Detention Center Expansion Project

Since 2006, St. Mary’s County has evaluated several options to address the needs and deficiencies of the St. Mary’s County Detention and Rehabilitation Center. In March of 2016, Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron after consultation with Corrections Division Staff, the Department of Public Works and Transportation officials and careful review of the Capital Improvement Budget and Program for Fiscal Year 2017, requested consideration for an alternative plan to the renovation project slated by the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County (CSMC).

The newest option approved by the CSMC is to add a housing unit to "support the female incarcerated individual populations through the year 2030, a new medical clinic and infirmary, an expanded laundry area, a new Pre-Trial Services Office Suite, new fire alarm system throughout, upgraded HVAC systems, and new central control room with an upgraded, fully integrated security system. In the interim, the new female housing unit serves as swing space to temporarily house incarcerated individuals displaced from their housing unit while infrastructure upgrades are installed."
