Queen Anne's County Jail Roster Overview
Queen Anne's County has one active adult county detention facility in the research materials: the Queen Anne's County Detention Center at 500 Little Hut Drive in Centreville. The county describes the facility as serving the courts plus local and state law-enforcement agencies. It is operated by the Queen Anne's County Department of Corrections, with LaMonte Cooke listed as warden. The sheriff is Gary Hofmann, whose office is separate from the county detention department but remains important for law-enforcement records, public-information requests, app access, and arrest-related questions.
The central local finding is that no conventional public web roster was found on the official county site or the Queen Anne's County Office of the Sheriff site. The Sheriff's Office and store listings for the Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES app do advertise an inmate search feature, so the app is an official access channel. The app search fields and result layout were not inspectable from a normal desktop browser. If the app is not available, the practical official fallback is the Detention Center phone line at 410-758-3817.
County jail records should not be confused with Maryland prison records, federal custody records, immigration detention records, or court records. A person newly arrested in Queen Anne's County may be booked into the county detention center, released by citation, moved because of another agency's hold, or later transferred to state custody after sentencing. Once the person is committed to Maryland state custody, use the DPSCS locator rather than the county jail. Federal prisoners use BOP channels, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS and related notification tools.
How Do I Find Someone in the Queen Anne's County Jail?
Because Queen Anne's County does not expose a normal browser roster, the lookup sequence is a fallback chain instead of a single roster URL. Start with the current-custody source that can confirm whether the person is physically held at the Detention Center. Then use court, state, federal, or immigration tools only when the facts point away from local jail custody.
- Call the Queen Anne's County Detention Center at 410-758-3817. Ask whether the person is currently in custody, whether a booking number is available, and whether the person is eligible for visitation or deposits.
- Open the Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES app on iOS or Android if available. The app listings advertise inmate search, contact information, alerts, Most Wanted, crime tips, sex offenders, weather, news, and social posts.
- Check Maryland VINELink for custody status and notification. VINELink is useful when a public roster is absent, but it is not a full local booking profile.
- Search Maryland Judiciary Case Search for charges, case numbers, trial dates, and dispositions after the court record exists. Case Search is not a live jail roster.
- Use DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator for sentenced state custody. Use BOP or ICE ODLS only for federal or immigration custody.
- If an official document is needed, use the Sheriff public-information request process for sheriff-held law-enforcement records or ask the Detention Center who maintains the specific jail record.
The official Detention Center page from Queen Anne's County is the primary source for facility contact, services, mail, money, and visitation basics.
That county page matters because deposits, mail, phone access, visitation scheduling, and local custody questions all depend on the person actually being held at the Centreville detention facility.
Queen Anne's County Roster Search Fields
The county research did not locate an official browser roster, so there is no public web form with ordinary last-name, first-name, booking-number, or facility filters. The sheriff app appears to be the only advertised local inmate-search interface, but the mobile app's fields were not captured from a browser. For public-facing lookup fields, use the table below to decide which tool matches the situation.
| Channel | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| County web roster | No official web roster located | n/a | n/a | The official county and sheriff websites did not expose a standard public jail roster search form. |
| Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES app | Inmate search | Mobile app feature | Unknown | App Store and Google Play confirm the feature, but field labels were not visible without using the app. |
| DPSCS locator | First Name, Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Use for sentenced or committed Maryland state custody, not fresh county bookings. |
| BOP by-name locator | First, Middle, Last, Race, Sex, Age | Text and options | Last name is the core field | Use for federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to present. |
| ICE ODLS | A-Number, Country of Birth, Name, Birth Date | Text, country, date | Depends on search path | Search by A-number and country, or by name, country of birth, and birth date. |
What Does a Roster Record Show?
Because a normal Queen Anne's County web profile was not located, no official browser field inventory can be promised. Still, the county's jail services explain which identifiers are important in practice. Access Corrections deposits require the incarcerated individual's current booking number. Personal mail uses the incarcerated individual's name and Securus ID number. Court records, sheriff reports, and state prison records each show different fields.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person's identifying name. It may be needed for jail phone confirmation, app lookup, court search, mail, and public-information requests. |
| Booking Number | A local custody identifier. Queen Anne's FAQ says the current booking number is needed for Access Corrections deposits. |
| Securus ID | The identifier used in the county's digitized personal-mail address and tablet or kiosk mail access. |
| Booking or Custody Status | Whether the person is being held locally, released, transferred, or possibly held under another agency path. Confirm by phone when no app result is available. |
| Charges and Case Number | Normally verified through Maryland Judiciary Case Search after filing. Case Search can show party names, city and state, case number, DOB, trial date, charge, and disposition. |
| Bond or Bail Status | May involve a District Court Commissioner, bail review before a judge, no-bond holds, detainers, or other court orders. Do not treat commissary deposits as bond payments. |
| Housing or Facility | For local custody, confirm the Queen Anne's County Detention Center. For state prison, DPSCS is designed to show housing location for covered committed individuals. |
| Release or Disposition | Local jail release must be confirmed with the jail. Court disposition is a separate case outcome field in Case Search. |
The sheriff public-information form captures law-enforcement record details instead of jail profile fields, including incident or accident date, police case number, investigating deputy, incident type, involved persons, location, and whether the requester seeks a report, dispatch notes, 911 recording, radio traffic, or camera-system video.
