Roxbury Correctional Institution Inmate Lookup

Roxbury Correctional Institution Overview

Roxbury Correctional Institution, commonly shortened to RCI, is operated by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. DPSCS lists the facility at 18701 Roxbury Road in Hagerstown. The research identifies RCI as a Level II Medium state prison opened in 1983. It sits in the same Roxbury Road correctional area as Maryland Correctional Institution - Hagerstown and Maryland Correctional Training Center.

RCI holds sentenced Maryland Division of Correction incarcerated individuals. It is not the Washington County Detention Center, and it does not use the Washington County Sheriff's roster as its primary public lookup. A person can be arrested locally, appear first in the county jail system, and later move into DPSCS custody after sentencing. Once that happens, the state locator is the relevant search channel.

DPSCS facility information inspected for RCI listed Commissioner Keith D. Dickens, Assistant Warden Kate Gorsuch, Administrative Aide Roberta L. Hines, security level Level II Medium, and year opened 1983. The warden and chief of security were listed as vacant on the page inspected for the research, so no names are added for those roles here.

The official image source for this page is the DPSCS RCI facility listing: Roxbury Correctional Institution facility page.

The screenshot connects the page to the official prison source for RCI contact information, visiting hours, and visitor restrictions.

RCI Capacity and Population

The inspected DPSCS facility page did not publish a current RCI population count or rated capacity. Research Section 15 states that state prison population figures for MCI-H, MCTC, and RCI were not published on the official facility pages reviewed. Because no sourced prison population number is available, this page does not state a capacity, daily population, or occupancy rate for RCI.

The available official facts are still enough to identify the correct custody system. RCI is a Level II Medium Maryland state prison for sentenced Division of Correction incarcerated individuals. For a current Washington County jail population count, the better source is the WCSO annual report and jail roster. For RCI housing location, the better source is the DPSCS locator and facility contact channel.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Roxbury Correctional Institution

Use the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator for RCI searches. The locator is built 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 settings. DPSCS notes that it does not provide information on everyone in custody and does not list people no longer in custody.

1. Open the DPSCS locator page for Maryland state custody.
2. Search using first name and last name.
3. Confirm that the housing location is Roxbury Correctional Institution before using RCI visiting or contact rules.
4. If the person does not appear, check the WCSO jail roster, Maryland court records, BOP, ICE ODLS, and possible release status.

Roxbury Correctional Institution Address and Contact

Use the RCI facility contact for prison-specific questions after confirming that the person is housed there. For new local arrests, call the Washington County Sheriff's Office or use the Washington County Detention Center page instead. For RCI, the facility number is the appropriate starting point for current visiting instructions, approved visitor questions, and location-specific rules.

Visiting Someone at Roxbury Correctional Institution

RCI in-person visitation is weekend-based in the research, with separate general population and protective custody periods. Virtual visits are weekdays only. Odd and even SID number rules apply to weekend visiting dates, so the person's state identification number can affect when a visit is available. Visitors should confirm the person's status and current schedule before traveling.

The research states that three adults and three minors are permitted per visit. Visitors cannot carry items into the visiting room except life-saving medications that are communicated to the front lobby officer. Jewelry and facial or tongue piercings must be removed except wedding rings and medical alert jewelry.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Roxbury Correctional Institution

RCI uses ConnectNetwork for phone and debit account services. As with other DPSCS facilities, AdvancePay funds calls to a specific phone number and PIN Debit deposits fund an incarcerated person's phone account. Fees may apply. These are state-prison services, so do not use the Washington County Detention Center's JPay page unless the person is actually in the county jail.

For mail, use RCI's facility address only after confirming current DPSCS mail instructions. The research does not provide a full RCI-specific mail format, package policy, or publication rule. Because prison mail rules can change and may differ from county jail mail rules, confirm current requirements before sending correspondence or property.

State Prison Intake and Custody at RCI

RCI custody begins after the criminal case has moved beyond the first local jail stage. In Washington County, a person may be booked into the detention center after arrest, appear before a judicial officer, have bond or detention reviewed, and move through District or Circuit Court. If the outcome is a Maryland prison sentence, DPSCS handles custody classification and facility assignment.

That transition explains why a person may disappear from a county jail search but appear later in a state locator. The WCSO roster is for current local jail custody. The DPSCS locator is for state prison custody. Maryland Judiciary Case Search is for court events and case history. BOP and ICE tools cover federal and immigration custody. RCI is only one part of that larger custody map, and it should be used only when the person is actually assigned there.

About Roxbury Correctional Institution

Roxbury Correctional Institution opened in 1983 and is documented as a Level II Medium Maryland state prison. It adds to Washington County's unusually dense correctional landscape: a local jail on Western Maryland Parkway and three state prisons clustered along Roxbury Road. That geography is useful but confusing. A facility's Hagerstown address does not tell a reader which lookup system applies.

RCI's visitor rules in the research emphasize controlled movement, limits on carried items, visitor-count limits, jewelry restrictions, and separate general population and protective custody windows. Those rules are consistent with a state prison environment, where visiting is part of case-management and family-contact policy but is still subject to institutional security. Always confirm both the person's housing location and the current RCI visiting status before making plans.
