Route 3, Hagerstown (Washington County)
Telephone: Regent 3-2800 (Hagerstown)

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 Penitentiary.
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 classi-
fying and examining inmates. Located on a 1,119-acre farm, the Re-
formatory 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.
