Talbot County Detention Center Overview

Talbot County Detention Center is operated by the Talbot County Department of Corrections. County pages also call it the Talbot County Corrections Facility. It is the adult detention and central booking point for Talbot County, which means most adult arrests by local agencies are processed through this one facility rather than through a separate city jail. The county says the facility opened in 1992 and sits in Easton's courthouse and library area.

The facility holds adult men and women. Its population includes pretrial defendants, people serving local jail sentences, work-release and alternative-sentence participants, and people held for other jurisdictions when accepted. The county overview describes a three-story split-level building with an internal security perimeter, secure lobby entry, District Court Commissioner access, an interior vehicle sally port, medical space, laundry, kitchen, recreation, library and law-library access, program rooms, and a visiting room.

The official Talbot County Detention Center overview is shown on the county page at Talbot Corrections About, which describes the building, central booking role, leadership, and daily population. That page is useful when checking whether a roster result belongs to the local jail instead of a state prison or federal facility.

The overview confirms the local scope of the detention center, which is why the county roster is the first source for current Talbot County jail custody.

Talbot County Detention Center Population

Published population figures vary by source because they answer different questions. The county public page describes an average daily incarcerated population of about 80. The FY2025 ACFR lists fiscal 2025 average daily population at 89 and bookings at 501. The MCCS audit approved March 28, 2024 lists operating capacity at 148 and gives a snapshot of 45 people on August 2, 2023. That snapshot included 40 males, 5 females, 15 locally sentenced people, and 30 awaiting trial.

Look Up Talbot County Detention Center Inmates

The correct public lookup for Talbot County Detention Center is the county's JailTracker roster, linked from the Talbot County Corrections hub. The county describes JailTracker as a way to look up incarcerated individuals committed and currently housed at the detention center. Captured agency settings show no public login requirement, current-only display, images enabled, name and ID search fields, intake date range fields, gender filters, and the Talbot County Department of Corrections agency option.

1. Open the county Corrections hub or the direct JailTracker Public Roster for agency code TCDCMD.
2. Search by first name, last name, middle name, offender ID, permanent ID, intake date range, gender, or agency.
3. Open the profile and confirm the facility, book date, court reference, case number, and active status.
4. Use Maryland Judiciary Case Search for formal court charges after booking, since roster charges can change after prosecutor review.
5. Use DPSCS, BOP, USMS, or ICE ODLS if the person is no longer housed at the local jail.

Call Corrections at 410-770-8120 when the roster is blank, the spelling is uncertain, the person may have just been booked, or a hold or transfer is possible. The roster should not be used as proof of guilt. It is a custody tool.

Talbot County Detention Center Contact

Use the facility phone line for current custody, housing assignment before a visit, and practical arrival questions. Use the sheriff's written records process for sheriff police reports, photos, and video tied to law-enforcement cases. Use the county PIA representative for county Corrections records not already posted online.

Talbot County Detention Center Visits

Friends and family visits are non-contact. The official visitation page says each incarcerated individual may have one such visit per week. Visits are 30 minutes, or one hour when visitors travel 55 miles. Up to two adults and three children may visit, and children must be with a parent or legal guardian. Adults need government photo ID. Attorneys and professional visitors need bar cards or similar professional ID, and professional visits run Monday through Friday with Saturday by appointment.

The official Talbot visitation page posts the housing schedule and visitor rules. The screenshot below is useful because housing assignment drives the day and time a visit may occur.

Call before visiting if the housing unit is unknown, because a roster profile may not give all visitor-planning details.

Talbot County Detention Center Mail and Deposits

Talbot County separates legal mail from personal scanned mail. Legal mail and money orders use the physical jail address and should be marked or addressed as instructed. Non-legal personal mail goes to a Greensboro, North Carolina scanning center with Facility ID Number 5303. Personal mail is scanned for tablet access, and the physical mail is destroyed. Cash and personal checks are not accepted for outside deposits.

The county deposits page at Talbot Corrections Deposits lists Access Corrections deposit options and money-order limits. Confirm the current inmate ID before mailing funds or personal mail.

Booking at Talbot County Detention Center

The detention center is the county's designated Central Booking Center. A practical Talbot County booking path is arrest, transport to the secure sally port, central booking entry, identity checks, LiveScan fingerprints, property collection, account setup, medical and mental-health screening, booking photo when used, initial classification, housing assignment, and commissioner or court review. New JailTracker entries appear after staff create or update the custody record. No official source gives a guaranteed roster refresh interval.

Bond information may appear by offense row in JailTracker, with observed types such as personal recognizance, full cash only, unsecured bond, 10 percent, and none. Those terms are custody and release-condition clues, not the last word on the court case. A hold, no-bond order, warrant, state or federal matter, or later court action can affect release even when one charge has an amount listed.

Talbot County Detention Center Programs

County and audit materials list community service, detention case management, house arrest and alternative sentencing, MAT addiction services, education, library, medical services, mental health services, reentry, religious services, weekender program, work release, pretrial services, and community collaboration. The audit reported MAT participation, mental-health counseling and psychiatric services, AA and NA, religious services, library, commissary, visitation, phone and tablet access, mail/tablet access, and recreation.

Talbot County policy materials include non-discrimination, protection from abuse, smoking contraband rules, and PREA reporting contacts. The 2024 MCCS audit found the facility in total compliance with adult detention standards and recommended recognition. It also documented maintenance and upgrade items, which should be read as inspection detail rather than a separate public complaint system.

Recent county releases add local context. Talbot County announced Joseph Hughes as Director of Corrections in November 2024, highlighted detention center mental-health services in August 2025, and recognized correctional staff during National Correctional Officers Week in May 2026. Those items support the same picture shown in the audit: a small county detention center with central booking duties, reentry and treatment programming, and ongoing facility maintenance rather than a separate state or federal custody role.
