Baltimore’s new $1 billion jail will be most expensive state-funded project in history

The proposed 854-bed facility will be a hybrid jail, hospital and mental health and substance use treatment facility for people facing criminal charges.

Nearly nine years after former Gov. Larry Hogan shuttered the old Baltimore City Detention Center, a new centerpiece facility for the city’s pretrial jail population is poised to rise from its ashes. But it’s going to cost you.

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, which has run the city’s jail system for decades, is pushing ahead with ambitious plans for the Baltimore Therapeutic Treatment Center — a sort of hybrid jail, hospital and mental health and substance use treatment facility for people facing criminal charges.

The cost of the $1 billion project is being spread across more than five years, with an estimated completion date in 2029. Once finished, the operating costs are expected to be more than $100 million per year.

The facility’s price tag is $443 million more than initial estimates by the corrections department. It’s being attributed to supply chain problems and inflation. A nonpartisan legislative analysis dubbed the plan “the most expensive state-run project in Maryland history.”

The state says it needs the new facility to comply with the 2016 settlement of a decades-old lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of health care in Baltimore jails. The lawsuit is ongoing, and the corrections department has yet to come into full compliance with any of the nine provisions of that agreement.

Law enforcement executed search warrants at Atlantic City mayor’s home

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A lawyer for Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said law enforcement officers visited the mayor’s home Thursday morning to execute search warrants, but would not reveal further information, including whether anyone was taken into custody.

Edwin Jacobs confirmed that officers went to Small’s home with search warrants, but would not say what — or who — they were for.

“Search warrants are incredibly easy to get, and law enforcement doesn’t afford a person the opportunity to give his or her side before they are issued,” Jacobs said. “Nobody should read anything into this.”

Small did not respond to a text message on his personal phone seeking comment.

It was not immediately clear which law enforcement agency or agencies visited the mayor’s home. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office did not respond to messages seeking comment. The FBI said it could not comment, and the state Attorney General’s Office also declined to comment.

Law enforcement officials arrive at AC Mayor's home

Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office officials were at the home of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small

The sources said members of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office were at Small’s home on Presbyterian Avenue though it remains unclear why they were there. An Atlantic County court representative also said they have no documents related to Mayor Small or his wife, Laquetta Small, who is also the superintendent of Atlantic City public schools.

Photos obtained by NBC10 show the road blocked off near the mayor’s home.

“They were just blocking this street,” a neighbor told NBC10. “My son had to go to work. He went that way. Somebody lives here. She couldn’t get in so she went straight around. So I didn’t know what’s going on.”

NBC10 reached out to the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office to find out why they were at the mayor’s home. They have not yet responded.

Mayor Small faced voter fraud charges more than a decade ago when he was a councilmember. Both Small and his co-defendants were acquitted in 2011.

NBC10 reached out to an attorney for Mayor Small. The attorney told NBC10 he has not seen the search warrants or discussed them with his client. He also did not answer a follow-up question asking him to clarify whether or not search warrants were executed at Small’s home.
