Montgomery County Correctional Facility | Montgomery County Detention Center | Pre-Release and Reentry Services
On October 1st, 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. Please bear with us as we take steps to update our website.
