​Programs For ​Inmates

Inmates at Brockbridge Correctional Facility can earn a GED, and take classes in reading, writing, and math.  This facility is also part of Maryland's Pre-Release system, and offers classes for interview skills, resume writing, and computer courses.

Most of the offenders will return to communities in Maryland. The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS) provides education, health, and training programs to help ensure offenders can become positively contributing members to the communities they return to.

The flagship restorative justice program, Public Safety Works, provides employment skills as well as an opportunity for offenders to give back to the community they have harmedㄧa powerful and significant tool of rehabilitation.

DPSCS partners with other government agencies, community groups, and nonprofits to help them accomplish jobs that might otherwise not get done due to limited resources and funding. Projects range from community revitalization efforts to projects that are improving the sustainability of Maryland’s natural resources.

PSW is also a bridge to meaningful employment for this population, helping develop basic everyday skills needed to be an effective employees such as learning to respect a supervisor and working as a team. Praise for PSW has come from citizens, elected officials, partner agencies, and the offenders who get a chance to do something positive for society prior to their return.

DPSCS also works with animals in its restorative justice efforts, bringing dogs training service dogs for veterans and non-veterans alike, as well as training rowdy animals in preparation for adoption. The Second Chances Horse Farm is one of just nine such farms in the country where inmates learn to care for retired thoroughbred horses.

When it comes to rehabilitation, other DPSCS priorities include drug treatmentㄧthey launched the first ever correctional methadone maintenance program in the countryㄧand education. The collaboration with Goucher College allows inmates to earn fully transferable college credits at the Maryland-based liberal arts school.
