Inmates in Maricopa County prisons will be forbidden from seeing friends and family on Saturday.

All Maricopa County jails will be in a security override status as Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio prepares for thousands of activists to descend on Tent City, demanding it be shut down.

The protest march is supposed to begin about 6:00 p.m. Saturday in front of Tent City, located at 29th Avenue and Durango.

Arpaio said he will be present at the protest to defend both Tent City and his policies.
