If mass arrests happen at the Democratic Convention, those taken into custody will be jailed in a warehouse owned by the City of Denver. The newly created lockup is on the northeast side of Denver. Inside are dozens of metal cages. They are made out of chain link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire.
“This is a secured environment,” Capt. Frank Gale of the Denver Sheriff’s Department stated.
“We’re concerned about how that’s going to be utilized by people who will be potentially disruptive.”
In past conventions, mass arrests have taken place.
With Denver’s jails already overflowing, new space had to be created and officers trained.
Each of the fenced areas is about 5 yards by 5 yards and there is a lock on the door. A sign on the wall reads “Warning! Electric stun devices used in this facility.”
Wow. The party of peace and love and tolerance, having a prison camp constructed for them and their anarchist activities. Sweet.

Hmm, 200 years ago, "potentially disruptive" was called "freedom of speech".
Everyone knows that Free Speech is double-plus ungood, these days.
Freedom is merely an illusion. Be a good subject ...
