is located" is deleted as implicit in the requirement that the grand jury be
charged to "inquire into the operation and management of each State
correctional facility located in the county".

Also in the introductory language of this section, the reference to
"calendar" year is deleted as implicit in the normal meaning of year.

In item (2) of this section, the reference to offenses or omissions of an
"individual" is substituted for the former reference to offenses or omissions
of a "person" because only a human being, and not the other entities
included in the defined term "person", can be "in" a correctional facility.
See § 1-101 of this article for the definition of "person". Also the reference
to offenses or omissions "that relate to" a correctional facility is broad
enough to cover offenses by all of the entities that are included in the
defined term "person".

Defined terms: "County" § 1-101

"State correctional facility" § 1-101

9-608. VISITATION OF LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES BY GRAND JURIES.
AT LEAST ONCE EACH YEAR, THE GRAND JURY IN EACH COUNTY SHALL:

(1) VISIT EACH LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY IN THE COUNTY;

(2) INQUIRE INTO THE CONDITION OF THE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY,
THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS MAINTAINED, AND THE TREATMENT OF INMATES; AND

(3) REPORT ITS FINDINGS TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE COUNTY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 703 1/2.

In item (1) of this section, the defined term "local correctional facility" is
substituted for the former reference to "jail" for consistency throughout
this article.

In item (3) of this section, the reference to "circuit" court is added to state
expressly that which was only implied in the former reference to "court".
