CORRECTIONAL BOOT CAMP

PO. Box 137
Jessup, MD 20794 (410) 799-4040

The former Jessup Pre-Release Unit was reor-
ganized as the Herman L. Toulson Correctional
Boot Camp in August 1990. The Camp was named
after Herman L. Toulson, Jr., a correctional officer
who was stabbed by an inmate in the south wing of
the Maryland Penitentiary on October 6, 1984.
A minimum-security institution, the Boot Camp
is a setting where staff and inmates focus on chang-
ing behavior and confronting destructive attitudes.
Through disciplined activities, Boot Camp enables
inmates to examine and change their attitudes and
values, confront their mistakes, and accept respon-
sibility for their acts.
To be eligible for Boot Camp, inmates must be
under 26 years of age, serving 5 years or less of their
first adult incarceration, and not serving a sentence
for a crime of violence. Inmates must volunteer for
the program and be medically, physically and psy-
chologically fit.
Boot Camp is based on strict discipline estab-
lished through regimented physical training, mili-

tary drill, and comprehensive rules and regulations.
Inmates labor on State highway road crews five days
a week. On Saturdays, inmates work on special
projects for local nonprofit organizations. Boot
Camp maintenance is performed by the inmates.
Academic school is mandatory each weekday eve-
ning. Counseling for substance abuse, decision-
making, and behavior modification is available for
each inmate. Daily, the Camp averages 300 inmates.
