Calling it “a symbol of state failure to do its job,” Gov. Martin O?Malley Friday announced plans to rebuild a Baltimore County juvenile detention center as part of a $200 million overhaul of the state?s chronically troubled facilities for young offenders.

O?Malley?s plan includes four new centers, including a $32 million facility on the Parkville grounds of the Charles H. Hickey Jr. School, which was partly closed under Gov. Robert Ehrlich?s administration. There, offenders routinely escape through doors that don?t lock, pipes burst regularly, and buildings that were rendered useless years ago fall into further disrepair, officials said.
