Maryland House of Correction
The Maryland House of Correction, nicknamed "The Cut" or "The House", was a Maryland Department of Corrections state maximum security prison in an unincorporated area in Maryland. The prison opened in 1879 and became infamous for the high levels of violence that took place inside its walls. The state, under Governor Martin O'Malley, closed the prison in March 2007.〔Helderman, Rosalind S. "(In Surprise Move, Md. Closes Jessup Prison, Transfers Inmates )." ''Washington Post''.

The prison was situated on south of Maryland Route 175 between U.S. 1 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Most of its territory was in Anne Arundel County, while portions were in Howard County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services )〕
==History==
The facility was built on land near the former Spurrier's Tavern and a hand-dug section of the B&O railroad called "Jessop's Cut". In 1897, the ''Baltimore Sun'' editor petitioned for prison workers to perform road labor to relieve pressure on the overcrowded facility. The nickname "The Cut" was often used during HBO's series ''The Wire''.
The Maryland House of Correction had a long history of harsh living conditions for inmates and dangerous conditions for correctional officers. Large prison riots occurred in 1945, 1964 and 1972.
The prison was replaced in 2003 by North Branch Correctional Institution, a supermax prison in Cumberland, Maryland, with far greater control features and security. Demolition of the former prison began in January 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notoriously violent Maryland House of Correction comes down )〕
