THE INDIVIDUAL'S TERM OF CONFINEMENT UNDER TITLE 3, SUBTITLE 7 OF THIS
ARTICLE AS MAY BE DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION IN EACH

CASE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 27, § 616R.

The reference to "[a]n individual" who. is delivered into custody is
substituted for the former reference to "[a] person" who is delivered into
custody because only a human being, and not the other entities included in
the defined term "person", can be held in custody. See § 1-101 of this
article for the definition of "person".

The reference to an individual's "term" of confinement is substituted for
the former reference to an individual's "period" of confinement for
consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this
article.

A gender neutral term is substituted for the former pronoun "his" because
SG § 2-1238 requires the use of words that are "neutral as to gender".

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Commissioner of Correction" § 1-101
"State" § 1-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

In revising the various articles of the Annotated Code, it was the usual practice
of the former Commission to Revise the Annotated Code and article review
committees to make very few, if any, changes to interstate Agreements. The
Correctional Services Article Review Committee has made only minor technical and
stylistic changes to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, which comprises §§ 8-402
through 8-411 of this subtitle. These changes include conforming cross-references to
other sections within the Agreement, making other minor changes to conform with
current drafting conventions, and deleting pronouns and other words that are not
neutral as to gender. These changes do not affect the substance of the Agreement.

SUBTITLE 5. INTRASTATE DETAINERS.
8-501. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; POLICY; PURPOSE.
(A) LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.

OUTSTANDING CHARGES AGAINST AN INMATE AND DETAINERS BASED ON
UNTRIED INDICTMENTS, INFORMATIONS, WARRANTS, OR COMPLAINTS PRODUCE
UNCERTAINTIES THAT:

(1) OBSTRUCT PROGRAMS OF INMATE TREATMENT AND
REHABILITATION; AND

(2) CAUSE AN INMATE SERVING A TERM UNDER A DETAINER TO SUFFER
SERIOUS DISADVANTAGES.
