M7D1: Is Tent City the Answer to Prison Overcrowding?

A

merican society currently prefers the justice model approach (i.e., just desserts and “get tough

“policies) regarding criminal incarceration;

however, some argue that this approach only creates

overcrowding and enormous prison costs. Others argue that prisoners today are being coddled.

Consequently, the public remains divided over these issues, but Sheriff Joseph Arpaio’s response

to prison over

crowding is very clear, as evinced by his Tent City in Maricopa County, Arizona
