Box 3333 Route #3, Hagerstown (Washington County) 21740 Telephone: 733-2800 The Maryland Correctional Institution—Hagerstown, originally established as the Maryland Institution for Males, is a medium secur- ity institution activated by Chapter 519, 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 and woodworking shops. The two institu- tions operate under the same budget.
