MARYLAND STATE REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN
Alice M. Blum, Superintendent
Jessups (Anne Arundel County) Telephone: Elkridge 1190

The Maryland State Reformatory for Women, established in 1941
as the Women's Prison, received its present name in 1945. All women
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 approximately
ten acres of garden for the institutional table. The average population
for the fiscal year 1968 was 195 (Code 1957, Art. 27, sees. 676-77).
