REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 616S(b).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to a correctional "facility
in" the Division of Correction is substituted for the former reference to a
correctional "institution under the jurisdiction of" the Division of
Correction for consistency with terminology throughout this article. See
General Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to an inmate's term of
"confinement" is substituted for the former reference to an inmate's term of
"commitment" for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (a)(2) of this
section refers only to those inmates who are authorized under Title 4,

are in the Patuxent Institution Youth Program, as authorized under Title
4, Subtitle 4 of this article, or to inmates of the Division of Correction who
are confined in the Patuxent Institution, as authorized under § 2-117 of
this article. The General Assembly may wish to amend this provision to
refer to "any inmate who is confined in the Patuxent Institution". This
language is broad enough to include all inmates at the Patuxent
Institution, including those inmates who are there for evaluation before
sentencing.

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the reference
to the managing official who has "immediate supervision over" an inmate
is substituted for the former reference to the managing official who has
"custody of" an inmate for accuracy. Inmates of a correctional facility are
sometimes held in the custody of someone other than the managing official
of the correctional facility but are nevertheless under the immediate
supervision of the managing official. See generally § 9-103 of this article
(which requires a judge who sentences an inmate to the jurisdiction of the
