Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said he plans to immediately close a Baltimore jail where corruption was so bad just two years ago that inmates were said to run the facility.
“This facility is done. We will not be using it again,” Mr. Hogan said Thursday at a press conference held outside the Baltimore City Detention Center.
The 156-year-old jail houses hundreds of inmates awaiting trial or serving short sentences and the governor said those individuals would be transferred shortly to other area facilities. He declined to say exactly where or when the inmates would be moved for security reasons.

Please, not ECI.
4:36-Heavens no,not ECI.
Just send them to ECI. It only houses 5 times the number of inmates it was designed and built for. Just add another cot to each cell.
No please not ECI,because then their families will move to Somerset County and the last thing the county needs is more Baltimore transplants sucking up resources and straining our school systems.
