Women—Jessup was established in 1941 as the
Women's Prison of the State of Maryland (Chapter
; 71, Acts of 1941). It was renamed in 1945 as the
Maryland State Reformatory for Women (Chapter
520, Acts of 1945). In 1962, it became the Mary-
land Institution for Women. Its present name was
adopted in 1964.

: at the Institution receives all adult women who have
; been convicted of felonies and misdemeanors and
: sentenced to the jurisdiction of the State for terms
[ of six months to life. After classification at the
i Center, women inmates are transferred to a prison
to complete their sentences.
