Default Md. Closes Jessup Prison

In Surprise Move, Md. Closes Jessup Prison, Transfers Inmates
Officials Kept Plans Secret to Prevent Violence

By Rosalind S. Helderman

Operating with extraordinary secrecy, Maryland corrections officials over the past several weeks transferred all 850 inmates out of the Maryland House of Correction in Jessup, effectively closing the notoriously violent 129-year-old maximum-security prison and ending its decades-long history of riots, fights, escapes and attacks on correctional officers.

I understand why this needed to be done in secrecy, but I think it is very, very sad for the families and close friends of the people who were in this prison to just look up one day and their family member has moved from Maryland to Kentucky, for example. And to top it off, to find out about it on the news! If there is anyone who is going through this, just be calm, level headed, and pray. Brighter days are ahead...
