Baltimore City Correctional Center Inmate Lookup

Baltimore City Correctional Center Overview

Baltimore City Correctional Center, or BCCC, is operated by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Division of Correction. The official DPSCS page lists the facility at 901 Greenmount Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21202, with phone 410-332-4340 and fax 410-576-9470. The facility opened in 1984 and is classified by DPSCS as minimum, pre-release, and work release.

BCCC is not the same as Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center. BCBIC handles much of the new Baltimore City booking and pretrial intake activity. BCCC's role is state correctional custody, especially minimum-security, pre-release, and work-release population. That difference controls both the lookup method and the visitor expectations.

The official DPSCS Baltimore City Correctional Center page is the facility-specific source for the address, phone, security designation, year opened, and visiting schedule captured in the research. It names Commissioner Keith D. Dickens, Acting Warden Michelle Mann, Assistant Warden Damilare Adisa-Thomas, and Facility Administrator Vera Wright in the official page text captured for the research file.

The screenshot below is matched to BCCC from the manifest and comes from the official DPSCS location page.

The official page is useful for BCCC contact and visiting information, while the statewide DPSCS locator is the more appropriate public lookup route for a covered incarcerated individual in state custody.

Baltimore City Correctional Center Capacity and Population

A 2024 PREA audit search result listed Baltimore City Correctional Center with a designed facility capacity of 508. The research did not locate a current static official population table for BCCC that should be presented as today's live count. Because BCCC is a state facility, its population changes through release decisions, work-release status, pre-release movement, transfers, classification, and statewide housing needs.

The capacity number should be used with its source year. It should not be merged into the BCBIC capacity, the YDC youth count, or the CDF federal detention figure as if all were one jail. Baltimore City has several DPSCS facilities near one another, and they hold different groups for different legal reasons.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Baltimore City Correctional Center

Use the DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator for a person who may be committed to the custody of the Commissioner of Correction and housed in a Division of Correction facility such as BCCC. The locator uses first and last name fields and is free to search. It is not a complete list of every person in DPSCS custody and is not the same as a Baltimore City same-day booking roster.

1. Search the DPSCS locator by legal first and last name.
2. Review whether the housing location is Baltimore City Correctional Center or another Maryland facility.
3. If the person was arrested today or yesterday, contact BCBIC detainee service numbers because BCCC is not the primary booking center.
4. Use Maryland Judiciary Case Search for public court charges, case numbers, court dates, and dispositions.
5. Use Maryland VINE for custody or case notifications when notification coverage is available.

Baltimore City Correctional Center Address and Contact

Use the facility contact information when confirming a visit, facility assignment, mail issue, or work-release related status. If the question is about a criminal case, court date, or charge outcome, Maryland Judiciary Case Search and the appropriate court clerk are separate records channels.

Visiting Someone at Baltimore City Correctional Center

The BCCC visiting schedule captured in the research runs Wednesday through Sunday. Wednesday through Friday visits are 6 PM to 9 PM for general population and work release, with registration by 8 PM. Saturday and Sunday visits are 10 AM to 2 PM, with registration by 1 PM. Visits use an even and odd DOC number and date system, and DPSCS notes that visits can be shortened during high visitor volume. There are no visits on the 31st.

General DPSCS screening and conduct rules apply. Visitors may need to clear a metal detector and may be subject to canine, electronic drug detection, or visual searches. Visitors age 16 or older need valid state-issued photo identification. Cell phones, tobacco products, and electronic devices must be secured outside the visiting area. Because BCCC includes work-release and pre-release populations, confirm that the person is eligible for the visit on the chosen date.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Baltimore City Correctional Center

Mail to BCCC should use the incarcerated individual's legal name, SID if known, the facility name, and the Greenmount Avenue address. DPSCS mail and package rules can change, and package rules are not always the same as ordinary letters. Verify current book, package, photo, and scanning rules before sending items.

Phone account services for DPSCS are handled through ConnectNetwork/GTL/ViaPath. DPSCS says it does not set up family phone accounts directly. Account products include AdvancePay prepaid telephone accounts and ConnectNetwork PIN Debit, and the support number documented in the research is 877-650-4249.

For funds, DPSCS uses the Maryland Offender Banking System. Lockbox money orders go to P.O. Box 17111, Baltimore, MD 21297-0382 with the incarcerated individual's name, facility name or abbreviation, SID, and the sender's correct name and address. Money orders should be payable to the incarcerated individual as shown, with no aliases or nicknames, and printed in black or blue ink. DPSCS says correctly submitted funds usually post in 2 to 7 business days from receipt and processing, up to 10 days with mail delivery, and money orders of $250 or more are held for 30 days.

Pre-Release, Work Release, and State Custody at BCCC

BCCC's minimum, pre-release, and work-release designation means it sits later in the custody path than initial booking. A person arrested in Baltimore City normally enters the pretrial process through DPSCS intake such as Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center. A person at BCCC is more likely to be in sentenced state custody, approaching release, assigned to work release, or otherwise classified for a lower-security correctional setting.

Work release and pre-release status can affect daily movement, visiting eligibility, phone access, job schedules, supervision, and release planning. Those details are not always visible in a public lookup result. The court record may show sentence information, but the facility controls day-to-day program rules. For a current housing location, use the DPSCS locator and confirm directly with BCCC when a visit or mail action depends on current status.

About Baltimore City Correctional Center

BCCC is part of Baltimore City's unusually state-run detention and correctional environment. The Baltimore City Sheriff's Office is relevant to warrants, courthouse security, civil process, and law-enforcement functions, but it is not the operator of BCCC. DPSCS runs the facility. That local structure is why a Baltimore City inmate search often needs more than one route: BCBIC for same-day booking, DPSCS locator for state custody, Maryland Case Search for court charges, Maryland VINE for notifications, and BOP or ICE tools for federal or immigration custody.

Nearby facilities add to the confusion. Youth Detention Center is next door on Greenmount Avenue, Metropolitan Transition Center is on Forrest Street, and several Madison Street facilities serve intake, reception, classification, or federal detention functions. The exact facility name, address, and custody type should be verified before travel or money deposits.
