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."

Barack does need some contrast on his ticket. That ought to do it!
This should give a shiver to the coddled “truthers” who thought they would just be hanging around with like-minded “agitators.”
You have it. Helen singing Christian Hymns would be a nice touch!

There won't be any room for them. Why is that, you ask? Because the entire MSM is already in the tank for Obama!
They will have post-arrest parties after the DNC to compare their experiences. Don't forget to take your jail camera.
They bein' oppressed by The Man. Wack Power.
And, as I have advised Denver merchants before, please remove the paints and slingshots and BB guns from the shelves. Thank you.
Violence is part of their language, and becoming more a part of their language.
Obama is a fascist , neo colonial black power socialist fascist. Look at what he did in Kenya in August of 2007!
Take a look at the Republican convention plans in Minneapolis -Saint Paul. Do you see a special "processing " center there? We should be proud of the fact that Republicans do not need one, and the nation should be informed as to why there is a difference.
Wimps! The security camera footage of them trying to get over the wire would have been so much more entertaining.
Methinks the DNC or some liberal Denver council critter got this changed.
Will Hillary have one to herself?
The ones on the bottom will be in deep doo doo. ;-)
