“For the residents of Tent City Jail, their time behind bars is an exercise in humiliation: they are forced to dress in pink underwear, they ‘work seven days a week, are fed only twice a day, get no coffee, no cigarettes, no salt, pepper or ketchup and no organized recreation. It is in this Guantanamo-like facility that Michael Salman—who was fined more than $12,000 and sentenced to 60 days in jail starting on July 9, 2012, for the so-called crime of holding a weekly Bible study in his Phoenix home, allegedly in violation of the city’s building codes—is incarcerated.”
