Didn't John McCain set up the tent city prisons out in the Arizona deserts? Saving taxpayers?

Question

Was it him or a sheriff or who that when prisons were overcrowded and building expensive ones was prohibitively expensive, set up a tent incarceration camp, sans luxuries, in the desert where no one would want to escape. If I recall correctly, he spent time there to show it wasn't unduly harsh (not compared to his 5 1/2 years as a POW)

Answer 1

I'd vote for Joe Arpaio!  Go ARIZONA!

Maybe McCain learned a little something.

Answer 2

No. It was the sheriff, Joe Arpaio. McCain had nothing to do with it.

Answer 3

No.

That was the sheriff - Joe Arpio.

And the tent cities was only one of the changes he made.

John McCain had absolutely nothing to do with that.
