Prince George's County Jail Mugshots and Corrections

The Prince George's County Department of Corrections runs the main detention center in Upper Marlboro. This is where most inmates end up after arrest and booking. The facility sits on Dille Drive and holds people who are waiting for trial or serving short sentences. Staff at the jail take mugshots during the intake process. Each booking creates a record that ties to the person's case.

Central processing happens in the Landover area for many arrests made by county police. Officers bring people there first for initial booking. That is where the first mugshot gets taken in most cases. After processing, inmates may transfer to the Upper Marlboro facility. The corrections department keeps records of all bookings, and you can request jail mugshots and related data through official channels. Prince George's County handles a high volume of bookings each year given its large population and urban-suburban mix.
