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.

The Courts commit male offenders from 16 to 25 to the Reformatory
for indeterminate sentences. Although the Reformatory is primarily
for youthful offenders, the Board of Correction may transfer to it
prisoners of any age from the House of Correction or the Penitenti-
ary. The Board may also transfer incorrigible and unmanageable
inmates of the Reformatory to other institutions.

The Reformatory gives regular instruction in basic education as
well as in the vocational and industrial arts. A psychologist aids in
classifying and examining inmates. Located on an 875 acre farm,
the Reformatory maintains a dairy cattle herd which supplies dairy
products to this and other State institutions. A cannery, metal shop,
brush shop, sewing shop, and bookbindery also operate as State Use
Industries. Other inmates work on Public Works projects. The
average population of the Reformatory for the fiscal year 1956 was
936 (Code 1951, Art. 27, secs. 760-763).
