My son had a roommate in college who had four or five DUIs and was headed for the tent city. His step-father was a well known lawyer and even he could not get him off. When the kid reported for tent city, they found another MIP that had never been settled and the kid went away to the real jail.

Believe me, the tent city was preferable.

The parents were so well off that they and another friend of his parents’ used to split the cost of a personal driver who used to pick them up every night in a Mercedes to drive them to various bars and back home in time for classes the next morning.

"Tent city is a human rights travesty," said Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray. "We stand on the side of human rights and hope for tomorrow."

The Unitarian group is wrapping up it's week long conference in Phoenix this Sunday, but not before holding a protest vigil at Tent City on Saturday night.

They believe the outdoor jail run by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is unjust and inhuman, and they say it unfairly targets Latinos and African-Americans over whites.

The Sheriff is planning to close down his Valley jails to visitors on Saturday because of the protests, but he has also invited leaders of the protest groups to take a tour of Tent City to see what it's like on the inside.

Looks like some Sheriff Joe supporters were there as well.

I guess I have to agree with the protesters here. I think those tent cities are far too humane and cushy for our prisoners.

I say drop all prisoners off on the 1200-mile ling Aleutian island chain at a mile marker that is proportional to the severity of their crime ... with instructions to walk/swim home.

If Soros is out to get you, then you must be doing what is best for America.

Keep the pressure on Sheriff Joe, keep it on!

Who paid for the shirts and signs?
