The programs also provide necessary goods and services to public
agencies eligible to purchase them. Each institution operates a laun-
dry which serves both the institution and other State agencies and
institutions. Prisoners' earnings are credited to their respective insti-
tutional accounts. They may make certain expenditures during their
incarceration, and the balance is payable to them upon release.

tion and recording of all information necessary to permit the proper
classification of prisoners at each institution according to their abili-

tional activities include academic instruction on both the elementary
and secondary school levels, varied opportunities for advanced and
specialized study, and programs of vocational and on-the-job training.
The institutions also have complete programs of religious activities
conducted by Chaplains employed on a full-time basis. Recreational
programs are conducted at all institutions.

The Department of Correction annually inspects the county jails and

provement (Code 1957, Art. 27, sec. 710).
