There is no heating or air conditioning in the tents and inmates live on a vile diet of rotting food past its sell-by date donated for free to save taxpayers’ money.

This cannot possibly be accurate. Rotting food?

We've talked about this earlier on in the thread and I think that most of us have come to the conclusion that this is a case of The Sun being just a tad hyperbolic, as is their occasional custom.

The food is so inexpensive because it's past it's "sell by" date, but that doesn't mean that it's unhealthy or 'rotting'.. The young reporter that wrote this story is accustomed to the swanky nightclubs of London, and so bologna sandwiches that are just beyond the sell-by date are probably far beyond anything he's experienced, and so he vents in a bit of an 'over the top' fashion in the story.

Sheriff Arpaio wouldn't feed inmates rotting food that would make them sick....he is a good man who follows the law and that would be clear abuse and mistreatment of the prisoners.

Tabloid papers tend to get a bit emotional sometimes   :-)
