On October 1^st, 2023, the State of Maryland passed Senate Bill 293, Chapter 721, changing the term “inmate” to “incarcerated individual”. Reframing Correction and Rehabilitation is crucial for creating a more humane and effective criminal justice system. Montgomery County Government has taken the step to transition from utilizing the term “inmate” to the use of "incarcerated individual” or I/I. Incarcerated individual (I/I) emphasizes the personhood of the individual rather than defining them solely by their incarceration. It is considered more respectful and less dehumanizing. This shift in language reflects a broader effort to prioritize human dignity within the criminal justice system and to avoid perpetuating stigma against those who have been convicted of crimes.
