104 MARYLAND MANUAL The Maryland Correctional Institution for Women—Jessup was originally established by Chapter 71, Acts of 1941, as the Women's Prison of the State of Maryland. By Chapter 620, Acts of 1946, it received the name of the Maryland State Reformatory for Women. On July 1, 1962, its name was changed to Maryland Institution for Women. It adopted its present name on July 1, 1964. Prior to the erection of this institution, female prisoners were lodged in a section of the Maryland House of Correction; and prior to the opening of the House of Correction in 1879, they had been housed in quarters reserved for them at the Maryland Penitentiary. Adult females who have been convicted of felonies or misdemeanors, and have been sentenced to confinement in a correctional institution other than a jail, are committed to the Maryland Correctional Institu- tion for Women—Jessup. At the present time, more than three-quarters of the inmates are serving indeterminate sentences, and the remainder have definite sentences. Agricultural products, derived from the cultivation (by inmates) of approximately ten acres of land, are used by the institution. A sewing shop is conducted as a State Use Industries activity. The average population for fiscal year 1965 was 176. Appropriations 1965 1966 General Funds . $474,324 $506,948 Special Funds 8,490 14,000 Totals $484,630 $520,948 Staff: 77 (General Funds Budget).
