The facility was made available to Catholic Community Services just as its lease at the former Benedictine Monastery was ending. By MICHAEL BROWN Managing Editor The Pima County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on July 22 to approve an agreement with Catholic Community Services and the Diocese of Tucson for use of vacant sections of the county’s Juvenile Detention Center on the city’s South side. The vote followed more than 90 minutes of contentious public comment, with opponents outnumbering supporters nearly three-to-one. Chairman Richard Elias, who voted with supervisors Ramon Valadez and Sharon Bronson to approve the agreement, acknowledged that “we did a poor job in rolling this out.” However, he urged members of all the community advocacy groups to find a way to work together moving forward. Supervisors Ally Miller and Steve Christy voted against it. Most of the public opposition came from local Methodist leaders, including a statement from Bishop Robert Hoshibata, who favored decentralization of centers where asylum-seekers may feel more welcome, when transported to Tucson by federal law enforcement. Other opponents decried the use of a detention center as likely to cause severe trauma to those passing through. Four spoke against S See COUNTY on page 9
