Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio lifted a three-week lock down of the Fourth Avenue Jail in Phoenix on Wednesday.
Arpaio placed the jail on lockdown June 29 after a race riot.
Arpaio said the riot was intended to force him to separate the housing by race.
Inmates were confined to their cells 23 hours a day and weren’t allowed telephone calls.
