286/Mary land Manual

The Division of Correction operates seven min-
imum security pre-release facilities, formerly
known as correctional camps, which provide
work and other rehabilitative opportunities for
men and women transferred to these installations.
For the most part, these facilities house inmates
who are participating in the Work Release Pro-
gram. The Central Laundry Pre-Release Unit was
established in July 1960 to serve the laundry
needs of institutions under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Be-
fore assignment to one of the pre-release units, in-
mates are carefully screened either at the Recep-
tion Center or at the institutions to which they
are assigned.

The minimum security pre-release units were
originally established as work camps by Chapter
266, Acts of 1955 (Code 1957, Art. 27, sec. 689f),
and subsequently were known as correctional
camps. The Sandy Point Correctional Camp was
relocated in Jessup and its name changed to the
Maryland Correctional Camp Center by Chapter
385, Acts of 1966. Effective July 1978, the two
Pre-Release Units established under the Commu-
nity Adult Rehabilitation Centers (CARC) legis-
lation (Art. 27, secs. 706-710E)—the Communi-
ty Corrections Center for Women in Baltimore
and the CARC Center on Greenmount Avenue in
Baltimore City—were placed under the jurisdic-
tion of the new correctional pre-release system.

On August 16, 1978, the Board of Public
Works approved the request of the Department
of Public Safety and Correctional Services to
rename the correctional camps as "pre-release
units." This change was effected divisionwide
September 1, 1978. In 1979, the camp known as
the Maryland Correctional Camp Center was
converted to a medium security facility. This fa-
cility, however, continues to be operated by the
Maryland Correctional Pre-Release System. For
the purpose of identification, this facility is titled
the Brockbridge Correctional Facility. The ad-
ministrative offices of the pre-release system are
located in Jessup.

The State Use Industries Advisory Committee
was created in 1981 (Chapter 661, Acts of 1981).
The Committee is responsible for recommending
the establishment and maintenance of industrial
plants and service centers within the Division of
Correction. These plants and centers are used for
implementing the State Use Industries programs
developed by the Commissioner of Correction
and the general manager of State Use Industries.
The sites are operated primarily with inmates in a
manner beneficial to the State and to the training
of inmates. State Use Industries provides services
and produces goods needed and used by 1) State
institutions or agencies; 2) political subdivisions
of the State; 3) any federal institution or agency;
4) any institution, agency, or political subdivision
of another state; and 5) any charitable, civic, edu-
cational, fraternal, or religious association, insti-
tution, or agency for its own use and not for re-
sale to others within one year of purchase.

Members of the Advisory Committee are the
Commissioner of Correction, ex officio; Comp-
troller of the Treasury; Secretaries of the Depart-
ments of Agriculture, Budget and Fiscal Plan-
ning, Economic and Community Development,
General Services, and Human Resources; two
General Assembly members, one chosen by the
President of the Senate and one by the Speaker of
the House; Executive Director, State Board for
Community Colleges; and State Superintendent of
Schools. Four members of private industry are
also Advisory Committee members. They are
appointed by the Governor to three-year terms.
The General Manager of State Use Industries
serves as Executive Secretary. Annually the Com-
mittee elects a chairperson.

Members of the Advisory Committee receive
no compensation for their services, but may be
reimbursed for their necessary expenses while
serving as members of the Committee (Code
1957, Article 27, sec. 681 A).