Finding County, State, Federal, and ICE Inmates
Queen Anne's County jail custody is local, short-term, and court-facing. Maryland state prison custody is handled by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. No active DPSCS prison, BOP federal prison, or ICE detention center was identified in Queen Anne's County, but those systems still matter when a person is transferred, federally sentenced, moved by the U.S. Marshals, or held for immigration reasons.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Detention Center phone, sheriff app, VINELink, records request | Pretrial detainees, local detention, short local sentences, and current facility questions. |
| State prison | Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator | People committed to the Commissioner of Correction and housed in covered state facilities. |
| Federal prison | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present, including people after federal sentencing. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Detainees searchable by A-number and country or by biographical information. |
| Court record | Maryland Judiciary Case Search | Charges, case number, DOB where shown, trial date, and disposition. It is not a custody roster. |
The DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator is useful after a Queen Anne's County case results in a state commitment, but DPSCS warns that it does not list everyone in custody and does not list people no longer in custody because of release, escape, or another reason.
Use DPSCS only after the custody question has moved from county detention to state correctional custody. A new arrest in Centreville still begins with the jail phone line, app, VINELink, and court records.

Booking Process in Queen Anne's County
The local sources do not publish a complete booking manual. The best record path combines the county jail page, the Queen Anne's County State's Attorney explanation of criminal process, and the Detention Center's service information. A criminal case may begin by warrantless arrest, application for statement of charges to a District Court Commissioner, charging documents from the State's Attorney, or indictment by a grand jury.
After arrest, a person may be taken to the Queen Anne's County Detention Center unless released by citation, diverted, processed through a juvenile path, or moved under another legal authority. Intake generally records identity, charging information, property, health needs, and security concerns. County materials list health care, meals, recreation, religious services, library and legal access, GED preparation, and drug and alcohol addiction classes as facility services.
For bail, a defendant arrested without a warrant or on a District Court Commissioner warrant is entitled to be brought before a commissioner for a bail determination after arrest. If bail is set and not posted, bail review before a judge follows. The jail page does not publish a bail-payment counter, accepted bail methods, or bond-posting hours, so call 410-758-3817 or the court channel before attempting to post bond. Access Corrections deposits are inmate-account deposits, not a substitute for court bail.
How to Request Booking-Related Records
When current custody cannot be confirmed through the phone line, app, or VINELink, an official document request may be needed. The sheriff public-information page instructs requesters to download the Public Information Request form and submit it by email to Office Coordinator Dawn Becker at dbecker@qac.org or by mail to the Sheriff's Office at 505 Railroad Avenue, Centreville, MD 21617.
The sheriff page lists $10 per copy of a requested report and $75 per incident per device for camera-system evidence videos with total run time under one hour, with possible additional fees. The form asks for requester details, involvement in the case, incident or accident date, investigating deputy, police case number, juvenile or adult checkbox, incident type, involved persons, location, delivery method, and requested record type. The PDF notes that approved closed-case releases are provided within 7-10 business days, and juvenile reports may be restricted.
If the desired item is a jail booking identifier, housing confirmation, visitation question, or mail and money setup question, call the Detention Center first. If the desired item is a sheriff incident report, dispatch note, 911 recording, police radio traffic recording, or camera-system video, use the sheriff public-information process.
