A website run by the Baltimore County police department says so. However, they cited no study, nor have I found one to back their assertion.
Nor do they distinguish between whether it is the nation's statistic, or just Balitmore's.
A U.S. Department of Justice report said that 10 to 76 percent of males in various stages of corrections reported physical or sexual abuse - so clearly Baltimore's figure given is questionable.
It may have to do with the fact that the figure is on their anti-child abuse page. Maybe it is a scare number, to encourage parents not to raise future felons. Whatever the reasons they have, it is not a number to be blindly accepted.
The top result on Google claims 84% of prison inmates were abused as children, but I couldn't find any reliable data to back it up.
A US Department of Justice report found that 50% of female inmates and 10% of male inmates were abused sometime prior to their incarceration (it doesn't specify whether it's "as children", it just says "before incarceration").

Early research on the subject was done on inmates in prison who had been abused as children and this led to faulty conclusions.?
Early research on a subject that focused solely on inmates who were abused as children may have led to biased and limited conclusions. It's important in research to have diverse and representative samples to avoid generalizing findings to broader populations. Additionally, the prison environment itself can also influence results, so caution is needed when applying research findings to other contexts.
