This is a private reference site, not a government office.

Where to Ask
Dorchester County custody and court records can involve several offices. The detention center handles local jail custody at the Fieldcrest Road campus. The sheriff's website hosts the public inmate search and the sheriff's public line. Court questions may belong with the Circuit Court Criminal Department, the District Court or Court Commissioner, or the State's Attorney.

Use the following route list when the record type is not clear.
- For a current county jail custody check, start with jail inmate records, then call the detention center if the online roster does not answer the question.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the Maryland Public Information Act request path if no photo appears online.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Circuit Court Criminal Department.
- For prosecution questions, the Dorchester County State's Attorney can be reached at 410-228-3611.
- For sentenced Maryland prison custody, use the Maryland DPSCS incarcerated individual locator rather than the county roster.
- For custody notifications, use Maryland VINE. For federal sentenced custody, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS.
