Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visits, or obtain official booking records. Use the official offices and systems below for those actions.

Official Places to Start

For current Washington County jail custody, start with the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Washington County Detention Center. Sheriff Brian K. Albert's office lists detention resources, the current inmate search, bail, inmate phone, mail, commissary, programs, PREA, and Public Information Act requests through the official WCSO site.

Washington County Sheriff's Office / Washington County Detention Center
500 Western Maryland Parkway
Hagerstown, MD 21740
Phone: 240-313-2100
Website: washcosheriff.com
Inmate Search: washcosheriff.com/inmateSearch
Public Information Act Requests: WCSO PIA request page

For records not shown in the roster, use the WCSO Public Information Act Requests page or call 240-313-2100 to ask how to request jail booking records, incident reports, or a booking photograph. Do not assume a fee, turnaround time, or release decision unless WCSO provides it.

  • For someone currently held at the county jail, use the official WCSO roster and the jail inmate records guide.
  • For booking image questions, read the jail roster mugshots page and use WCSO's PIA channel if a photo is not posted.
  • For charges, court dates, procedural history, or dispositions after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Maryland Judiciary Case Search.
  • For a specific building, use the facility pages listed in the footer, including the Detention Center and the three Hagerstown state prisons.
  • For sentenced Maryland prisoners, use the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator, not the county jail roster.
  • For federal prisoners, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS, which requires JavaScript.

Courts and Prosecutor

Jail booking details and court case details are different records. The jail roster can show current WCSO custody. Maryland Judiciary Case Search and the local court clerks are the proper path for filed charges, case status, hearings, and dispositions.

Mobile and Notification Tools
