Maryland Correctional Training Center Inmate Search

Maryland Correctional Training Center Overview

Maryland Correctional Training Center, or MCTC, is operated by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. DPSCS lists the facility at 18800 Roxbury Road in Hagerstown. The research identifies its security levels as Medium, Minimum and Pre-Release and gives 1966 as the year opened. MCTC is one of the three state prisons on Roxbury Road, along with Maryland Correctional Institution - Hagerstown and Roxbury Correctional Institution.

MCTC is not a county jail. It is not the place to start for someone arrested today in Washington County, and its facility page does not replace the WCSO inmate search. It is the relevant facility page when a person is committed to Maryland state custody and assigned to MCTC, including the main compound, Harold E. Donnell Building, or Emergency Housing Unit populations identified in the research.

DPSCS information inspected for MCTC listed Commissioner Keith D. Dickens, Warden Cleveland Friday, Assistant Warden James Wilson, Acting Security Chief Charles Conley, and Acting Facility Administrator for HED/EHU Joel Wilt. Because the facility has multiple housing and visiting tracks, readers should verify the person's exact assignment before choosing a schedule or submitting a visit request.

The official screenshot for this facility comes from the DPSCS source page: Maryland Correctional Training Center facility page.

The image supports the MCTC-specific contact and visiting information, especially the difference between the main compound and HED/EHU visitation tracks.

MCTC Capacity and Population

Official population and rated-capacity figures for Maryland Correctional Training Center were not published in the DPSCS facility page material captured for the research. Section 15 says state prison population figures for MCI-H, MCTC, and RCI were not available on the inspected official facility pages. The page therefore should be read as a facility access and custody-location resource, not a live population dashboard.

What is documented is the custody type. MCTC is a state prison facility for sentenced Maryland incarcerated individuals, with security levels listed as Medium, Minimum and Pre-Release. That makes the DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator the correct search channel. The Washington County Detention Center's jail roster remains the correct channel for current local jail custody, pretrial detainees, short local sentences, and people waiting on bond or early court events.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Maryland Correctional Training Center

For MCTC, start with the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator. The locator searches by first and last name and is intended for people committed to the Commissioner of Correction and housed in Division of Correction facilities, Patuxent Institution, and certain short-sentenced Division of Pretrial and Detention Services populations. It does not list everyone, and it does not list people who are no longer in custody.

1. Open the DPSCS locator rather than the Washington County Sheriff's inmate roster.
2. Enter the person's first and last name as accurately as possible.
3. Check whether the result shows Maryland Correctional Training Center as the current housing location.
4. If the result is missing, check county jail custody, federal BOP custody, ICE ODLS, release status, and spelling variants.

Maryland Correctional Training Center Address and Contact

Call MCTC for facility-specific questions after confirming that the person is assigned there. The main facility contact can help route questions about visiting procedures, current schedule status, and institutional rules. It should not be used as a substitute for the WCSO jail information line when the person is newly arrested or still awaiting local charging and bond events.

Visiting Someone at Maryland Correctional Training Center

MCTC visitation is more unit-specific than a simple weekend schedule. The main compound, administrative segregation, restrictive housing, Harold E. Donnell Building, and Emergency Housing Unit tracks can have different appointment windows and visit lengths. The incarcerated person schedules some in-person appointments, and virtual visitation requires the video-visit acknowledgment process noted in the research.

Visitors over 18 must present photo identification with date of birth and current address, and the research states that adults are fingerprinted using Web ID or Fast ID equipment. Confirm the assigned unit before traveling because the wrong schedule can result in a missed visit even if the person is at MCTC.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Maryland Correctional Training Center

Section 13 of the research states that phone and money services for Washington County state prisons use ConnectNetwork, not JPay's county-jail page. ConnectNetwork, GTL, and ViaPath services are used for phone and debit account services at Maryland state correctional facilities. AdvancePay funds calls to a specific telephone number, and PIN Debit deposits fund the incarcerated person's phone account. Fees may apply.

Mail should follow current DPSCS and MCTC rules. The research does not provide a complete MCTC-specific mail format beyond the official facility address, so confirm current instructions before sending letters, photos, publications, or any item beyond ordinary correspondence. Do not assume that Washington County Detention Center mail, commissary, or JPay rules apply to MCTC.

State Prison Intake and Assignment at MCTC

A person does not enter MCTC through an ordinary Washington County arrest booking. Local arrests usually move through the Washington County Detention Center, commissioner or first appearance proceedings, bond decisions, and District or Circuit Court records. If the person receives a Maryland prison sentence, DPSCS custody and classification determine the later housing location.

After that transfer, a person may stop appearing in WCSO jail search results because the county jail is no longer the active custody system. The DPSCS locator, the MCTC facility page, and Maryland court records together give a clearer picture: the locator can show housing, the facility page gives contact and visit rules, and Maryland Judiciary Case Search gives the court case history. Federal and immigration custody require separate BOP and ICE search tools.

About Maryland Correctional Training Center

MCTC's mix of medium, minimum, and pre-release security levels makes it different from the medium-security MCI-H page and the Level II Medium RCI page. The facility's main compound, Harold E. Donnell Building, and Emergency Housing Unit references also make its visiting instructions more complicated than a single general-population table.

The correctional geography in Washington County creates frequent confusion. The county jail is on Western Maryland Parkway and handles current local jail custody. MCTC is on Roxbury Road and is part of Maryland's prison system. A person's search path should follow the custody stage: WCSO roster for a recent local arrest, DPSCS locator for a Maryland state-prison assignment, BOP locator for a federal sentence, and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
