(a) The correctional and reformatory institutions under the
Department of Correction are:
(b) The Maryland Penitentiary.
(c) The Maryland House of Correction.
(d) The Maryland Correctional Institution -- Hagerstown,
which is a place of confinement and training for male offenders
from sixteen (16) to twenty-five (25) years of age, both
inclusive. In those cases in which the judge of the Circuit
Court for Baltimore City, who is assigned to exercise
jurisdiction in juvenile causes, may waive jurisdiction and order
a minor under the age of sixteen, and the judge of any circuit
court in any county exercising jurisdiction in juvenile causes,
may waive jurisdiction and order a minor under the age of
eighteen, to be held for action under the regular procedure that
would follow if such act or acts had been committed by an adult,
then and in that event the judge presiding in the circuit court
of any county upon assuming jurisdiction in such case and upon
conviction may commit the minor to the Maryland Correctional
Institution -- Hagerstown regardless of age. The courts of this
State, instead of imposing sentences of fixed duration upon male
offenders included within this subsection may sentence them to
the Maryland Correctional Institution -- Hagerstown for an
indeterminate period of time which may not exceed the maximum
term of imprisonment provided by statute for the offenses of
which said person was convicted; and in the event no penalty is
prescribed by statute for said offenses then the court shall
prescribe the maximum term of imprisonment; but nothing in this
sentence applies to any case in which the sentence is life
imprisonment or to the service of time for nonpayment of a fine.
(d-1) The Maryland Correctional Training Center
Hagerstown.
(e) The Maryland Correctional Institution for Women
Jessup, which is the place of confinement and training for all
female offenders who are sentenced to imprisonment in any
institution other than a jail, for an offense for which the
maximum penalty exceeds three (3) months.
Any female offender who may be sentenced to death shall be
detained in proper segregation and under adequate control in the
Maryland Correctional Institution for Women -- Jessup until not
less than twenty-four hours prior to the time fixed by the
Governor for the execution of such offender, at which time the
offender shall be transferred, by authority of the Department of
Correction, to the death house in the Maryland Penitentiary for
such execution, to be performed under the direct supervision of
the warden of the Maryland Penitentiary in accordance with the
provisions of §§ 71 to 79, both inclusive, of this article, and
