Where Aspen Hill Inmates Are Held

Montgomery County runs two jail facilities and a pre-release center. The main one is the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, known as MCCF, at 22880 Whelan Lane in Boyds, MD 20841.

When someone in Aspen Hill gets arrested, this is where they end up.

The Montgomery County Detention Center, or MCDC, sits at 1307 Seven Locks Road in Rockville. It has room for about 200 inmates. There is also the Pre-Release and Reentry Services center at 11651 Nebel Street in Rockville with 144 beds. The Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation runs all three facilities. Their main office is at 51 Monroe Street in Rockville. You can call them at 240-777-9000.

The MCCF facility page provides details on the main jail where Aspen Hill inmates are housed.

People booked at MCCF stay there through their pretrial period unless they post bail or get transferred to a different facility.

Aspen Hill Law Enforcement and Arrests

Aspen Hill does not have its own police department. The Montgomery County Police Department covers this area. District 4 handles Aspen Hill from its station at 2300 Randolph Road, Silver Spring, MD 20902. The phone number is 301-565-5835. Officers from District 4 respond to calls in Aspen Hill and make arrests that lead to bookings at MCCF in Boyds.

Once an officer makes an arrest in Aspen Hill, the person is transported to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility for booking and processing. There is no local holding cell or city jail. Everything goes through the county system. This means all Aspen Hill inmate population records are kept by Montgomery County, not by any local Aspen Hill office.

Searching the Aspen Hill Inmate Population

Montgomery County does not have its own online inmate search tool. The county's website used to have a search page, but it now returns a 404 error. The best way to look up someone in the Aspen Hill inmate population is through VINELink. This free tool tracks custody status in real time. You can search by name, ID, or case number. It runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

VINELink also lets you set up alerts. You can get notified by phone, email, or text when someone's custody status changes. The system is free and anonymous. It supports more than 200 languages and covers over 2,900 facilities across 48 states. For help, call 1-866-277-7477. You can also check on an Aspen Hill inmate by calling MCCF at 240-777-9976 or the inmate inquiry line at 240-777-9730. Staff can confirm if a person is in custody.

The state-level DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator is another option, but it only covers state prisons. If someone from Aspen Hill is still at the county jail in Boyds, they will not show up in the state system. That tool works best after an inmate has been sentenced and moved to state custody.

Aspen Hill Inmate Records Requests

You can request inmate records from Montgomery County through the Maryland Public Information Act. Send your request to the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation at 51 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850. The phone number is 240-777-9000. MPIA requests follow the standard 30-day response time. The Montgomery County inmate records page has more details on how to file.

Under Section 4-305, this data is public. Medical records, mental health records, and social security numbers are off limits. The first two hours of search time are typically free. After that, fees apply for copying and staff time. Fee waivers are possible under Section 4-308 if the request is in the public interest.

The inmate records page on Montgomery County's site explains how to submit records requests for people held at MCCF.
