The Tent City DVD |
|
| This documentary is a must have for anyone that has been sentenced to the tents. People going to the tents are very afraid of what they are about to experience. This 30 minute DVD will help them to deal with what they are about to face, by giving them the insight of an individual that went through the experience. You will learn the rules, language and expectations of a "stay in the tents". After viewing, individuals will go into the tents knowing rules, how to get along, how to eat and live healthy, and how to make their time a bit more bearable. This DVD was produced by an individual that was sentenced to 60 days in the tents, with work release. |
Tent City History |
Self-Surrender Directions |
| The Tents Jail was begun in 1993 when Sheriff Joe Arpaio was able to obtain some surplus military tents. These tents were set up in an area adjacent to one of the existing Maricopa County Jails in Phoenix, Arizona. Sheriff Arpaio had previously decided that he would not release any inmates due to jail overcrowding, and housing sentenced inmates in the tents seemed a good solution. Funding for the project was minimal, and included the cost for cement necessary for base pads, secure fencing, and electric costs for heating, cooling and lights. | Self-surrender is usually at the Lower Buckeye Jail, between 27th and 35th Avenues on Lower Buckeye Road (map). When sentenced you will be given instructions on where to report. There is parking on the east side of the Lower Buckeye Jail. You will see a large steel door with the Sheriff insignia on it. There is a shaded waiting area with seats, a vending machine and a pay phone. Arrive at your designated time and wait. The large steel door will open and a Correction Officer will call you in and you will begin your processing and wait in various holding cells. More Info |
