The Maryland Correctional Institution - Jessup is a medium security state prison for men located in Jessup, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It opened in 1981, first as an Annex to the state House of Correction and then as a separate facility, and holds a maximum of 1068 male inmates at medium security. [1]

The facility is immediately across the street from Jessup Correctional Institution (JCI) and Dorsey Run Correctional Facility (DRCF)

On September 29, 2025, Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced plans to close the prison, saying that the facility would need $200 million in renovations to bring it up to standards and that its closure would save the state $21 million a year in operational costs. [2]
