The Howard Co Detention is a detention center located at 7301 Waterloo Rd Jessup, MD which is operated locally by the Howard County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Howard County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Jessup Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Howard County Department of Corrections manages the Howard County Detention Center, the Central Booking Facility, and the Community Service Program, ensuring the safe and humane treatment of individuals under its supervision. Its mission is accomplished by maintaining strict security, providing meaningful treatment programs, and assisting incarcerated individuals with reintegration into the community.
The Howard County Detention Center first opened in 1983 with a rated capacity of 108 inmates, initially housing 63 individuals. Within five years, the population exceeded its rated capacity, prompting the Department of Corrections to secure funding for an expansion. Completed in 1994, the expansion increased the facility's rated capacity to 361 inmates. Today, the detention center operates with a maximum capacity of 474 inmates and a rated operating capacity of 398. The facility accommodates both pre-trial detainees and sentenced individuals serving terms of up to 18 months, providing essential correctional services and rehabilitation programs as part of the county’s broader criminal justice system.

The Howard County Detention Center offers both in-person and video visitation, with strict guidelines in place to maintain security and order. Each incarcerated individual is permitted one 30-minute visit per week, with any extensions requiring approval from designated officials. Visitors must register at least 30 minutes before the end of each visitation session. New inmates are not eligible for visits while on receiving status, and no general population visits are allowed during segregation visiting hours. Inmates housed in segregation are responsible for informing their approved visitors of their visitation status and hours. Legal and professional visits are not subject to unreasonable restrictions.
For inmates housed in specific units (E Unit, F1, F2, East Wing, H1, W1, W4, W6, and WF4), face-to-face visitation has been replaced by video visitation unless otherwise approved by the Director or a designee. Visitors must register and schedule video visits through www.icsolutions.com. Inmates in these units may receive two on-site video visits per week and one off-site video visit per day. Off-site visits can be conducted using Windows or Android devices with an internet connection, but Apple and iOS products are currently unsupported. Off-site visits cost $7.50 per session, with fees paid by the visitor. The Department of Corrections does not receive any commissions for video visitation services. Questions or concerns can be directed to IC Solutions Video Visitation Support at (888) 506-8407.
Visitors must adhere to several rules while at the facility. They must present valid, unexpired photo identification and provide a current address during registration. Each visit is limited to two adults and two children, with minors required to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian unless special approval is obtained. Visitors are only allowed to visit one inmate per session and must comply with all facility policies, including prohibitions on electronic devices, food, beverages, coats, and bags in the visiting area. Free lockers are available for storing personal items.
Proper attire is mandatory, with strict guidelines on acceptable clothing. Visitors must wear fully covering tops with sleeves, and skirts or dresses must meet appropriate length requirements. See-through, excessively low-cut, or revealing attire is prohibited, as well as clothing with offensive statements or graphics. Headgear and sunglasses are not allowed inside the facility.
Failure to comply with these policies may result in the termination of a visit and potential denial of future visitation privileges. The Howard County Detention Center emphasizes the importance of maintaining decorum and safety during all visitations.
