's County operating capacity and average daily population by fiscal year. The county's own detention page also gives the facility's capacity history, while a 2025 local opioid abatement plan gives a separate program-planning average daily population reference. Those figures should be read together, not merged into one number, because they come from different official uses.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Historical county jail capacity after expansion | 148 beds | County detention center history page, current official page |
| Operating capacity | 152 | Maryland FY2025 capital analysis, Q4 2023 |
| Average daily population | 60 | Maryland FY2025 capital analysis, FY2023 |
| Program-planning ADP reference | 106 | Queen Anne's County local abatement plan, 2025 |
| Active adult county detention facilities | 1 | Facility Map from official county sources |
The official detention center page also provides useful context for those numbers. The facility began with an original design of 40 beds, expanded to 80, then reached 104 after a 1990 dormitory addition funded by a U.S. Marshals Service grant. A 2009 modular housing project added male and female housing and brought the published history figure to 148 beds.
Queen Anne's County Inmate Population Trends
Queen Anne's County inmate population trends moved down sharply between FY2022 and FY2023. The Maryland capital analysis reports that statewide local jail average daily population rose in FY2023, while Queen Anne's County fell from 80 to 60. That was a 25 percent decline by the state's table. The county therefore had an FY2023 average daily population well below its Q4 2023 operating capacity, but that does not end the facility-planning issue.
| Fiscal Year | Average Daily Population | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FY2018 | 90 | Pre-pandemic local jail population level |
| FY2019 | 100 | High point in the six-year state table |
| FY2020 | 66 | Pandemic-era decline |
| FY2021 | 78 | Partial rebound |
| FY2022 | 80 | Continued rebound |
| FY2023 | 60 | Large decline from FY2022 |
Capacity is not the same as usable modern housing. County replacement materials say the existing detention center is antiquated and lacks the right space for male and female populations, medical and mental-health needs, segregation units, juvenile services, and support for LGBTQ+ individuals. That is why the Queen Anne's County inmate population can look low against total beds while the county still pursues a replacement facility.
Queen Anne's County Inmate Population Needs
Official sources did not provide a full demographic table by race, age, sex, charge type, or pretrial status. The strongest published local detail concerns behavioral health and reentry. A 2025 county abatement plan says the Detention Center reported substance-use disorders among 80 percent of an average daily inmate population of 106, while another passage says 75 percent of people at the jail reported struggling with substance-use disorder. That range should be treated as program context, not a roster count.
- Custody stage: the county detention center handles local adult detention before release, transfer, or state commitment.
- Health need: 2025 county opioid materials tie jail planning to substance-use treatment and reentry gaps.
- Program response: county materials describe MAT, peer support, reentry navigation, and wrap-around services.
- Data gap: no official public breakdown by race, sex, age, or charge class was located in the research file.
Laws for Queen Anne's County Jail Records
Maryland law controls what can be inspected, what may be withheld, and how fast a custodian must respond. These laws do not create a simple promise that every booking field or photo will be posted online. They do give a route for disclosable records through the Maryland Public Information Act, while correctional case records, juvenile records, medical records, sealed records, and investigatory material can be limited or redacted.
Key statutes:
General Provisions section 4-201 sets Maryland's baseline inspection right for public records.
General Provisions section 4-202 explains written applications for records unless a custodian waives that step.
General Provisions section 4-203 requires a prompt response and generally sets a 30-day outside response period.
Correctional Services section 3-602 limits disclosure of correctional case records maintained for sentenced individuals.
Search the Queen Anne's County Inmate Population
No conventional, browser-accessible Queen Anne's County jail roster was located on the official county or sheriff websites. That finding changes the search path. The fastest official local route is the Detention Center phone line, followed by the Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES mobile app, Maryland VINELink, Maryland Case Search, and records-request channels. Sheriff Gary Hofmann's office also promotes the mobile app for public-safety tools, including an advertised inmate search feature.
The Apple App Store listing and Google Play listing advertise inmate search, Most Wanted, alerts, tips, sex offenders, weather, and social posts. The app fields could not be inspected from a desktop browser, so app results should be confirmed by phone when a custody decision, visit, deposit, or mail address depends on the answer.
- Call Queen Anne's County Detention Center at 410-758-3817 for current custody, booking-number, visitation, and facility-status questions.
- Check the Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES mobile app if mobile access is available.
- Use Maryland VINELink for custody status and notification when available.
- Search Maryland Judiciary Case Search for charges, case numbers, trial dates, and dispositions after charges are filed.
- Use DPSCS, BOP, or ICE locators when the person is no longer a local county jail matter.
