of the County. All courts in the county are State courts.

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (f) of this section
could be clarified by stating that an inmate is not an agent or employee of
"the court".

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (g)(2) 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.
