Maryland Correctional Institution for Women (MCI-W) is a multi-level security prison operated by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services in Jessup, Maryland.
Diane Sawyer visited the prison for a special on women behind bars. Women at the prison stitch flags for Maryland government agencies. Women helped write plays that were eventually performed outside of prison. Yoga classes have been taught at the prison.
Goucher College offers courses to inmates at MCI-W.
In 2013, a Department of Justice report found higher-than-average rates of guard on inmate sexual abuse.
