Community Services Annex Overview
The Charles County Sheriff's Office installations page lists Community Services and Property Management Annex at 10435 Audie Lane in La Plata. The facility is part of the Sheriff's Office footprint, which also includes headquarters, district stations, the Charles County Detention Center, and other public-safety offices. Official research did not locate a separate annex jail phone line, a current annex bed count, or a stand-alone online annex roster. The practical lookup path therefore runs through the main detention center, CCSO records channels, Maryland VINE, Maryland courts, and state or federal locators when the person is not in local jail custody.
The Annex has a detention history that should not be overstated. Official history says the building operated as the county jail from 1981 to 1995, before the present Charles County Detention Center opened. The 2007 CCSO Annual Report says the former jail reopened on June 15, 2007 as an annex of the current facility and housed inmates assigned to alternative programs such as work release and Volunteers in Community Service. Those are important historical details, but current public sources do not support describing the Annex as a separate full-service jail with its own current booking roster.
The CCSO installations page is the matched source for the Annex address and the Sheriff's Office facility map.
That county source is useful because the Annex appears beside other official CCSO installations, while the custody lookup itself remains tied to the main detention operation.
Annex Custody and Capacity
No current separate bed count for Community Services and Property Management Annex was published in the official sources reviewed. That gap is material. The Annex should not be assigned the Charles County Detention Center's 219 cells or 2024 average daily population of 218 offenders as if those numbers belonged to the Annex alone. The current facility-count and jail-population figures belong to CCDC as the main adult detention center.
Historical sources give more detail than current public-facing pages. The 2007 annual report said the Annex housed people assigned to work release and VICS, short for Volunteers in Community Service. It reported more than 500 work-release participants and 4,520 people processed through VICS in 2007, with 196 participating agencies and 107 special projects. Those numbers are historical program data unless a newer official page confirms the same current program scale.
| Facility Question | Official Research Result |
|---|---|
| Separate annex roster | No official public annex roster located |
| Current separate bed count | Not published in official sources reviewed |
| Alternative-program history | Work release and VICS documented in 2007 |
| Current lookup line | Use CCDC or CCSO non-emergency contacts |
Look Up Annex Custody
A lookup connected to Community Services and Property Management Annex should start with the main Charles County Detention Center, because no separate annex roster was found. The local question is usually whether a person is in CCDC custody, is assigned to an alternative program, has a court date, has been released, or has moved to another custody system. Maryland VINELink is useful for status notifications. Maryland Judiciary Case Search is useful for charges and case events, not for proving physical housing at the Annex.
- Call Charles County Detention Center at 301-932-3100 or 301-932-3101 and ask for current custody or program status.
- Use CCSO non-emergency at 301-932-2222 when the question is agency routing rather than a jail-record question.
- Search Maryland VINELink for custody status and notifications if the person appears in the Maryland notification system.
- Check Maryland Judiciary Case Search for filed charges, hearing dates, bond entries, warrants, and disposition information.
- Use the Maryland DPSCS locator if sentencing or commitment may have moved the person into state custody.
If the requested item is a booking record, mugshot, police report, or other nonpublished record, CCSO NextRequest is the official records-request path, subject to Maryland Public Information Act exemptions.
Community Services Annex Contact
Community Services and Property Management Annex has a published street address, but no separate public jail information line was located. For custody, visitation, mail, money, and account questions, use the main Charles County Detention Center numbers unless an officer or official notice gives a more specific contact. For non-emergency Sheriff's Office routing, use the CCSO non-emergency number.

Annex Video Visitation
The Annex is especially relevant for visits. The official CCSO visiting-hours page says visiting is held at the Detention Center Annex, while also stating that all visits are conducted by video and not in person. Remote video visits use iWebVisit. Visitors should schedule before arrival and follow the dress and behavior rules published by the Sheriff's Office. Nonprofessional visits may be monitored and recorded.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Length and Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Remote video visit | Seven days a week, 7:45 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. | 15 minutes; $4.50 standard remote visit |
| Qualified professional remote visit | Scheduled through the video system | 15 minutes; $5.50 professional remote visit |
| In-person contact visit | Not offered on the official page | All visits are by video |
The visiting-hours source documents the Annex visit location, iWebVisit use, scheduling window, fees, and video-only rule.
