VISITORS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS & LOVED ONES,
WELCOME!
Maintaining and improving relationships between inmates and their families, friends, and loved ones is one of the Maryland’s Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS) key initiatives. Strengthening this bond offers a support net that can help inmates not only achieve success after they leave DPSCS, but also heal their families and social support systems.
The Department is committed to protecting the health of inmates and staff. The Department’s leadership team continues to monitor the data regarding the spread of COVID-19 across its system and within Maryland communities. The need to modify operations and inmate movement may vary and change at any given time based on the need and/or severity of the health situation as indicated by the COVID-19 data and/or recommendations of the Maryland Department of Health.
