Federal Correctional Institution, Cumberland

Federal Correctional Institution Cumberland is a medium-security facility with an additional minimum-security satellite camp. The institution houses over 1,100 male incarcerated individuals across its different security levels.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons established this facility in 1994 to meet growing needs in the federal prison system serving Maryland and the surrounding region. The institution was designed to operate as a modern correctional facility with defined security standards.

The facility runs a dog training program where incarcerated individuals work with dogs to prepare them for service roles. This work allows participants to develop new skills while supporting a practical community need.

Contact with incarcerated individuals follows strict protocols that require correspondence to include inmate registration numbers. All written communication must follow specific addressing guidelines to be properly processed and delivered.

The facility operates a license plate manufacturing center where incarcerated individuals produce registration plates for federal government vehicles across multiple jurisdictions. This specialized production remains one of the facility's main operational activities.
