Razor wire cut from Democratic convention jail facility

The Temporary Arrestee Processing Center that will be open during the Democratic National Convention will not have razor wires on the holding cells after all, officials said today.

Instead, the 18-by-18 holding areas will be topped with chain-link fencing to keep inmates from climbing out, Undersheriff Bill Lovingier said today during a media tour of the facility northeast of downtown.

Lovingier said that in response to community concerns, "We re-thought those plans, and we came up with a different plan."

The facility will open Sunday and remain operational until Aug. 31.

But it will house more than just those arrested during the DNC. Anyone arrested on the east side of the city during the DNC will be processed through the facility, Lovingier said.

"The purpose of that is so everybody that is arrested in Denver that week is treated the same," he said.

**SNIP**

"Our goal is to get them through here quickly and to the courthouse where they will have access to lawyers," Lovingier said.

Arrestees who post bond will be transported to the jail for release.

The facility is being paid for out of a $500,000 grant the Sheriff's Department received to cover staffing and other expenses for the DNC. About $40,000 of that money was used to install air conditioning at the facility.

Sheriff's Capt. Frank Gale said officials don't believe there will be widespread arrests during the DNC but "we have to plan in case we would need it."

"No one's going to be here more than a few hours," he said. "This isn't a jail. This is a place to process prisoners."

RATS surrounded by every booked drunk? Again, I want to see the security tape played back after the smoke clears.

The protesters might be meeting up with some bad actors, if this is the case.

Apologies for pointing out the obvious, but that does have an Orwellian ring to it, doesn't it?

[the invisib1e hand]

I mean, given that its purpose is associated with a political convention and all.

THe rats that run the city don't want to look totalitarian. So no razor wire. Dog kennels. I bet noone with a camera will be allowed anywhere near.

This is 18x18 what? Feet? If so, how do they expect to hold 200 smelly protestors?

I believe that the kooks have made a terrible miscalculation with their Denver gig. They are not going to get the attention and camera face time that they think they’re going to get. The “media” is going to be very busy documenting Obama’s “historical” subjects kissing his “historical” @$$ so I don’t see them spending much time filming the freak show outside. If the kooks want face time, they are going to have to go to the GOP convention.

[keepitreal]

I guess they could stack the kennels on each other.

Off subject, but I heard a classic euphemism for the plane crash in Spain today. One safety expert referred to it as an “runway excursion”. Sounds like a picnic or something.

A kinder, more gentle incarceration

I’d pay for the loudspeakers if they’d just pipe in Rush 24/7.

I’m hoping they deploy those magic machines that make them poop on themselves...

It's a warehouse filled with 18x18 cells.

Each infraction is rewarded with "a night in the box":

Them clothes got laundry numbers on 'em. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends the night in the box.

These here spoons, you keep with ya. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box.

There's no playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon.

Any man playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the building spends a night in the box.

First bell is at five minutes of eight...Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends a night in the box.

There's no smokin' in the prone position in bed. If you smoke, you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smokin' in the prone position in bed spends the night in the box.

You'll get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top and the top sheet on the bottom. The bottom sheet you turn into the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box.

No one will sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sittin' on the bunks spends a night in the box.

Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box.

Any man loud-talkin' spends a night in the box.

You got questions, you come to me...

Any man don't keep order spends a night in the box.
