MARYLAND CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
FOR WOMEN—JESSUP
James Jordan, Superintendent
Jessup (Anne Arundel County) 20794 Telephone: 799-2900
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 520, Acts of 1945, 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.
Effective June 1, 1967, all persons sentenced by the courts in the
State of Maryland are sentenced to the Department of Correction
and must be admitted to a Reception-Diagnostic Classification Center
for testing, evaluation, and assignment to one of the State's penal
institutions. In accordance with this new law, the Department of
Correction has established a Rereption-Diagnostic Classification Cen-
ter at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women—Jessup. This
Center will receive all adult females serving sentences ranging from
three months through life imprisonment, who have been convicted of
felonies and misdemeanors, and who are not sent to local jails. Upon
the completion of these classification procedures in the Center, female
inmates will be transferred to the Maryland Correctional Institution
proper to complete their sentences. At this time both the Reception
Center for Women and the Maryland Correctional Institution for
Women are located on the same campus.
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 the fiscal year 1967 was 170.
