MARYLAND (WBFF) — Carolyn Scruggs is out as secretary of Maryland’s Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, and David Greene, the agency’s deputy secretary of operations, will replace her “at least” in the interim, a source with knowledge of the change told The Baltimore Sun on Thursday.
The source said they did not know whether Scruggs had resigned or been asked to leave.
Scruggs’ departure comes as the department has faced scrutiny over conditions inside correctional facilities and reported a series of inmate deaths.
Seven people died in Maryland correctional facilities between Dec. 13, 2025, and Jan. 27, 2026, a roughly six-week period.
