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.
The Patuxent Institution, situated in Jessup, Maryland, is a treatment-oriented maximum-security correctional facility located one mile east of U.S. Route 1 on Maryland Route 175. It operates independently of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, governed by Maryland Public General Law, Title 4 of the Correctional Services Article. Established in 1951 under Article 31B, it offers diverse services to a varied male and female offender population, with a maximum static capacity of 987 beds.
Patuxent Institution, established in 1955, was designed to house Maryland's most dangerous criminal offenders, focusing on psychotherapeutic treatment for persistent antisocial behavior. It operated independently with its own admission, review, and parole authority. In 1977, a commission restructured laws governing Patuxent, abolishing indeterminate sentencing and introducing the EP Program for designated offenders.
Further changes occurred in response to legal mandates, including the establishment of the Correctional Mental Health Center—Jessup in 1992 to cater to inmates with serious mental illness. In 1994, Patuxent shifted its treatment approach to target youthful offenders with remediation programs, focusing on specific deficits rather than overall rehabilitation.
New initiatives included the implementation of Remediation Management Teams and specialized treatment modules like Social Skills and Relapse Prevention. The Regimented Offender Treatment Center, launched in 1994, provided substance abuse treatment to inmates preparing for release.
In 2000, the Mental Health Transition Unit and Step-Down Mental Health Unit were established to support inmates with mental health histories transitioning to the community or returning to general population respectively. Additionally, a Substance Abuse Transition Program was introduced in 2004 to address relapse prevention and transitional planning for parole violators with substance abuse issues.
