The Department of Correction was organized in 1939 to supersede
the Board of Welfare and the Board of Prison Control in the ad-
ministration of the penal institutions of the State. An Act of 1953
put administration of the Department under the control of the
Superintendent of Prisons, who is appointed by the Board of Cor-
rection with the approval of the Governor and the consent of the
Senate. The Board of Correction, as presently organized, consists of
the Chairman of the Board of Parole and Probation, ex officio, and
the Chairman and six associate members, at least one of whom must
be a woman, all of whom are appointed by the Governor, with the
advice and consent of the Senate, for six-year terms. The Board
establishes the policy of the Department and appoints the executive
personnel of the institutions upon the recommendation of the Super-
intendent of Prisons (Code 1951, 1957 supp., Art. 27, secs. 754, 756A).

The Department operates the State Use Industries, which provide
employment for the prisoners in the various penal institutions. The
goods manufactured in State Use Industries shops are for sale to the
various agencies of the State of Maryland, the Federal Government,
the District. of Columbia, and the states and territories of the United
States as well as to the political subdivisions thereof. Manufactured
products are also available to religious and charitable institutions
providing the goods are for their own use and not for resale. Besides
the State Use Industries, prisoners are employed in the public works
program of the State. Their earnings are credited to their respective
institutional accounts; they may make certain expenditures during
their incarceration, and the balance is payable to them upon release.

The Division of Classification and Education of the Department of
Correction supervises the collection and recording of all information
necessary to permit the proper classification of prisoners at each in-
stitution according to their abilities and to aid in their rehabilitation.
The Division also has educational functions.
