This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at MD DOC – Maryland Correctional Training Center (MCTC) located at 18800 Roxbury Road in Hagerstown, MD are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released.
