The Maryland State Reformatory for Women was established in
1941 as the Women's Prison and the name was changed in 1945. All
women convicted of either felonies or misdemeanors, who are sen-
tenced to confinement by a Court or a Justice of the Peace to any
institution other than a jail, are confined at the Reformatory. It is
within the discretion of the Court as to whether the sentence im-
posed shall be of a definite or an indeterminate length. Of the 167
women now confined, approximately one half are serving indetermi-
nate sentences. A sewing shop is operated as a unit of the State
Use Industries. Approximately ten acres of garden have been devel-
oped by the women for the institutional table. The average population
for the fiscal year 1950 was 156 (Code 1947 Supp., Art. 27, sec. 761A-
761C).
