MARYLAND STATE REFORMATORY FOR MALES
Henry Russell Raymond, Superintendent
Breathedsville (Washington County) Telephone: Breathedsville 2800
The Maryland State Reformatory for Males was established in 1945
at the penal institution originally established as the State Penal Farm
in 1931. The Reformatory is a minimum security institution.
Male offenders from 16 to 25 are committed to the Reformatory by
the Courts for an indeterminate sentence. While primarily for youth-
ful offenders, the Board of Correction may transfer prisoners of any
age from the House of Correction or the Penitentiary to the Re-
formatory. The Board may also transfer incorrigible and unmanage-
able inmates of the Reformatory to other institutions.
The Reformatory conducts an educational program with regular
classes in basic education as well as in vocational and industrial arts
education. The institution has the part-time services of a psychologist
to aid in the classification and examination of those committed.
Located on an 875 acre farm, a dairy cattle herd is maintained which
supplies dairy products to the Reformatory as well as to other state
institutions. A cannery is also operated, and other inmates are em-
ployed on Public Works projects. The average population of the
Reformatory is 800 (Code 1947 Supp., Art. 27, sees. 758-760A).
