Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has labeled an Arizona prison known as Tent City a "disgrace to this country."
"I think that what (Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio) is doing is really a disgrace to this country and it makes us look very, very bad all over the world," Sanders told KTAR News 92.3 FM's Mac & Gaydos on Monday.
Sanders said the jail, which has drawn criticism in the past for being too extreme, is inhumane.
"You don't have prisoners in this country exposed to 130-degree temperatures," he said. "You don't humiliate people. That is not what American justice should be about."

“If they can’t be rehabilitated then efforts to do so...”
...are a colossal waste of taxpayer money. 50+ years of room and board, food and medical care makes no sense. That’s what rope is for.
Sanders’/Democrats’ solution, and the solution proposed by the GOP-e—and their stooges?
“Let’s legalize them all and kick this can down the road to for our children to handle, when it will be ten times worse.” That’s ‘comprehensive immigration reform.”
It’s identical to their spending and budget attitudes and national defense policies.
Trump’s solutions? Stop the leaks, bail. Secure our borders. Stop wasting money. Restore our armed forces.
It ain’t rocket science.
Shame on Bernie. Who are the people who keep electing this loser?
“You don’t have prisoners in this country exposed to 130-degree temperatures,” he said. “You don’t humiliate people. That is not what American justice should be about.”
Bernie, that’s in downtown Phoenix. It’s a city. A _lot_ of people _live_ there. Yeah, there’s A/C...but it was a city with a lot of people looooong before A/C was used there (and those people didn’t necessarily have reliable quality food, water, and sanitation).
“Justice” is keeping them behind a razor-wire fence for a fair stint.
Cheap room-and-board outdoors with a tent sounds pretty appealing to this mortgage-laden repairs-making homeowner.
And attitudes like this are what the hell arranged for by God are for....
Hell..... Goin’ Commando is also for hot summer days.... Ain’t just for hippies.
The NEED for the Tent City is the disgrace.
The NEED for the Tent City is the disgrace.
Please pass along to Bernie that we in Maricopa county like the innovation shown by our sheriff when the jail population went to the sky a decade ago. It was very sensible.
But then, true believers in local government of the people such as we residents of Maricopa county don’t get to have the government we want in the socialist world of Bernie.
Having a hardcore communist like Bernie and an insane asylum escapee like Hilary running for president is a disgrace to this country and it makes us look very, very bad all over the world.
that was my point, all US criminal correctional facilities need to be places of punishment like and kind to Maricopa County's. They would serve the law and the citizens from coast to coast equally.
Who is the boss who is going to order this “should”?
I don’t believe it’s the God of the bible.
Not to preach but God's forgiveness is immediate upon asking and repentance and will certainly be realized in our resurrection upon the return of our Savior. Sheriff Joe's criminal management is not cruel and unusual, they all have food, water and a bed and none have been beaten or died as a result of their prison environment. Every single criminal in that all other correctional facilities are there because they victimized a fellow human. That too is against God's word.
Don’t flatter me.
Fear God.
You’re curiously busy making excuses.
We need a radical rethink.
I.e. if you long to manage a piece of hell, don’t complain about the “fringe benefits.”
