In subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section, the references to an
"administrator" are substituted for the former references to a
"superintendent" to reflect the current nomenclature in the Division.

In subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the references to "correctional
facility" and "correctional facilities" are substituted for the former
references to an "institution" and "penal and/or reformatory institutions",
respectively, for consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's
Note to this article.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the "Division" is
substituted for the former reference to the "Department" to conform to §
3-201 of this subtitle, which establishes a "Division". The former
"Department of Correctional Services" was reorganized as the "Division of
Correction" in 1970. See General Revisor's Note to this subtitle.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to the
appointment of a warden or administrator "for an indefinite term" is
deleted as surplusage. A term that is not fixed is necessarily indefinite.
Furthermore, appointment "for an indefinite term" is implicit in the
reference to serving "at the pleasure of the Commissioner".

Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 3-101
"Correctional facility" § 1-101
"Division" § 3-101

3-211. SAME — POWERS AND DUTIES.

(3) ENFORCE THE REGULATIONS AND DIRECTIVES OF THE DIVISION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 682(b) and, as it related to the duty of the
warden and administrator, to administer punishment, § 692.

In subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the references to an
"administrator" are substituted for the former references to a
"superintendent" to reflect current nomenclature in the Division.
