The State of Maryland has a contract with the federal government to house Federal pre-trial detainees at MCAC. However, Federal Detainees are not subjected to the Supermax conditions that the State Inmates are. Federal Detainees recreate together both inside and outside everyday of the week, eat together, and have access to phones. MCAC also houses Maryland's death row Inmates (currently 6). Death row Inmates are not subjected to Supermax conditions either. They recreate together both inside and outside everyday, eat together, and have access to phones. MCAC does not execute Inmates at their facility. Executions take place across the street at the former Maryland Penitentiary now known as the Metropolitan Transition Center (MTC). All visits to Inmates/Detainees are non-contact. Inmates/Detainees and visitors and separated by a glass window and communicate by use of a phone. Visits are thirty minutes long. As with most Prisons in Maryland MCAC is headed by a Warden, Assistant Warden, and a Chief of Security. Rules and regulations of the Division of Correction and MCAC are enforced by uniformed Correctional Officers. Uniformed Correctional Officers consist of Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants, Corporals, and Officers (in descending order of rank). |
