Caroline County Department of Corrections opened its doors back in 1994. The reason for the detention center was to provide a safer community for all involved. With the new State REgulations rolling out, the county jail that was standing prior to Caroline County Department of Corrections wasn’t able to meet all of these requirements set forth.

There were many agencies involved with the planning including the Caroline County Jail Administrators, the Caroline County Sheriff, Thomas Altiere, and many other agencies to make this dream become a reality. This new facility that is now known as the Caroline County Department of Corrections took many years of careful planning.

The main mission of the Caroline County Department of Corrections is to rehabilitate the inmates prior to releasing them back into the communities.

With all three facilities, they can hold over 2,400 inmates. The Caroline County Department of Corrections is one of the three jails under the operation of the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office. The Main Jail was built back in 1989.
