MARYLAND CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
FOR WOMEN.JESSUP
James Jordan, Superintendent
Jessup (Anne Arundel County) 20794 Telephone: 799-0100
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.
Effective July 1, 1967, all persons sentenced by the courts in the
State of Maryland are sentenced to the Department of Correctional
Services and must be admitted to a Reception-Diagnostic Classifica-
tion Center for testing, evaluation, and assignment to one of the
State's penal institutions. In accordance with this new law, the Depart-
ment 'of Correctional Services has established a Reception-Diagnostic
Classification Center 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 proce-
dures in the Center, female inmates will be transferred to the Mary-
land 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.
