Prince George's County Correctional Center Overview
Prince George's County Correctional Center is operated by the Prince George's County Department of Corrections, not by the Prince George's County Office of the Sheriff. The facility is at 13400 Dille Drive in Upper Marlboro, close to the county court and government corridor where custody, court, and prosecution records often intersect. Its local role is adult detention: defendants committed to the Department while awaiting trial, people serving county sentences, adults classified by county records staff, and, when applicable, juveniles charged as adults.
The county describes its corrections mission as safe, secure, and humane custody with education and training programs for incarcerated people. The Department's Population Management Division maintains case files and computerized records for every person committed to the Department, classifies incarcerated individuals into custody levels, and supplies courts with information about community ties and criminal history for release decisions. That internal records function matters because Prince George's County does not publish a standard adult jail roster in the reviewed official sources.
The Department also works with other custody lanes. County medical-services procurement materials note that the Correctional Center may house people for U.S. Marshals, ICE, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and other agencies under memoranda of understanding. A person can therefore be physically held at Dille Drive while the best lookup route is not a simple county roster search. Confirm whether the person is in county pretrial custody, state sentenced custody, federal custody, immigration custody, or another hold before relying on one source.
Prince George's County Correctional Center Capacity and Population
Official county figures should be cited by source and fiscal year because the capacity numbers differ by publication. The current county Corrections Statistical Overview lists FY2018 average daily population at 920 and jail capacity at 1,564. The FY2018 Department of Corrections Annual Report lists 18 housing units and total housing capacity of 1,524 individuals. The annual report also says the jail housed defendants awaiting trial and inmates sentenced to 18 months or less, including males, females, and juveniles charged as adults, age 14 and older.
No official current daily population dashboard for 2026 was located in the accessible county sources reviewed. Current headcount, housing status, and release timing should be confirmed through the Department of Corrections rather than estimated from old capacity data. Budget materials separately mention a Behavioral Health Unit average of 77 people monthly in FY2025, representing 7 percent of the detention center population, with a maximum of 83 acute mentally ill incarcerated individuals. That is a unit-specific budget figure, not a current jail-wide population count.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Prince George's County Correctional Center
No official public online adult roster was located for Prince George's County Correctional Center. Start with the Department of Corrections incarcerated-individual information route by calling the jail operations information line at 301-952-4800. For broader Department contact, use 301-952-7164. For bond review hearing results, call 301-952-7102 after 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If a record, booking photograph, custody document, or release record is needed beyond basic phone information, use the county MPIA portal or contact the Corrections records custodian, Captain Damian Green, at 301-952-7304.
- Call 301-952-4800 first for jail operations information and current custody direction.
- If the question involves a weekday bond review, call 301-952-7102 after 5:30 p.m. and have the person's full legal name ready.
- Search Maryland Judiciary Case Search for filed District Court or Circuit Court criminal cases near the arrest date.
- If the person has been sentenced to state custody, search the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator by first and last name.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator, ICE Online Detainee Locator System, and VINELink for custody notifications.
The county phone route and the court route answer different questions. DOC can address current custody, release processing, property, calls, mail, money, and professional visits. Maryland Case Search shows court-filed charges and dispositions after clerk processing. MPIA requests may reach records that are not online, but juvenile, sealed, expunged, investigatory, medical, attorney-client, and other exempt material can be withheld or redacted.
Prince George's County Correctional Center Address and Contact
Use the Department of Corrections for custody and facility operations. Use the Sheriff separately for warrants and court orders. The county's own help materials make that distinction: incarceration questions go to DOC, while outstanding warrant questions go to the Office of the Sheriff at 301-780-8600. The State's Attorney and courthouse are also in Upper Marlboro, but they are not jail roster custodians.

Visiting Someone at Prince George's County Correctional Center
Prince George's County's visitation materials state that public in-person visitation is not currently offered and that visits are virtual. The county also points users to PGCDOC Securus Video Visitation Status for current status and lists assistance at 301-952-7025. Because visitation status can change for lockdowns, emergencies, technical outages, and scheduling limits, confirm the virtual visit status before planning around a particular date.
Professional visits follow different rules. Attorneys may visit clients at any time except during scheduled lockdowns or emergencies, and irregular-hours attorney visits require calling the on-duty Shift Commander at 301-952-7028.

Bondsmen may visit clients at any time except lockdown or emergency periods, using non-contact visiting booths in housing units or the Processing Area.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Prince George's County Correctional Center
Beginning November 1, 2025, personal mail for incarcerated individuals is digitally delivered to assigned tablets. The county requires sender and recipient first and last names, the incarcerated individual's legal committed name, and the person's ID number. Street names, nicknames, and names other than the legal or committed name can cause rejection. Personal mail and greeting cards must use a white envelope, and correspondence must be on plain white or standard white lined paper. Hard-cover books are rejected, while newspapers, magazines, and soft-cover books must come through approved publisher or vendor channels.
When someone is processed into the Correctional Center, money and valuables are inventoried and secured in the Finance Office. Money is counted and deposited into an institutional account in the person's name, while valuables are labeled and placed in locked storage. Weekend releases can have money or valuables mailed, or the person may pick them up at Finance during published weekday windows. The public cannot call into the facility to speak directly with an incarcerated person. Calls are outgoing collect and debit only.

Booking and Intake at Prince George's County Correctional Center
Local sources do not publish a complete step-by-step booking script, so the reliable description comes from documented county functions. A person arrested in Prince George's County may be committed to the Department if held. During processing, the county confirms that money and valuables are inventoried, money is deposited into an institutional account, and valuables are stored. The telephone materials also confirm that newly processed incarcerated individuals receive an opportunity to make calls to family or bondsmen.
After intake, the Population Management Division maintains the person's case file and computerized records, classifies custody level, and gives courts information relevant to release conditions. Bond and release decisions proceed through the court process, and filed charges later appear in Maryland Judiciary Case Search after processing. If release is expected, family and friends should first check for additional charges, warrants, holds, or detainers. The county says the usual release wait is 4 to 6 hours, depending on the type of release being processed.
About Prince George's County Correctional Center
Recent official material identifies Terence Clark as Director of the Department of Corrections after joining as Acting Director in December 2023 and being confirmed by the County Council on March 12, 2024. County budget and capital-improvement materials describe ongoing detention-center housing renovations, including upgrades to the original fourteen housing units and improvements to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and major equipment systems. These items explain facility conditions and management context, but they do not replace a current custody check.
Release transportation is a local detail worth confirming before pickup. County materials say buses run from the Correctional Center to the courthouse and County Administration Building in Upper Marlboro, Addison Road Metro, and New Carrollton Metro, beginning around 6 a.m. and running approximately hourly. Released people without money may ride free with release papers. Evening van service is also described to the courthouse, Landover Metro, Addison Road Metro, and Penn Mar Shopping Center.
Note: Confirm custody, release timing, visit status, and pickup rules with the Department of Corrections before traveling to Dille Drive.
