An inmate held inside Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County "tent city" jail carries his laundry May 3, 2010, in Phoenix, Arizona. This area of the tent city houses misdemeanor offenders. 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.
