In case ARPAIO goes to prison, "tent city" should be open for that one special prisoner. (Yeah, DRUMPF will pardon him.)

[font size=5]Arizonas (ARPAIOs) infamous open-air prison is shutting down[/font]
Tent City, the infamous open-air desert jail founded by former Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio where inmates were forced to wear pink uniforms and eat nasty food, is coming down.
Newly minted Democratic Sheriff Paul Penzone, who defeated Arpaio by a big margin in November, announced the facility would be dismantled in a Tuesday news conference, KPNX TV reported.
The circus ends and its coming down today, Penzone said.
The Arpaio-founded jail acquired an infamous reputation for holding inmates, many of whom were detained under his hardline immigration enforcement policies, outdoors in sweltering Arizona summer temperatures that often topped 110 degrees. ....
Arpaio a huge Donald Trump supporter could face as much as six months in jail for ignoring a federal judges order in a racial-profiling case. ....

(11,068 posts)Penzone is more just anti Arpaio. Not that that's bad, mind you, but he's mostly been about challenging Arpaio for a few years. He's run as a Dem and Rep both.
