MARYLAND CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
FOR WOMEN—JESSUP
Harry J. Traurig, 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 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 July 1, 1967, all persons sentenced by the courts in the
State of Maryland are sentenced to the Division of Correction and
must be admitted to a Reception-Diagnostic Classification Center for
testing, evaluation, and assignment to one of the State's penal insti-
tutions. In accordance with this new law, the Division of Correction
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 com-
pletion 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.
