County plans add CARC style work release unit to jail complex
Frederick County planning commission moved to fund a 40 bed work release unit adjacent to the planned jail, effectively reviving a CARC project by another name. The original CARC was dropped when state funding ended and Ballenger Creek jail costs rose to 5.7 million for the 106 bed facility. The new unit costs 750 thousand and shifts the concept without the prior statewide funding.
