Program Description

  Detention Services

Under the supervision of the Warden, Detention Services is responsible for the operation of two detention facilities, the Montgomery County Detention Center (MCDC) located in Rockville, and the Montgomery County Correctional Facility (MCCF) located in Clarksburg.

MCDC is responsible for the intake, reception, and diagnostic functions of the Department including law enforcement processing of adult offenders arrested in Montgomery County. The facility has the capacity to accommodate approximately 200 inmates. Over 11,000 offenders arrive annually at MCDC's Central Processing Unit (CPU) for arrest processing.

MCDC conducts psychological screening, medical screening, and risk assessment to determine the appropriate classification level of inmates and provides for the initial care, custody, and security of inmates for up to 72 hours prior to transfer to MCCF. At MCDC, bond hearings are conducted by the Maryland District Court Commissioners. They also determine eligibility of offenders for legal representation by the Public Defender's Office.

Following an initial intake at MCDC, inmates may transfer to the 1,029-bed Montgomery County Correctional Facility (MCCF), normally within 72 hours. MCCF is responsible for the custody and care of male and female offenders who are either in a pre-trial status or serving sentences of up to 18 months. Progressive and comprehensive correctional services and programs are provided to all inmates covering substance abuse treatment, mental health issues, cognitive behavioral modification programs, education, life skills, and workforce development.
