ORIGIN & FUNCTIONS

The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services was created in 1970 (Chapter 401, Acts
of 1970). Today, the Department has statewide responsibility to prevent crime, maintain law and order,
and supervise and rehabilitate adjudicated individuals who pose a threat to the public. In Maryland, these
functions initially derived from British precedent and common law, but evolved to fit local needs.

The Maryland Charter of 1632 made the administration of justice, including the granting of pardons,
the privilege and duty of the Proprietor, who usually delegated that authority to the Governor. Under the
Lords Baltimore, little criminal law was codified as the Proprietor and Assembly debated over whose
prerogative such lawmaking was. In the absence of statutes, local courts defined crimes and punishments.
Maryland's largest deviation from British precedent was in the low number of crimes for which death was
the penalty. In a labor-scarce economy, executing persons for petty pilfering or other minor crimes did not
make sense. British law was bloodthirsty, with hanging the response to a wide range of crimes, from
sheep-stealing to adultery. For crimes against property, Maryland and most colonies gradually replaced
capital punishment with corporal punishment. Restitution also was required, and a person without
resources could be sold for a term of indentured servitude to cover the cost of restitution. Those charged
with murder or other crimes against persons faced the death penalty as did those charged with treason or
sedition. Retribution was swift in colonial Maryland; a convicted person was either hanged or subjected
