THEODORE R. MCKELDIN, GOVERNOR 1749

conferred upon the [Board of Correction] Superintendent
of Prisons by this section shall authorize the said [Board]
Superintendent of Prisons to transfer any person confined
in any of said institutions to any other of said institu-
tions at any time the said [Board] Superintendent of
Prisons may, in its discretion, determine that such transfer
will improve discipline or aid in the safekeeping, treat-
ment, training, employment or rehabilitation of such
person.

(b) It is expressly provided, however, that nothing in
this section shall be construed to add to, alter or change
the class of crimes, as they existed before June 1, 1943,
with respect to the right of challenge or with respect to
the fees in criminal cases, or to make any crime infamous,
by reason of any sentence to the Maryland Penitentiary,
or transfer thereto, which would not have been an in-
famous crime before June 1, 1943; and it is further pro-
vided that nothing in this section shall be construed to
prevent any Court from committing any minor to any
industrial school or juvenile reformatory to which minors
may now be committed under existing law, or from com-
mitting any female offenders to the Maryland State Re-
formatory for Women, as authorized by Section 764.

795. Promptly after the admission of any person to
any of the State penal institutions subject to the control
of the Board of Correction, it shall be the duty of the
Warden or Superintendent of said institution, under such
regulations as shall be established by the Board of Cor-
rection, to assemble the necessary information and prepare
an adequate case record of each inmate which shall include
a description of the offender, his family history, previous
record, a summary of the facts of the case for which he is
serving sentence and the results of his physical, mental
and educational examination, which shall be conducted as
soon after admission to the institution as feasible. From
the information so assembled, each inmate shall be classi-
fied and assigned to such available treatment, training or
employment as may be deemed appropriate, and to this
end, the [Board of Correction] Superintendent of Prisons,
shall exercise liberally the powers of transfer conferred
by the preceding section of this Article, it being intended
that each prisoner sentenced to any of the penal institu-
tions subject to the control of the Board of Correction
shall be assigned or transferred, as expeditiously as
possible, to such treatment, training and employment as
will, in the judgment of said [Board] Superintendent of
Prisons improve discipline or aid in the safekeeping, treat-
