FOX: Tent City, the jail facility set up in Arizona by controversial Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, will soon be no more.
“This facility became more of a circus atmosphere for the general public. Starting today, the circus ends, and the tents come down,” the new sheriff, Paul Penzone, said in a news conference Tuesday.
The closing will end a significant piece of former Sheriff Arpaio’s legacy, who opened the complex in 1993 to ease overcrowding in jails. Arpaio held the office for six terms before Penzone beat him last November.
When the facility first opened, Arpaio said the jail would have strict guidelines, including banning items such as cigarettes, having prisoners wear striped uniforms and living in tents. read more
Another SJW pickle smoocher as a boss in LE/Gaol. Yawn.
Time will tell. Sheriff Joe will be proven right. Excuses will be made. Conservatives will be blamed. Little will change.
Why do I get the sinking feeling that I’m going to want to move fairly soon…
Check out one of Arpaio’s pals.

registration as a fake document.Imagine that…
the tent city was an effective cost cutting device which was turned into a circus by and only for the msm.
once again the msm helps to raise the cost to the taxpayer for housing mostly democrat criminals.

It has to be destroyed because it worked.
Jails are for criminals (lol) Joe’s tent’s are for animal’s. Is there a difference? Keep it opened-NO wi-Fi internet- no television- no any day free-bees because you did the crime now do the time…. and it gets really hot there so no air conditioners hehehehehehe..
It seems there are a lot less inmates than there were in the 90s and even recently. “I have five other detention centers with plenty of space,” said Penzone. “No inmates are going free.”
From 1700 at its peak to 700 now and empty jail cells elsewhere to boot? Why are there so many less inmates? Because there are less border-crossers? Inquiring minds want to know.
What is the underlying reason things are different now? How come that isn’t being mentioned?
Less arrests or less to arrest? There’s an important distinction. One is bad the other is very good.
I suspect the reason AZ voters elected a “Penzone” was they thought it was some kind of italian dish…
