PHOENIX A prostitute doing time behind bars, Marcia Powell was temporarily moved one day last month to an outdoor holding pen with nothing but a chain-link-fence roof to shield her from the searing desert sun.
She lasted less than four hours.
Powell, 48, collapsed in the 108-degree heat and died at a hospital the next day, touching off a criminal investigation and bringing an abrupt end to a little-known practice in Arizona's prison system that inmate-rights activists found repellent.

Bad implementation of a good policy.
This will, of course, be used against Arpaio.

Bad implementation of a good policy.Agreed.
Is this an Arpaio issue? It looks like this is a prison, not his jail.

Not directly.
But facts never stop libtards. They will try to link this to him just as they tried to link the crazy bastard who killed the abortionist/murderer to all Conservatives.

I think Arpio’s tent city is a little better run than this.

I’m still trying to avoid wrapping my head around the idea of a 48 year old prostitute.

Yes — I am just bracing for the libtards’ mud-splash.

News vs spin. The report should not jump to conclusions.
Good grief. I've played 5 hours of golf in 112 degrees (drinking as much beer as water) and hiked several hours in the rocky hills around there in 128 degree heat. I'll bet there are other contributing factors - she was probably on drugs or drunk. If she lived in Phoenix for any time, I guarantee she's been in worse heat without dying.

Scorching? At 108??? Does anyone challenge this nonsense? 1/4 of the world lives in regions where the temperature can exceed 110. Our troops in the middle east handle this heat all the time. Give me a break.

She lasted less than four hours.
She must have been suffering from dehydration before being arrested.
