I think every county jail is like that. I used to volunteer for an emergency shelter in strafford county, one night it was like 10 degrees out, and this chick showed up in a t-shirt and flip flops. She had been arrested/sentenced during the summer, and released in January. They didn't even give her a ride to the shelter, just pushed her out the door and said good luck.

I think Merrimack County gives people taxi vouchers and they call a cab. They did in 2018

Considering strafford county doc is out in the middle of nowhere, a cab voucher program would be awesome. I do know that there's a public transit stop near the doc, but I don't know if they give out vouchers for it. The year that this happened, coast was giving free rides to the shelter, but they don't do that anymore.
