The tallest guard tower overlooking the imate camp displays a neon "vacancy" sign at Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County "tent city" jail May 3, 2010, in Phoenix, Arizona. In August, 1993, Arpaio started the nation?s largest Tent City for convicted inmates. Two thousand convicted men and women serve their sentences in a canvas incarceration compound. AFP Photo/Paul J.
