Locate Frederick County Adult Detention Center Inmates

Frederick County Jail Overview

The Frederick County Sheriff's Office Adult Detention Center page identifies the Frederick County Adult Detention Center as a full-service correctional facility operated by the Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau. It is a county jail and local adult detention center, not a Maryland state prison. Its custody role includes traditional incarceration for adults awaiting trial, adults sentenced to the local jail, and people processed through the Central Booking Unit after arrest by county, city, state, or other law-enforcement agencies working in Frederick County.

The sheriff describes the Corrections Bureau as having nearly 200 employees across Administrative Services, Community Services, Inmate Services, and Security Operations. The same official page lists alternatives to incarceration beside traditional jail housing: Pre-Trial Services, Home Detention, Alternative Sentencing and Community Service, and Work Release. Those programs matter for a Frederick County Adult Detention Center inmate lookup because a person may be under sheriff correctional control without being housed in a standard jail unit.

The official Adult Detention Center screenshot in the manifest comes from the sheriff's facility page. See the source at the Frederick County Adult Detention Center overview.

The screenshot confirms the subject of the facility page and should be read with the direct-number and visitation sources below.

Frederick County Jail Lookup

Frederick County does not publish a standard official public jail roster in the sheriff and county pages reviewed. That means a current Frederick County Adult Detention Center roster search starts with the county custody channels, not with a name-search box on the sheriff site. The practical order is to call the jail or the correct ADC unit, check public arrest-log context, use Maryland VINE for custody status, submit a records request when a releasable record is needed, and use Maryland Judiciary Case Search after charges enter the court system.

For new arrests, the Central Booking Unit is the most specific phone channel listed by the sheriff. For records-specific jail questions, Offender Records is the better match. For general facility routing, the ADC main line and Shift Commander number may help. Staff may limit what can be released by phone, so callers should ask for publicly releasable custody or booking status and have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, and arrest date ready.

1. Start with the Adult Detention Center main line or Central Booking if the arrest was recent.
2. Use Offender Records for booking or custody-record questions that are not answered by the main line.
3. Check Maryland VINE for custody status and notification registration where available.
4. Search Maryland Judiciary Case Search after charges or hearings are entered by the court.
5. Use the Maryland DPSCS locator if the person has been committed to state custody after sentencing.

Frederick County ADC Contact

The Adult Detention Center is separate from the sheriff headquarters and the downtown court complex. Custody and jail-status questions go to the ADC, Central Booking, or Offender Records. Formal criminal-case questions go to the District Court, Circuit Court, or State's Attorney after charges are filed. This distinction is important in Frederick County because a person arrested by Frederick City Police, Maryland State Police, Thurmont Police, Brunswick Police, or another agency may still be booked through the county ADC.

The manifest includes the sheriff's ADC phone list. Review the source at FCSO ADC phone numbers before choosing a direct line.

The phone-number page is especially useful because it separates Central Booking, Offender Records, Inmate Services, Pre-Trial Services, and Work Release.

Frederick County ADC Visits

The FCSO visitation and mail page gives the public schedule for the Adult Detention Center. Visitors need government photo identification. Registration begins 30 minutes before the listed start time and ends 30 minutes before the listed end time. Each inmate is allowed one 30-minute visit once a week, with a maximum of four visitors. Visitors are photographed before the visit, and refusal to be photographed means the visit does not occur.

Video visitation is also part of the county system. Pay Tel Connect accounts are used for remote video visits, and the research notes five free on-site video booths at the Detention Center. Remote video visits cost $0.30 per minute. Visits can be monitored or recorded, while attorney video visits can be set up so they are not recorded under the sheriff's professional-visit rules.

The visitation screenshot comes from the official sheriff page. See FCSO visitation and mail information for the source schedule.

The same source also controls the mail rules, so visitors should check it before sending legal mail or scheduling video access.

Frederick County ADC Mail

Personal mail for ADC inmates is not mailed to Marcie's Choice Lane for direct delivery. The sheriff's mail rules state that all ADC and Work Release personal inmate mail, except legal mail, goes to a Pay Tel scanning address in Greensboro, North Carolina. That out-of-state address does not mean the person has moved. It is the processing address for scanned mail. The contractor scans mail within 24 hours of receipt, then correctional staff review it electronically within 48 hours before approved items are viewable on tablets.

Phone access is through Pay Tel. The official research lists phone hours as 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily, with no incoming calls and no staff-passed phone messages. Calls may be paid by inmate debit, collect call, or prepaid account. The listed rates are local calls at $0.07 plus tax per minute, long distance at $0.14 plus tax per minute, Mexico at $0.50 plus tax per minute, and international at $0.75 plus tax per minute. Calls are capped at 15 minutes with a one-minute warning.

That page links the jail money process to SmartDeposit and separates deposit rules from the phone-call rules.

Frederick County Jail Capacity

A current official total rated capacity and current average daily population for the Frederick County Adult Detention Center were not located in the official public sources reviewed. The strongest sourced figures are the Corrections Bureau staffing numbers and the 2024 medical-unit project details. Those sources support a medical-housing and health-services expansion, but they do not support a made-up full jail bed count or a current population total.

Maryland budget material described the Phase IV medical addition as a 26-bed medical unit that triples prior medical space. The sheriff's 2024 release lists male and female medical wards, negative-air-flow rooms, a juvenile cell, a safe room, a dental suite, exam rooms, an X-ray room, a secured pharmacy area, mental-health offices and interview rooms, televisions, a recreation area, and tablets. Wellpath is named as the contracted health provider under a two-year agreement.

Frederick County ADC Programs

The Adult Detention Center is tied to several local alternatives and support services. The sheriff names Pre-Trial Services, Home Detention, Alternative Sentencing and Community Service, and Work Release as alternatives to incarceration. More than 50 volunteers provide services and programs to incarcerated and community-based offender populations. Direct numbers in the research include Alternative Sentencing at 301-600-1928, Inmate Services at 301-600-3002, Religious Services at 301-600-3010, Volunteers at 301-600-3002, Home Detention at 301-600-2856, and Work Release at 301-600-1727.

Central Booking

The ADC unit that processes newly arrested people before court, release, or jail housing decisions.

Pretrial

Custody or supervision before the criminal case reaches disposition or sentence.

Home detention

A local alternative that keeps a person under correctional supervision outside a jail housing unit.

Work release

A community-corrections status for approved participants tied to employment or structured release conditions.

The recent medical-unit source is the sheriff's medical-unit release.

The release gives facility details that are not available from a generic custody search, including X-ray, pharmacy, mental-health rooms, and medical-bed layout.
