Ordnance Road Overview
Anne Arundel County's Ordnance Road Correctional Center page places ORCC under the county Department of Detention Facilities. The county describes ORCC as a medium-security facility in Glen Burnie. It holds men and women convicted and sentenced to terms up to 18 months, and it also houses pretrial men and women awaiting trial. That mixed role makes ORCC different from a state prison and different from the Jennifer Road intake jail.
ORCC is the Anne Arundel County detention facility most closely tied to programs, reentry, pretrial supervised release, and weekender custody. The county PDF describes it as minimum/medium security and connects it to a reentry hub, weekender program, and pretrial supervised release participants. A person may appear in the same county locator used for JRDC, but the Current Location field should tell users when the person is at Ordnance Road Correctional Center.
The official ORCC facility source is shown in this captured image from the Ordnance Road Correctional Center source page.
The facility source helps separate ORCC from JRDC. ORCC is not where most street-arrest processing begins. It is more likely to matter after classification, sentencing, pretrial program placement, or transfer within Anne Arundel County detention.
Ordnance Road Capacity
Ordnance Road Correctional Center has a rated capacity of 540 according to county facility material and the county detention PDF. The FY23-April 2023 average daily population listed for ORCC was 176. That same research set notes ORCC's population includes men and women sentenced up to 18 months, as well as pretrial detainees awaiting trial. The county does not publish a static live population count for ORCC on the facility page.
The April 2023 average daily population was about one-third of rated capacity, but that should not be read as a current open-bed statement. Facility use depends on gender separation, custody level, program eligibility, court movement, staffing, medical needs, and classification. ORCC may have program or housing limits that do not show up in a simple capacity number.
Ordnance Road Lookup
The correct online search for ORCC is the Anne Arundel County Inmate Locator. It is the same county system used for Jennifer Road Detention Center. The locator covers inmates committed and currently housed at Anne Arundel County detention facilities, and it is designed to return current location, current housing, bail amount, future court dates, and District or Circuit Court case numbers.
Search by JID if the number is known. If not, search by exact first and last name. The county's own search logic requires both names unless a JID is supplied, and exact spelling matters. If a result appears, open the detailed record and check the Current Location field for Ordnance Road Correctional Center. Do not assume ORCC based only on sentence status, because the county source says ORCC can also hold pretrial men and women.
- Open the Anne Arundel County Inmate Locator.
- Enter the JID, or enter both exact first and last name.
- Select the JID in any multiple-result list and review Current Location and Current Housing.
- Use court dates and case numbers in the result to search Maryland Judiciary Case Search.
If the county locator does not show a person who may be sentenced to state custody, check the Maryland DPSCS incarcerated individual locator. DPSCS is separate from Anne Arundel County and does not list everyone, but it is the right place to search after a person is committed to the Commissioner of Correction and moved into covered state custody.
Ordnance Road Contact
ORCC has a separate address and phone number from JRDC. Use the facility phone before traveling, scheduling video visits, sending mail, or trying to confirm a program-related custody status. The public locator should be checked first, but the facility can confirm current local rules and whether a person is housed in a way that affects visits, mail, phone availability, or program participation.

Ordnance Road Video Visits
ORCC uses video visitation through ICSolutions and The Visitor. The county's ORCC visitation page and the county video-visitation PDF provide the schedule and key rules. Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance and up to four weeks ahead. The county FAQ states ORCC inmates are allowed three 30-minute visits per week, with no more than two on a visiting day and up to three visitors at a time.

Onsite video visits are three per week. Offsite video visits from home cost $6.25 according to the county PDF. Visitors should schedule only after confirming the person is still housed at ORCC. A court trip, release, transfer, disciplinary status, or housing change can affect visit availability.

Ordnance Road Admission
ORCC is not the main street-arrest intake point. Anne Arundel County intake begins at the Jennifer Road receiving area, where booking staff gather identity and residence information, collect property, issue clothing and linen, provide an ID badge, and arrange medical screening. A person who stays in custody receives a physical exam within 14 days. Case-management intake generally occurs within about 72 hours after receiving.
For sentenced inmates, a Case Manager reviews the court commitment record, explains the sentence and classification process, and considers eligibility for ORCC or continued JRDC housing. After the intake process, transfer to a general housing area may occur within one to five business days, followed by a classification meeting within seven days. That pathway explains why ORCC search results may appear after a person has already been booked at Jennifer Road.
- Work release
- A structured custody program that can allow eligible sentenced people to work under detention rules.
- Weekender sentence
- Non-consecutive confinement periods of 48 hours or less per week, commonly Friday evening to Sunday evening.
- Pretrial supervised release
- Court-supervised release pending trial, monitored through county pretrial services when the person qualifies.
About Ordnance Road
ORCC's value in the Anne Arundel County detention system is its program focus. County research ties it to sentenced custody up to 18 months, pretrial housing, reentry programming, substance-abuse services, the weekender program, and supervised release work. Addiction Services and Road to Recovery can include methadone maintenance, assessment, counseling, family support, release planning, and referrals. County material also describes help with identification documents, health coverage, housing needs, education, family concerns, and job skills as part of release planning.
ORCC also has historical immigration context that should be handled carefully. A 2018 county release said the county would end its federal 287(g) immigration-screening agreement and noted that ORCC then had an ICE agreement to house up to 130 adult male detainees. Later county commentary said ICE ordered the facility closed. The official detention-facility sources did not confirm current active ICE housing at ORCC. For present immigration custody, use ICE's locator and official federal sources rather than assuming ORCC status.
Note: Confirm ORCC custody and video-visit eligibility before paying for or scheduling an offsite visit.
