Jose Figueroa was booked into Maricopa County jail on September 26 on the preliminary felony charge of unlawful sexual conduct with an inmate.
An organizer for the ACLU started getting emails about heat complaints from women in the prison that the Lumley unit had been put on lockdown after a fight had broken out and that temperatures inside the cells were over 90 degrees.
