Kent County Inmate Search & Jail Records

Police authorities in Kent County take most arrestees to theJames T. Vaughan Correctional Center or the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution before their first court appearances. The facility is managed by the Delaware Department of Corrections and serves as the primary detention center for Kent County's pretrial population.

The Department provides an online inmate search system, which a third-party vendor operates, that shows people currently in custody. However, members of the public can contact the department directly for information regarding detained individuals.