Queen Anne's County Inmate Lookup Fields
The official local websites did not expose a normal public roster form. That means there are no verified browser fields such as last name, booking number, housing unit, or booking date for the county jail. State and federal tools do have search fields, and those tools should be used only for the custody level they cover.
| System | Search Fields | Use It For | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| County web roster | No official browser roster located | Not available as a normal public web search | Use phone, app, VINELink, Case Search, or records request |
| Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES app | App inmate search advertised, fields unknown | Possible mobile inmate search | Desktop research could not inspect fields or result layout |
| DPSCS locator | First Name, Last Name | Sentenced people committed to Maryland state custody | Does not list everyone and omits people no longer in custody |
| BOP by-name locator | First, middle, last, race, sex, age | Federal inmates from 1982 to present | Not a county booking roster |
| ICE ODLS | A-number and country, or name, country, and birth date | Immigration detention lookup | Recent movement may not appear right away |
Queen Anne's County Inmate Record Details
Because no public browser roster profile was found, local public field detail is limited. The jail FAQ and related services show that at least two identifiers matter in practice: a current booking number for Access Corrections deposits and a Securus ID for digitized personal mail. The sheriff public-information form asks for incident date, police case number, involved persons, investigating deputy, incident type, location, and the specific record requested.
| Record Element | What the Research Supports |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Needed for Access Corrections deposits to an incarcerated person's account. |
| Securus ID | Needed with the person's name for scanned personal mail. |
| Charges | Best checked through Maryland Judiciary Case Search after court filing. |
| Custody status | Confirm through the Detention Center phone line, app if available, or VINELink. |
| Law-enforcement records | Requested from QACSO using its Public Information Request form. |
Queen Anne's County Jail vs State Prison
A local arrest does not always stay a local jail record. The Queen Anne's County Detention Center handles local adult detention. Maryland DPSCS handles sentenced state custody after commitment. BOP handles federal prison records, and ICE ODLS handles immigration detention location. When a search fails in one system, the next step is usually not a broader name search in the same place. It is checking the custody level that matches the person's stage.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | Who It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local county jail | Detention Center phone, Sheriff and DES app, VINELink, records request | Pretrial and local sentenced adults held for county/local court needs |
| Maryland state prison | DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator | People committed to the Commissioner of Correction |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | People in ICE custody who meet locator criteria |
Queen Anne's County Jail Programs
The detention center's official page lists drug and alcohol addiction classes, GED preparation, health care, library and legal access, three meals daily, recreation, and religious services. A June 2025 county action item adds more detail about medication-assisted treatment. It says all Maryland correctional facilities have been required to offer MAT services since January 1, 2023, and Queen Anne's County Detention Center had participated for several years by providing treatment, counseling, and post-release support.
Those program details belong with the Queen Anne's County inmate population because the population count is not just a bed count. The 2025 abatement plan identifies reentry navigation as a gap and describes goals for housing, employment, health care, mental health, and substance-use treatment connections. It also names peer support and care coordination as part of the jail's response to the needs seen in custody.
Program records also help explain why a small-county jail can have complex space needs. The MAT grant packet describes Wellpath medical support, University of Maryland telemedicine, medication costs, counseling links, and peer-support staffing. Those details do not change the jail roster search process, but they do show why county planning documents discuss treatment rooms, discharge planning, and reentry help alongside bed capacity.
Queen Anne's County Detention Facilities
Only one active adult county detention facility was identified in the Facility Map. No active state prison, BOP federal prison, or ICE detention center was found operating in Queen Anne's County. The former Eastern Pre-Release Unit near Church Hill is important for replacement planning, but current official materials describe it as closed and transferred to the county, not as an active inmate facility.
- Queen Anne's County Detention Center - the active local adult detention center for pretrial and local sentenced custody in Queen Anne's County.
The former Eastern Pre-Release Unit at 700 Flat Iron Square Road was considered for a Mid Shore Regional Detention Center. Later county materials say that regional plan could not move forward because Kent and Caroline counties could not commit, and Queen Anne's County is pursuing replacement of its own jail at that site.
Queen Anne's County Detention Center Source
The official Queen Anne's County Detention Center page is the main county source for facility history, services, mail, money, address, phone, and capacity background.
The county page is especially useful because it gives the jail's operating history, additions, services, and contact details in one official place.
Queen Anne's County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Queen Anne's County inmate population?
The Maryland FY2025 local jail capital analysis lists Queen Anne's County at 60 average daily population for FY2023, with Q4 2023 operating capacity of 152. A separate 2025 county abatement plan uses an average daily inmate population reference of 106 for program planning. The source and year matter because the figures answer different questions.
Is there a Queen Anne's County online jail roster?
No standard official browser-accessible county jail roster was located in the research. The Sheriff and DES mobile app advertises inmate search, but its fields were not inspectable from a desktop browser. For current custody, call the Detention Center at 410-758-3817 and use VINELink or the app as additional channels.
Where do charges appear after arrest?
Court charges appear through Maryland Judiciary Case Search after a case is filed. Case Search can show party names, case number, date of birth, trial date, charges, and disposition. Older Queen Anne's Circuit Court records may require clerk access because some older records are on Papervision in the clerk's office.
What if the person was sentenced?
Search the DPSCS locator for people committed to Maryland state custody. If the case became federal, use BOP for federal prison after sentence and federal court or U.S. Marshals channels for pretrial custody. If immigration detention is involved, search ICE ODLS and confirm through counsel or family notification routes.
