Fitzberger, Superintendent Route #3, Hagerstown (Washington County) 21741 Telephone: 733-2800 The Maryland Correctional Institution—Hagerstown, originally established as the Maryland Institution for Males, is a medium security institution activated by Chapter 519, Acts of 1945, replacing the Mary- land State Penal Farm established by Chapter 366, Acts of 1931, at the same location.

The institution operates a Pre-Release Center to provide guidance to the youth in returning to the community. This facility has a rated capacity of fifty beds and is located away from the immediate area of the institution proper. Situated on 1,119 acres of farm land, the Correctional Institution— Hagerstown conducts farming and dairying operations, with both of these projects providing supplies for this and other State institutions.
