Imagine you're in prison for a victimless crime. You didn't hurt anyone, you just broke one of the government's rules. Maybe you drove after drinking alchohol, violated parole or got caught with cannabis. Now imagine you are in Phoenix, Arizona, the sixth largest city in the U.S. You're under the thumb of Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa county and administrator of a self-admitted concentration camp in the desert called Tent City. This is a place where the drug-sniffing dogs eat for $1 per day and the prisoners for just 50 cents. Two days ago, the temperature in your tent hit 145 degrees Fahrenheit. As Brad Spangler at C4SS notes, roast beef is cooked at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This is torture. What is going on in Maricopa county?! Many of the prisoners are just awaiting trial.
