Where to Ask First
For a current local custody question, start with the Kent County Detention Center. For police reports or records requests, use the Sheriff's Office records process. Court charges after arrest are handled through Maryland court records and the Kent County courthouse.

Use these routes based on the type of record or custody question:
- For someone who may be in the Kent County jail, see jail inmate records and call the detention center if no online roster is available.
- For booking photos, see jail roster mugshots and use the Sheriff's Office records request path when a photo is not posted online.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Maryland Judiciary Case Search, or the Kent County Circuit Court Clerk.
- For a facility question, use the facility pages in the footer for Kent County Detention Center and the planned Mid Shore Regional Detention Center.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator and Maryland VINE for custody notifications.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, U.S. Marshals District of Maryland contacts, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
