Hot Enough for You?

It's even hotter than usual in Phoenix, the Associated Press reports:

 

About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at

the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their

government-issued pink boxer shorts.

 

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their

bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week

before. Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on

their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

 

"It feels like you are in a furnace," said James Zanzo't, an inmate who has

lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's inhumane."

 

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago

started making his prisoners wear pink, is not sympathetic. He said

Wednesday that he told the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the

soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your

mouths."

 

How could you not like this guy?
