Why This Site Exists
Kent County does not publish an official online jail roster or a historical recent-release archive. A person who leaves Kent County Detention Center may have returned to the community, entered a court-ordered program, or moved to another custodian. The detention center’s release record is the source for its own booking event, while Maryland Judiciary Case Search can show the order or case result behind that event.
State and federal custody require different routes. The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services locator covers certain people who are currently in state custody, not a full history of released people. The Division of Parole and Probation handles many post-release supervision cases, and the Bureau of Prisons locator covers federal custody. This site organizes those official paths without treating one system as a substitute for another.

Search Partners
Some pages contain search tools supplied by outside providers. Those providers control their own results, data practices, and prices. If a visitor follows a tool to a paid service or subscription, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the reference pages available, but it does not affect what the provider charges or what its search returns.
