longstanding practice is to interpret the reference to "city" to mean
"Baltimore City", which is included as a "county" under § 1-101 of this
article. The Correctional Services Article Review Committee calls this
deletion to the attention of the General Assembly because the word "city"
arguably could refer to the various municipal corporations of the State.

Defined terms: "County" § 1-101
"Division" § 3-101
"Inmate" § 1-101

3-608. EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION.
(A) IN GENERAL.

TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY IN THE TREATMENT, MANAGEMENT, AND
REHABILITATION OF INMATES CONFINED IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES IN THE
DIVISION, THE DIVISION AND THE DIVISION OF PAROLE AND PROBATION SHALL
EXCHANGE RECORDS AND ANY OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT RELATES TO
AN INMATE.

(B) PROCEDURES AND METHODS.

THE DIVISION AND THE DIVISION OF PAROLE AND PROBATION SHALL
ESTABLISH THE PROCEDURES AND METHODS FOR THE EXCHANGE OF RECORDS AND
OTHER INFORMATION DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 701.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to correctional facilities "in"
the Division is substituted for the former reference to correctional facilities
"under the control of" the Division for consistency throughout this article.
See General Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to an "exchange" of case
records and other information is substituted for the former reference to a
"full and complete interchange" for brevity.

Defined terms: "Correctional facility" § 1-101
"Division" § 3-101
"Inmate" § 1-101

3-609. PERSONAL PROPERTY OF INMATE.

(A) PROPERTY IN POSSESSION OF DIVISION.

OF AN INMATE THAT COMES INTO THE POSSESSION OF THE DIVISION:

(I) AS THE RESULT OF AN ESCAPE BY THE INMATE; OR

(II) BECAUSE THE PERSONAL PROPERTY HAS BEEN UNCLAIMED BY
AN INMATE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO ITS POSSESSION.
