chrooting Squid is pretty simple. See the chroot directive in
squid.conf. But may take a bit of effort to get helpers running properly
depending on which helpers you are using.

3.0.STABLE1 has several known security issues plus countless general
stability issues... I would not be confident running 3.0.STABLE1 in
production use today.
See http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/ for the major issues on why
you may want to upgrade...
