Anne Arundel County Jail Roster
Anne Arundel County provides a jail roster through its online inmate locator at the Department of Detention Facilities website. With about 588,000 residents, this is one of the largest counties in Maryland. The county runs two detention facilities: Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis and Ordnance Road Correctional Center in Glen Burnie. Both facilities feed into the same inmate search system. If someone was recently arrested in Anne Arundel County, you can look them up by name or jail identification number. The locator shows who is currently in custody and basic booking details.
Anne Arundel County Overview
Anne Arundel County Inmate Locator
The Anne Arundel County inmate locator is at aacounty.org/detention-facilities/inmate-locator. You need a first name and last name to search. Or you can use a JID number, which is the jail identification number given at booking. The search must be an exact match. Typing "Jon" will not find "John." Only people who are currently housed in an Anne Arundel County facility show up in results.
Results on the Anne Arundel County jail roster show the housing location, any future court dates, and bail information. This tells you which facility the person is at and when they might appear in court. The system gets updated regularly, but it is not real-time. There can be a short delay between a booking or release and when it shows on the locator. If you just need to confirm someone is in custody at the Anne Arundel County detention center, this tool does the job fast and free.
Below is how the Anne Arundel County inmate locator page appears on the county website.
Note: The inmate locator only shows currently housed inmates, not people who have been released from Anne Arundel County custody.
Jennifer Road Detention Center
Jennifer Road Detention Center is the main intake facility for the Anne Arundel County jail roster. It sits at 131 Jennifer Road in Annapolis, MD 21401. This is a maximum-security facility that handles pretrial detention. It was built in 1966 and holds about 631 inmates. When someone gets arrested in Anne Arundel County, this is usually where they go first. All new bookings start here before inmates are classified and possibly moved.
Visitation at Jennifer Road allows two personal visits per week. Each visit can last up to one hour, though it may be cut to 30 minutes when the facility is busy. Up to two visitors can come at the same time. These are non-contact visits. Attorneys can visit at any time, day or night. The Jennifer Road page on the county site has current rules and more details about this Anne Arundel County facility.

Anne Arundel County Jail Roster Records
If you need records beyond what the online jail roster shows, Anne Arundel County accepts requests under the Maryland Public Information Act. The PIA request form is at aacounty.org/pia.

The county must respond within 30 days per Gen. Prov. § 4-202. Requests that take more than two hours of staff time may have fees attached.
Some records from the Anne Arundel County jail roster are restricted. You cannot get medical or mental health records, disciplinary reports, security classification documents, or victim information. Juvenile offender records are also off limits. Under Corr. Serv. § 11-703, Anne Arundel County has specific local correctional statutes that apply to how the detention facilities operate and release information. Basic booking data and charge information are public, though.
Note: Be aware of scam callers posing as security supervisors offering early release or bail for a fee, as Anne Arundel County has warned about this targeting families of inmates.
