Isolation cells to be built at jail 2NS
Frederick County Commissioners approved emergency construction to create isolation cells at the Adult Detention Center to combat a new drug resistant tuberculosis strain. Barry Stanton warned guards face airborne risk while Dr. Steven Pickett cited liability if inmates leave with TB. Existing J Block cells will be converted with separate HVAC to ventilate via outside air. The short term fix precedes a 112 bed medical center addition planned for 1996 at an estimated cost of 70000 dollars.
