Space needed for delinquent youths at Maryland Training School
Elbert Fletcher, superintendent, told the Senate Finance Committee the Maryland Training School for Boys is overcrowded with 187 in the junior unit and 251 in the senior unit. He urged immediate construction of a new 200 bed facility to handle the most dangerous youths as crowding worsens and incidents rise. The 1965 budget designates funds only for a new gymnasium and offices, with no expansion for housing capacity.
