The purpose of this subtitle is to establish a Maryland
Correctional Enterprises organization in the Division that:
    (1)   is financially self-supporting, generates revenue for its operations
and capital investments, and reimburses the Division at a reasonable
rate for services exchanged between the Division and Maryland
Correctional Enterprises;
    (2)   provides meaningful work experiences for inmates that are intended to
allow inmates to improve work habits, attitudes, and skills for the
purpose of improving the employability of the inmates on release;
    (3)   seeks to develop industries that provide full-time work experience or
rehabilitation programs for all eligible inmates;
    (4)   operates correctional industries in an environment that resembles as
closely as possible the environment of private sector business
operations; and
    (5)   makes the Division responsible for and accountable to the Secretary and
the Governor for the Maryland Correctional Enterprises program.
