Montgomery County Jail Roster Lookup

The Montgomery County jail roster covers inmates held at two separate correctional facilities in the county. Montgomery County is the most populous county in Maryland with over one million residents, and its Department of Correction and Rehabilitation does not maintain an automated public list of inmates. To check who is currently in custody, you need to call the Inmate Records Section at 240-777-9730 or use statewide tools like VINELink. Staff at the records office can share booking details, charges, bond amounts, and court dates for anyone on the Montgomery County jail roster at any hour of the day.

Montgomery County Correctional Facilities

Montgomery County runs two correctional facilities. The Montgomery County Detention Center, known as MCDC, sits at 1307 Seven Locks Road in Rockville. This is the pre-trial facility where new arrests go for processing and detention. The phone number for MCDC is 240-777-9960. The second site is the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, or MCCF, at 22880 Whelan Lane in Boyds. MCCF has 1,029 beds and handles sentenced inmates and those awaiting trial who cannot post bond. The visiting desk at MCCF is 240-773-9701.

The Department of Correction and Rehabilitation oversees both sites. The department has stated clearly that it does not have an automated list of offenders. This means there is no online jail roster you can browse for Montgomery County. The screenshot below shows the main corrections page for the county.

Both facilities process inmates differently based on the charges and case status. People arrested in Montgomery County first go to MCDC for booking. From there, they may stay at MCDC or move to MCCF. If you are not sure which facility holds the person you are looking for, call the records section at 240-777-9730 and they can check both locations.
