The Queen Anne County Detention Center in Centreville, MD is a state-of-the-art adult facility that provides local detention services for the courts, local, and state police agencies. With a commitment to meeting the needs of incarcerated individuals, the center offers a range of services including drug and alcohol addiction classes, GED classes, healthcare services, library and legal services, three daily meals, recreational opportunities, and religious services.
Operating 24 hours a day, the detention center aims to provide a reliable service to law enforcement and the community, while also focusing on rehabilitation and training opportunities for staff. The center has a rich history, with its construction being a result of a class action lawsuit in 1981 that highlighted the poor conditions of the old Eastern Shore jail. Under the leadership of Sheriff Mel Sewell, the old jail was closed, and a new facility was built to ensure compliance with correctional standards and improve the overall conditions for incarcerated individuals.
