300+ inmates still housed in Phoenix Tent City Jail during heat wave
rt.com
Hundreds of inmates are still being housed in Maricopa County’s infamous ‘Tent City Jail,’ as Phoenix is being hit with a punishing heat wave. Temperatures are forecasted to reach at least 120F (48C) or higher.
The Tent City Jail is an outdoor, canvas tent prison compound in Maricopa County, Arizona, where prisoners are subjected to the elements.
“Almost all of these inmates are in Tent City only at night,” Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Casey told the Phoenix New Times. “We estimate that approximately 50 will be on-site in the daytime – meaning that they work either a second or third shift at their job.”
Casey said inmates will be given unlimited access to ice water during high temperature warnings, and anyone requiring medical attention will be transferred.
Many of the inmates housed at Tent City work on chain gangs. Both male and female inmates work 30-day programs, doing roadside clean-up and landscaping.
