Maryland prison deemed unsafe; inmates and staff urgently transferred amid structural concerns.
Inmates and staff at Maryland’s Reception, Diagnostics, and Classification Center in Baltimore are being urgently transferred due to structural safety concerns identified by an independent engineering consultant.
The 1981 facility, holding 393 people, is deemed unsafe, prompting emergency moves: pretrial inmates to the Metropolitan Transition Center, female inmates to Jessup’s Maryland Correctional Institution for Women, male inmates with special needs to the Chesapeake Detention Facility, and others to Jessup Correctional Institution.
Staff are being relocated nearby per union agreements.
The transfer is not a permanent closure, and officials are assessing the building’s future with the engineering firm.
