Maricopa County Sheriff Runs Tent City Jail For Immigrant Prisoners

PHOENIX - APRIL 30: Undocumented immigrant Sam Ramos, 39, shows off his jail-issued pink underwear in the Maricopa County "Tent City Jail" on April 30, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona. Ramos, a construction contractor, said he has lived in Arizona for 24 years and has an American wife and four children born in the U.S. He was stopped by Maricopa sheriff's department deputies on an outstanding warrant and expects to be deported back to Mexico after his four month sentence. Some 200 undocumented immigrants are currently serving time in the facility. The controversial jail is run by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been an outspoken critic of illegal immigration and a supporter of Arizona's new tough immigration law. Prisoners at the facility are fed twice a day, sleep in non-airconditioned tents and are issued striped prison uniforms and pink undergarments to wear. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
