DIVISION OF CORRECTION
James Jordan, Commissioner of Correction
Robert W. McColley, Deputy Commissioner of Correction
920 Greenmount Avenue, Baltimore 21202 Telephone: 383-4590
Prior to 1916, the Maryland Penitentiary and the Maryland House
of Correction were autonomous institutions operating under the juris-
diction of a separate Board of Directors and a Board of Managers
appointed by the Governor. By Chapter 666, Acts of 1916, these insti-
tutions were administered by the State Board of Prison Control. By
Chapter 29, Acts of 1922, the Board of Welfare superseded the Board
of Prison Control and administered the prisons. By Chapter 69, Acts
of 1939, the Department of Correction and the Board of Correction
assumed all rights, powers, and duties which had formerly been vested
in the Board of Welfare.
By Chapter 768, Acts of 1963, the Superintendent of Prisons became
the administrator of the Department. The Board of Correction estab-
lished departmental policies and appointed the executive personnel
of the institutions under the jurisdiction of the Department on the
recommendations made by the Superintendent of Prisons (Code 1967,
19*71 Repl. Vol., Art. 27, sees. 667, 669-71, 676, 677). The 1962 General
Assembly repealed Article 27, Sections 667-710, of the 1967 Code and
1961 Supplement and enacted new Sections 667 to 704, inclusive, to
revise and change the laws governing the administration of the De-
partment of Correction. Chapter 123 of the Acts of 1962 established
the Advisory Board and created the office of Commissioner of Correc-
tion. Chapter 137, Acts of 1968 repealed and re-enacted Sec. 667 of
Article 27, changing the name of the Department from the Depart-
ment of Correction to the Department of Correctional Services.
Chapter 401, Acts of 1970, effective July 1, 1970, incorporated all
of the State's correctional responsibilities under the Department of
Public Safety and Correctional Services. Thus, by virtue of this Act,
the Department of Correctional Services was retitled and reestablished
as the Division of Correction and continued as the same department
in its capacity of exercising central administrative control over the
adult correctional facilities in Maryland as provided in Art. 27, Sec-
tions 667-726, subject to the authority of the Secretary of Public
Safety and Correctional Services. The same act also abolished the
Advisory Board of the Department of Correction, the Advisory Board
of the Division of Parole and Probation, and the Advisory Council
for Correctional Services (Code 1967, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sees.
204D and 204E).
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 401, Acts of 1970, the
Commissioner of Correction is appointed by the Secretary of Public
