 “Too old and dangerous” could easily be used to describe an inmate. But in our feature news story this month, the words were used to characterize the 129-year-old Maryland House of Correction, which was closed down last month.

What’s it like to move 850 inmates and transfer 438 employees to other departments? Read about it in our Editor’s Pick. Follow up with Gary Maynard as he answers our readers’ questions in our new feature, Ask the Expert.
Information is now available for the upcoming CMI-CJA conference in Williamsburg on November 10-14, 2007. Contact Eli Gage.

Have a look at the May/June 2007 issue of Correctional News:
FACILITY OF THE MONTH

Planners for an expansion at the Gwinnett County Detention Center in Lawrenceville, Ga. Attempted to break that mold.
