About Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services
Use this website for informational purposes only.
The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services is the agency responsible for keeping and maintaining an updated database for those serving out their sentences in Maryland state prisons.
Currently, the database allows the public to search those inmates currently serving time. It currently does not provide information on everyone in the custody of the state of Maryland. You may find that some inmates with short sentences are not currently in the public database. Along with those who were once in custody, but not anymore; whether they escaped or got released.
Unlike the state of Maryland, Maryland’s city and county jails keep their records separate. If you need information on an inmate sitting in a city or county jail, you will need to get in touch with the proper authorities.
This site is not owned or operated by any state government agency, read more.
