in 2016, i worked with a dutch film crew from bnn (not cnn) on a documentary about maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio’s infamous tent city. i took a guided tour of the facility and took photos with a disposable camera and forgot about them. i recently got the photos developed…
tent city is now closed. if you don’t know much about this experiment in human cruelty, i suggest you google it. i’m releasing these images under a creative commons license so that people won’t forget what a horrible place this was. you can do what you like with them as long as it’s non-commercial use.
you can learn more about the documentary here. click images to enlarge.
