Calvert County Work Release Building Custody Lookup

Calvert County Work Release Building Overview

The Calvert County Work Release Building is listed by the county in the same correctional-campus contact block as the Calvert County Detention Center. Research places it at 325 Stafford Road in Prince Frederick, in the same parking lot as the detention center, with hours listed as 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is operated through the Calvert County Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau and the Community Supervision Unit.

This page treats the building as a work-release and community-supervision facility because that is how the official material describes it. It should not be read as a separate city jail, state prison, federal facility, or ICE detention site. The people associated with this building are sentenced offenders approved for work release by the court, while related Community Supervision Unit programs include home detention and supervised pretrial release. Current custody and program status still need to be confirmed through official channels.

The official detention-center contact page is the matching public source for the correctional campus and Work Release Building listing.

Because the building is tied to the detention center rather than a separate published roster, the lookup steps below use detention-center and records channels instead of inventing a separate work-release search page.

Who Is Assigned to the Work Release Building

Calvert's official Work Release Program page describes work release as a sentencing alternative that lets eligible offenders maintain employment while serving a court-imposed sentence. The key phrase is "sentenced offenders." The county rules say only sentenced offenders with court-recommended work-release commitments will be considered.

The program is not a general pretrial release list and not a public roster for everyone arrested in Calvert County. A person newly arrested and waiting for court generally belongs in the Calvert County Detention Center lookup chain first. A person who has been sentenced and recommended by the court for work release may be reviewed for the program, subject to staff control and program rules. If another jurisdiction has placed a detainer on the person, the official rule says the offender will not be considered for work release until the detainer is satisfied.

Community Supervision Unit Context

The Work Release Building belongs in the broader Calvert County Community Supervision Unit picture. The official Community Supervision Unit page links Home Detention, Pre-Trial Release, and Work Release. Those programs are related, but they are not interchangeable.

Home detention is for offenders who present minimal danger and have been sentenced by the courts. It can allow a person to serve a sentence at home with electronic monitoring under strict supervision, including situations involving special needs or medical conditions when the person can continue care with a provider. Pre-Trial Release is for offenders charged with a crime that may be adjudicated by the courts and who present minimal danger. It requires court authorization or court order, and staff may interview, process, and set supervision levels that include electronic monitoring or treatment. Work release is different because it is limited to sentenced offenders with court-recommended work-release commitments.

The Sheriff's Q4 2025 report gives the Community Supervision Unit practical context: it reported 18 people on pretrial release and seven on home detention. The same report's average daily inmate population figure of 128 included pretrial and home detention, so the number should be read cautiously when comparing it with a jail-only bed count.

How to Look Up a Work Release Participant

There is no separate official public roster for the Work Release Building in the researched county web pages. That matters because a work-release participant may still be tied to detention-center records, court orders, Community Supervision Unit supervision, and employer reporting rather than a standalone public search page. Use the same official custody fallbacks, but ask the question in work-release terms.

1. Confirm whether the person is in county custody or community supervision by calling the Calvert County Detention Center at 410-535-4300. Ask whether the person is in jail custody, work release, home detention, pretrial release, transferred, or released.
2. Check the Calvert County Sheriff mobile app if available. The app listings advertise corrections information including inmate search, visitation, bail, and commissary payment options, but the app-store pages do not show exact work-release search fields.
3. Review the court order or Maryland Judiciary Case Search result for sentencing, release conditions, detainers, and upcoming court events. Work release requires a court-recommended commitment.
4. Use Maryland VINE for custody-status notifications when available, remembering that VINE is a notification tool and not a guarantee of every supervision detail.
5. Submit a Calvert County Public Information Act request if you need a nonexempt record, such as a booking record, program-related custody record, or specific historical status confirmation.
6. If the person was committed to state prison, search the Maryland DPSCS locator instead. If federal or immigration custody is involved, use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels.

Calvert County Work Release Building Address and Contact

The county lists the Work Release Building in the same parking lot as the detention center. The physical address in the research is 325 Stafford Road, Prince Frederick, MD 20610, and the listed hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The detention center phone line is the published correctional-campus contact point for custody and program questions.

Visiting or Contacting Someone in Work Release

The official visitation schedule in the research is the Calvert County Detention Center schedule. It is appointment-only, weekend-based, and tied to the inmate visitation list. For a work-release participant, do not assume ordinary jail visitation rules apply exactly the same way at every point in the program. Movement, employment, testing, treatment, and reporting are staff-controlled. Call the detention center or Community Supervision Unit contact channel before planning travel or attempting contact at the Work Release Building.

Mail, Phone, Money, and Commissary Questions

The research does not document a separate mail, deposit, phone, or commissary system just for the Work Release Building. Where a participant remains tied to the detention center's custody systems, the jail rules may be the relevant starting point. That means USPS-only inmate mail to the Calvert County Detention Center mailing address, money orders payable to CCDC, lobby kiosk or JailATM deposits where appropriate, and Paytel phone account support. Because work-release status can change how a person moves, works, or reports, confirm the proper channel before sending mail or money.

Records, Court Orders, and Public Access Limits

Work-release status sits at the intersection of jail records and court records. The detention center or Community Supervision Unit may know current status, but the court order explains whether work release was recommended, what sentence was imposed, and whether conditions or detainers affect eligibility. Maryland Judiciary Case Search is the main public court index for Calvert District Court and Circuit Court case records, while the county Public Information Act process is the route for nonexempt county records that are not available through a simple phone inquiry.

Maryland's Public Information Act allows inspection of public records unless another law permits or requires denial. Calvert's PIA materials say there is no central PIA agency, the first two hours of search and preparation are free, most records are produced within 10 working days, and additional time can extend the response up to 30 days. A useful request should include the person's full name, booking date or case number if known, the date range, and the specific record sought. Do not ask for broad program files if a narrower custody-status or booking-record request will answer the question.

Detainers are especially important. The official Work Release Program says offenders with detainers from other jurisdictions will not be considered until the detainer is satisfied. A person may appear eligible under one Calvert case and still be blocked by another warrant, body attachment, probation matter, federal hold, or immigration detainer.

How Work Release Fits the Stafford Road Jail Campus

Calvert's correctional history helps explain why work release is treated as part of the county detention system rather than a stand-alone jail. The Barstow jail opened on September 5, 1978, with six work-release inmates and 20 maximum-security inmates. That local detail shows work release has been part of the county's correctional operations since the modern jail's opening period. The later 1992 expansion added maximum, medium, and minimum housing areas and raised the rated capacity listed by the county history page to 172.

The official history page is a direct match for the jail campus background and the launch-day work-release detail.

The history page supports the distinction between jail housing, work-release participation, and later community-supervision alternatives instead of treating every Stafford Road program as the same custody category.

The program's stated benefits are practical: continued employment, family support, treatment and counseling access, and accountability with community employers. Staff can work with offenders and employers on job placement and performance evaluation. Approved licensed businesses may employ eligible offenders. Those program features depend on court approval and staff supervision, and they do not erase the sentence being served.
