While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The Division of Pretrial Detention and Services, situated in Baltimore City, oversees several key facilities, including the Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center, the Chesapeake Detention Facility, the Metropolitan Transition Center, and the Baltimore Pre-trial Complex. This complex encompasses the Wyatt Building, Jail Industries Building, Annex, and Women’s Detention Center.
The BCBIC plays a vital role in the intake and classification process for most inmates in the state. As an intake facility, inmates typically stay here for a brief period before being transferred to a more permanent location following classification. Upon arrival, inmates undergo the intake procedure and are provided with inmate clothing after being stripped of their personal belongings. Friends and family have the opportunity to retrieve inmates' possessions within three days of initial booking at 301 East Eager Street, with photo identification required for retrieval. After three days, unclaimed items are relocated to the Jail Industries Building, where pickup is available Monday through Friday from 10 am to 2 pm, also requiring photo ID.
The Division of Pretrial and Detention Services prioritizes the safety and security of staff, detainees, and inmates while maintaining a commitment to humane treatment and recognizing the value of every individual. Adequate training and equipment are provided to staff, and cost-effective services are implemented to ensure efficient operations. The division is dedicated to protecting all individuals, including the public, employees, those in custody, and victims of crime.
Furthermore, the division engages with communities statewide, recognizing that many offenders will eventually return to these communities. Through various initiatives, including public works and sustainability projects, the division collaborates with offenders to contribute positively to the community, thereby saving taxpayer dollars and preserving Maryland's natural resources.
