Maryland's MCI-J prison is shutting down! Governor Moore announced the facility will close by June 2026, saving taxpayers $21 million annually. The savings will be reinvested in education and re-entry programs. The aging facility faces costly repairs, making closure the most fiscally responsible choice. Staff will be transferred, and incarcerated individuals will be relocated to other facilities in phases, starting with older individuals serving life sentences. The move aims to improve the entire correctional system by easing staff burdens and boosting morale.