Visitation Hours and Rules
The official Detention Center FAQ says visitors must call 410-758-3817 and select option 2 to schedule visitation. Walk-ins are not allowed. Visitation is not allowed during shift change or meal times from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The FAQ also says hours depend on the incarcerated individual's placement, so the schedule below should be read as the public rule framework rather than a universal daily time slot.
| Item | Official Detail | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | Call 410-758-3817 and select option 2. | Ask for the person's housing-based visiting availability before traveling. |
| Walk-ins | No walk-ins allowed. | Do not arrive without an appointment. |
| Blackout time | 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | No visitation during this shift-change or meal period. |
| Blackout time | 3:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | No visitation during this shift-change or meal period. |
| Schedule | Hours are based on incarcerated individual's placement. | Confirm housing and available appointment windows by phone. |
| Dress code | No mini skirts, short shorts, halter tops, bathing suits, tank tops, tube tops, or revealing clothing as deemed by staff. | Dress conservatively to avoid denied entry. |
| Video visits | Securus Video Connect is available. | Friends, family, attorneys, and public officials can schedule from an app, computer, or tablet. |
The county FAQ is also the official source for Securus phone setup, visitor dress restrictions, mail limitations, and Access Corrections deposit instructions.
Those FAQ details are especially important in Queen Anne's County because deposits and mail can require identifiers that a normal public web roster does not provide.
Mail, Phone, Video, and Securus ID Basics
Personal mail for a Queen Anne's County inmate is handled through Securus Digital Mail Center. The address format is: incarcerated individual's name and Securus ID number, Queen Anne's County Detention Center, MD, C/O Securus DMC, PO Box 20245, Tampa, FL 33622. Personal mail is scanned and made available on tablets or kiosks. The county says physical mail is destroyed 60 days after upload.
Legal mail and publications from a publisher, distributor, or authorized retailer may go directly to the facility when allowed: incarcerated individual's name and Securus ID number, Queen Anne's County Detention Center, 500 Little Hut Drive, Centreville, MD 21617. Incorrectly addressed mail can be returned or delayed. Packages, certified mail, and Amazon packages are not accepted. Prohibited items include cash, checks, photos, Polaroids, stickers, tape, glitter, markers, greeting cards, padded or colored envelopes, non-paper items, medications, memory cards, lottery tickets, prepaid phone cards, gang-related material, and threatening or hate material.
For phone accounts, the FAQ points to Securus and lists 1-800-844-6591 for setup. Securus Video Connect can be used through an app, computer, or tablet. Before sending personal mail or scheduling video access, confirm the person's current custody status and identifier by calling the Detention Center.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Queen Anne's County uses Access Corrections for deposits. The official county page links to Access Corrections, and the FAQ lists phone deposit or help access at 866-345-1884. The FAQ also says a lobby kiosk is available at the QAC Detention Center.
The important local detail is the identifier requirement. The FAQ says the sender must obtain the incarcerated individual's current booking number. Because the county does not publish a normal web roster with booking numbers, families often need to call 410-758-3817 before using the online deposit site, phone line, or lobby kiosk. Deposit services fund an inmate account and can also relate to probation or parole payments as described by the county page, but they should not be treated as bond or bail payment instructions.
Note: Confirm current custody, booking number, Securus ID, and visiting eligibility with the Detention Center before sending money, mail, or scheduling a visit.
Sheriff App and VINELink Notifications
The Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES app is a key local access channel because it advertises inmate search while no official browser roster was found. The app listings are available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Official descriptions include contact information, news, emergency alerts, local weather, inmate search, sex offenders, Most Wanted, direct crime-tip submission, social media posts, road closures, upcoming events, and community alerts.
The App Store listing shows the inmate-search feature as part of the Queen Anne's Sheriff and DES mobile app.
If the app does not return a result or is not accessible, use the Detention Center phone line for confirmation and VINELink for custody-status alerts.
Maryland VINELink is a statewide custody notification option. It is not the same as a Queen Anne's County booking record, and it may not show every local detail needed for mail, deposits, visits, or court appearances. It is still useful when a local roster is app-only or unavailable in a browser.
VINELink fits best as a notification and custody-status layer after the basic question of local, state, federal, or immigration custody has been sorted out.
When to Search BOP or ICE
Use federal and immigration locators only when the facts point away from county detention. The BOP locator is for federal inmates, not Queen Anne's County jail bookings. BOP's by-name search supports first name, middle name, last name, race, sex, and age, and BOP also supports number searches using federal identifiers. BOP warns that release dates may change because of sentence reviews and other federal calculations.
ICE ODLS is separate. USAGov and ICE explain that a detainee can be searched by A-number and country of birth, or by name, country of birth, and birth date. Immigration custody can change quickly, so a negative search does not always resolve a recent local arrest. If the person disappeared from local jail status after a federal pickup or immigration hold, check court records, ICE ODLS, family notification channels, and counsel.
The BOP locator is the correct public starting point for federal prison custody.
That federal page should not be read as a county jail roster, and it generally will not answer Queen Anne's County booking-number, visitation, mail, or commissary questions.
