Nothing Fancy
Approximately 200 undocumented immigrants are included among the 2,000 prisoners currently serving time in the Maricopa County "Tent City Jail", which was set up by Sheriff Joe Arpaio in 1993 to help ease overcrowding in the county's jail system. After serving their time, most of the prisoners will be deported. Photo taken April 30, 2010.
