Search Anne Arundel County Booking Releases

Anne Arundel County booking releases are available through one of the most complete online systems in Maryland. The county runs two detention facilities and posts current inmate data on its website. You can search by name to find booking details, charges, and bond amounts for people held at either the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis or the Ordnance Road Correctional Center in Glen Burnie. About 55% of the jail population turns over each week, so the roster changes fast. This guide covers how to access Anne Arundel County booking releases online, by phone, or through a records request.

Anne Arundel Detention Facilities

Anne Arundel County is one of the few Maryland counties that runs two separate detention facilities. The Jennifer Road Detention Center at 7310 Jennifer Road in Annapolis is the main booking location. It handles maximum security inmates and serves as the primary intake point for everyone arrested in the county. Call 410-222-7015 to reach this facility. The Ordnance Road Correctional Center at 600 East Ordnance Road in Glen Burnie holds medium security inmates and runs work release programs. Its phone number is 410-222-6350.

Both facilities fall under the county's Detention Facilities Division. When someone gets booked at Jennifer Road, their data goes into the county system right away. Booking releases show the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and booking date. If an inmate gets transferred to Ordnance Road, the record updates to reflect that move. The 30-bed mental health unit at Jennifer Road handles inmates who need psychiatric care during their stay. This is one of the larger mental health units in a Maryland county jail.

The county posts booking releases on its website. That makes Anne Arundel one of the easier counties to search in Maryland.

Clearing Anne Arundel Booking Records

The Second Chance Act under Courts § 3-1301 allows shielding of certain first-time misdemeanor convictions after three years. Shielded records do not appear on most public searches but still exist in the system.