The source helps separate visitor routing from custody records: a family member may use the Annex for video visiting while lookup, account, mail, and custody questions still run through the CCDC system.
Annex Mail, Phone, and Money
No separate mail, phone, or commissary rule set for Community Services and Property Management Annex was located. The safest official approach is to follow Charles County Detention Center rules unless jail staff gives a different instruction for a specific person. Personal mail uses Smart Communications/Charles County Detention Center, the inmate's name and number, PO Box 9116, Seminole, FL 33775-9195. Mail sent to the physical detention center by USPS is returned to sender under the published rules.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Personal mail | Smart Communications/Charles County Detention Center, PO Box 9116, Seminole, FL 33775-9195 |
| Phone account | Smart Communications; population phone times 08:00 a.m. to 6:55 p.m. |
| Money deposits | JailATM online or Detention Center lobby kiosk |
| Commissary limits | Account balance maximum $250; purchases maximum $100 per week |
The lobby kiosk accepts cash, debit, and credit. The detention-account details note a service fee for cash and a 10 percent service fee for debit or credit deposits. Smart Communications customer service is listed as 727-349-1561, and JailATM assistance is listed as 1-877-810-0914. Confirm that the person is eligible to receive money before depositing funds, especially when work release, release, transfer, or court movement may be involved.
Annex Programs and Intake
Community Services and Property Management Annex should not be described as the primary street-arrest booking site for Charles County. Current booking and intake information points to CCDC Central Processing. The Annex's best documented custody role is historical and program-linked. When it reopened in 2007, official history connected it to work release, Volunteers in Community Service, and court-mandated drug screenings. Work release generally means an eligible person remains under custody or supervision while leaving for approved employment, then returning under program rules.
VICS is also program-specific. The research identifies it as Volunteers in Community Service, an alternative-program path tied to community service. If a person is connected to the Annex through a program, the same person may still have jail, court, supervision, or financial records elsewhere. A current custody question should start with CCDC. A court-status question should use Maryland Judiciary Case Search. A records-release question should use CCSO NextRequest or the appropriate court records office.
Annex Records Requests
Because no public annex roster was located, records users need the formal Charles County records path when a phone call does not resolve the question. CCSO implemented NextRequest in March 2024 for police records and Maryland Public Information Act requests. The Sheriff's Office announcement says the portal supports online submission, request tracking, automatic notifications, and digital delivery to the requester's email when records are released.
The CCSO NextRequest announcement explains how the agency uses the portal for police records and public-information requests.
NextRequest is not a live custody roster. It is the better route for nonpublished records, subject to exemptions for active investigations, protected records, security concerns, and other Maryland Public Information Act limits.
Annex History and Context
Charles County's jail history gives the Annex its context. The county's early jail stood near the original courthouse in Port Tobacco. Later jails were built behind or near the courthouse in La Plata, including a 1926 jail building still used for court holding. A detention center behind the La Plata Station operated from 1981 through 1995. That building is the one official history says reopened in 2007 as an annex after the current Charles County Detention Center had already become the main adult detention center.
The modern county detention system therefore has two local locations that matter to inmate-record users. Charles County Detention Center is the main jail for booking, custody, records, mail, money, phone, and population figures. Community Services and Property Management Annex is the related location for video visitation and historically documented alternative-program activity. State prisoners from Charles County criminal cases are searched through DPSCS after commitment, while federal or immigration custody uses federal or ICE tools rather than an annex page.
Note: Confirm visit location, custody status, and account eligibility with CCDC before traveling to the Annex.
