Tent City

Ma soeur m'a fait parvenir un power point sur Tent City. Une prison "nouveau" genre ou les prisonnier ne sont pas comme au Hilton. Des tentes dans le désert sans TV, ni porn, ni cigarettes, ni café. Les prisonniers doivent faire des travaux public sans être rémunérer et quand il fait chaud, genre 55 degrées à l'ombre, il peuvent se promener en boxer...rose.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a colorful and controversial character who has instituted severe policies at Phonex's Maricopa County Jail since taking office in 1993.According to his bio on the Maricopa county website, he enjoys being known as "America's toughest sheriff."He got nationwide attention when he established the Maricopa County tent city for inmates.More than 2,000 prisoners live without smoking, coffee, pornographic magazines, movies and unrestricted television in all jails.The eRumor says the meals cost less than 40 cents but the cost figure is actually less than 20 cents.Arpaio has also instituted what he calls "Hard Knocks High", the only accredited high school in an American jail. That, along with an anti-drug program, says Arpaio, has resulted in a high percentage of his inmates leaving jail without their addictions and few of them returning.
