The Division of Correction operates seven mini-
mum security pre-release units that provide work
and other rehabilitative opportunities for men,
and one that provides the same services for wom-
en. These facilities house mainly inmates who are
participating in the Work Release Program.
Before assignment to one of the pre-release units,
inmates are carefully screened at the Reception
Center or at the institutions to which they are as-
signed.

The minimum security pre-release units were
originally established as work camps in 1955, and
subsequently were known as correctional camps
(Code 1957, Art. 27, sec. 689f). They were
renamed pre-release units in September 1978. The
Central Laundry Facility was established in 1960
to serve the laundry needs of institutions under
the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene. The Sandy Point Correctional
Camp was relocated in Jessup and its name
changed to the Maryland Correctional Camp
Center by Chapter 385, Acts of 1966. Effective Ju-
ly 1978, the two Pre-Release Units established
under the Community Adult Rehabilitation Cen-
ters (CARC) legislation—the Community Correc-
tions Center for Women in Baltimore and the
CARC Center on Greenmount Avenue in Balti-
more City—were placed under the jurisdiction of
the new correctional pre-release system (Code
1957, Art. 27, sees. 706-710E).

In 1979, the camp known as the Maryland Cor-
rectional Camp Center was converted to a medi-
um security facility. This facility, now the Brock-
bridge Correctional Facility, however, continues
to be operated by the Maryland Correctional Pro-
Release System.

The Baltimore City Correctional Center opened
in July, 1984, as part of the Pre-Release System.
With a capacity for 250 inmates, the Center is lo-
cated at 901 Greenmount Avenue.

The State Use Industries Advisory Committee
was created within the Division of Correction in
1981 (Chapter 661, Acts of 1981). The Committee
is responsible for recommending the establishment
and maintenance of industrial plants and service
centers within the Division of Correction. These
plants and centers are used to implement State
Use Industries programs developed by the Com-
missioner of Correction and the general manager
of State Use Industries. Operated primarily with
inmates, the sites are run in a manner beneficial to
the State, and they provide training for inmates.

State Use Industries provides services and pro-
duces goods needed and used by 1) State institu-
tions or agencies; 2) political subdivisions of the
State; 3) any federal institution or agency; 4) any
institution, agency, or political subdivision of an-
other state; and 5) any charitable, civic, educa-
tional, fraternal, or religious association, institu-
tion, or agency for its own use and not for resale
to others within one year of purchase.

The Advisory Committee consists of eleven ex
officio members and four representatives of pri-
vate industry appointed by the Governor for
three-year terms. The General Manager of State
Use Industries serves as executive secretary (Code
1957, Art. 27, sec. 681 A).
