Maryland’s Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services gives offenders an opportunity to learn technical and social skills through employment of Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE), which helps inmates become more employable upon release. Maryland Correctional Enterprises, in turn, offers products and services to state and local governments and non-profit organizations at competitive rates.
MCE is a self-sufficient state agency. From MCE’s website:
