Creating Public Jail Records

MD creates and keeps jail records for each inmate. Maryland inmate search records include everything from the initial intake paperwork when the inmate was arrested, to moves to other facilities, visitors they receive while inside, participation in programs and medical checkups. Every time something happens in a prisoner’s life, it is recorded in the jail record. The state updates the records daily and shares them with all other law enforcement agencies so that they can all work from the same information. This information is kept online, and much of it is public record.

What are Maryland Jail Records?

Maryland jail inmate search records are the documents and files that follow an inmate through the prison system until they have completed the terms of their parole. Every time someone moves a prisoner, another form is filled out, and the jail record is updated. Each Maryland inmate has their own jail record, and it includes everything that affects him or her while in the system. Visits, moves, and participation in any prison programs or services will be noted in the file. Maryland inmate search records are frequently updated, often daily by the administrative staff of the Department of Corrections.
