Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the removal of an
inmate to a "facility" in the State is substituted for the former reference to
the removal of an inmate to "any place" in the State to state expressly that
which was only implied in the former law.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "a place where
adequate treatment for the illness of the prisoner may be obtained" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to "subsection (a) of this
section".
In subsection (c) of this section, the former reference to an inmate's escape
"from custody" is deleted as implicit in the reference to "escape".
In subsections (c)(1) and (g) of this section, the references to "correctional
officers" are substituted for the former references to "guards" for
consistency throughout this article.
In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the requirement that an inmate be
returned to "a correctional facility in" the Division of Correction is
substituted for the former requirement that an inmate be returned to "the
jurisdiction of" the Division of Correction for clarity.
In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the reference to a "term" of confinement
is substituted for the former reference to a "period" of confinement for
consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this
article.
In subsection (e) of this section, the reference to an inmate who "is" guilty
of escape is substituted for the former reference to an inmate who is
"deemed" guilty of escape to state expressly that which was only implied in
the former law.
The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (e) of this section is
one of many provisions in this article that relates to inmates who escape
while legitimately outside the confines of a correctional facility (e.g., while
on work release, home detention, pretrial release, weekend leave,
compassionate leave, family leave, etc.). For a discussion of the
Committee's perspective on these provisions, see § 3-305(c) of this article
and accompanying Revisor's Note.
In subsection (f) of this section, the former reference to a temporary
removal that "has been authorized" is deleted as implicit in the reference
to a temporary removal "under this section".
In subsection (g) of this section, the reference to a "removal" is substituted
for the former reference to a "release" for consistency within this section.
Also in subsection (g) of this section, the former reference to "rules" and
regulations is deleted for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.
