convicted of felonies or misdemeanors, who are sentenced to confine-
ment by a Court or a Justice of the Peace to any institution other
than a jail, are confined at the Reformatory. The Court decides
whether the sentence imposed shall be of a definite or an indeter-
minate length. Of the women now confined, approximately one half
are serving indeterminate sentences. The Reformatory offers educa-
tional and vocational training to its inmates. A sewing shop operates
as a State Use Industry, and the women have developed approxi-
mately ten acres of garden for the institutional table. The average
population for the fiscal year 1966 was 164 (Code 1951, Art. 27,
secs. 764-767).
