The Maryland Correctional Institution—Hagerstown, originally
established as the Maryland Institution for Males, is a medium secur-
ity institution activated by Chapter 619, Acts of 1945. replacing the
Maryland State Penal Farm established by Chapter 366, Acts of 1931,
at the same location. Between 1962 and 1964, it was known as the
Maryland Institution for Men. It adopted its present name on June I,
1964. It has a capacity of 600 inmates.
On November 22, 1966, the Maryland Correctional Training Center
authorized by Chapter 385, Acts of 1966, was dedicated. This facility
is located across the road from the Maryland Correctional Institution
—Hagerstown. It has a capacity for 1,026 inmates. This facility places
emphasis upon educational and vocational training. Those inmates
who are less amenable to treatment programs either remain in or
are transferred to the Maryland Correctional Institution—Hagerstown.
As a result of the enactment of Chapter 695, Acts of 1967, a Recep-
tion-Diagnostic Center was established in Baltimore, and youthful
offenders are received into the Maryland Correctional Institution—
Hagerstown and the Maryland Correctional Training Center by trans-
fer to serve both determinate and indeterminate sentences. In addi-
tion, offenders are received from the Maryland Penitentiary and the
Maryland House of Correction, regardless of age, when their transfer
is authorized by the Commissioner of Correction. The Commissioner
may direct the transfer of inmates from these institutions either to
the Maryland Penitentiary or to the House of Correction when their
behavior or other circumstances indicate that this action would be
advisable.
A Work Release Center has also been established in a separate
facility on the institutional grounds. This facility has a rated capacity
of fifty beds and houses those inmates on the Work Release Program
and several inmates who are part of the cadre.
The State Use Industries activities include a cannery, brush and
carton shop, metalworking department and a feed mixing mill.
