The request funds 39 new jobs focused on rehabilitation including four full time chaplains and two psychologists, plus staff for a new hospital. Inmates projected at roughly 5,200 across five institutions, with detailed budget figures for Patuxent, House of Correction, Penitentiary, and reformatories.
