Answer preview

In Maryland, there are different prison levels, and each holds different types of prisoners. The first one is Maryland Correctional Institution for Women (MCIW), the state’s primary facility for women. The institution has maximum, medium, minimum, and pre-lease housing. The MCIW is a prison level specifically for women, and it offers primary education, college programs, library services, and vocational programs (Maryland Criminal Justice System, prisons, n.d.). The second one is Maryland Penitentiary (M.P.), the only maximum-security prison for men in the state. The MP offers adult primary education, adult secondary education (GED), and a four-year college program.
