Breathedsville (Washington County) Telephone: Hagerstown 280"

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
