While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

In addition to earning a GED, inmates have access to vocational courses in trades such as electrical wiring, carpentry, engine and autobody repair, plumbing, masonry, and office technology.

A hallmark program at the facility is the correctional enterprises initiative, which enables inmates to gain practical work experience while contributing to society. Inmates involved in this program engage in the repair and remanufacturing of cartridges for laser printers, copiers, and fax machines. Additionally, they produce corrugated cartons and office work partitions, further enhancing their vocational skills and providing valuable products to the market.

By offering a comprehensive array of educational, vocational, and work-based programs, the Maryland Correctional Training Center equips inmates with the tools and resources necessary for successful reintegration into society upon release.

All visitors are subject to canine (if available), electronic drug detection device (if available), and/or visual mouth searches prior to being allowed to visit an inmate. If you cannot clear the metal detector, you will be denied entry. Nothing may be brought into the institution except as authorized by the warden or designee. Any item brought into this institution in a manner other than authorized is contraband, and the person bringing the item into the institution is subject to criminal penalties.
