Maryland inmate records are created by law enforcement and corrections staff throughout the state. Paperwork is completed when someone is arrested. The RAP sheet contains the suspect's name, address, physical description, and details of his or her crime. After that, any event that takes place in the inmate's life is recorded and added to the file. All these inmate records are stored online in a central repository, and the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (MDPSC ) is the agency in charge of keeping them and maintaining them. They are available to the general public for inmate searches 24/7.
The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services has an inmate locator feature on their website so that anyone wanting to perform a Maryland inmate search can find someone incarcerated within the state. Not all the facilities are included in the listing so in those cases, the requester should call the MDPSC directly to get information on someone housed elsewhere in the state. Released and escaped prisoners will not show up in the search results either. Anyone interested in finding out if someone has any criminal or arrest records should try the Infotracer tool. Using a quick name search the requester can see court cases, criminal records, divorces, marriages, assets and more.
Maryland has quite a few different types of corrections facilities and programs to help rehabilitate offenders while also keeping the public safe. The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services is responsible for "Pretrial Detainees, Inmates, and Supervised Offenders." The types of programs and facilities that make up the prison system are:
The Department of Corrections is committed to "returning offenders to society with the tools necessary to keep them from their former life of crime is evident in the vast array of job skill opportunities, educational programming, psychological and health sessions, and drug treatment."
Maryland has twenty-seven state prisons and reentry facilities which detain pretrial suspects, hold sentenced inmates in custody and help transition prisoners before they are released back into society. The state also has thirteen juvenile detention centers aimed at holding and rehabilitating youth offenders, so they veer off the criminal path they are on. Many local police stations have jails in Maryland. There are also three federal prisons in Maryland which hold inmates who have broken federal laws.

By equipping inmates with the skills and resources, they need to be successful reduces the need for them to return to a life of crime. Many who suffer from mental illness also receive support and treatment.
Parole is a supervisory program where inmates who have behaved well in prison and do not pose a threat to the public may be released early (before the end of their term). They must follow specific rules, including check-ins with parole officers and other items. If they fail to comply with even one of the parole board's rules, they will return to prison to serve out the remainder of their sentence.

In some cases, instead of prison, a Maryland judge will order probation. This allows the offender to walk free, keep their jobs and families and return to normal life, however, they must follow explicit rules such as being supervised by a probation officer and submitting to drug tests and regular visits. If they fail to comply with any of the court-ordered regulations, they will go to prison.
