The Carroll County Detention Center is located in City of Westminster fifteen minuets from the Owings Mills/ Reisterstown area. When picking up a family member when bail is paid, the address to come to is 100 North Court Street directly across from the Carroll County District Court.
After the Defendants bail has been paid if he/she is already upstairs the typical wait time is around two hours for their release. The defendant will be released from the same area where they allow visitations. If you're lucky and the defendant is in the Central Booking area the wait time is only five to ten minutes and he/she will get released from the bottom area of the detention center.
Overall, the employees in the detention center are very nice to deal with and will answer any question you have.

Carroll County release process can take longer on the weekends than the weekdays. On the weekends, the Carroll County Commissioners are on call. This means when your Carroll County Bail Bondsman arrives and the Commissioner is out of the office, the commissioner must be paged to come and process the bail. The commissioner has up to one hour to come to the detention center once being paged. After arriving the usual wait time is an extra five to ten minuets for them to get logged in to their systems. This is largely due to the fact that there is not a very high volume of crime in Carroll County.
