Okay, I actually went to MEPS in Tucson, but it was in the Clinton era. (I was in a VBL in Sarajevo. A UN one.) We have Due Process everywhere, regardless of what racist sheriffs try to do. That's why the Honolulu Hospital didn't release medical records to them. The only reason we have them is because the patient waived Patient Privilege to shut up David Duke, and Goldfinger. He's really the only one Alive that could do that. Not because he was President, but because his name is on that document.
I do tend to agree with your views, but on this you're rather naive, or ignorant of the facts. Whichever...
Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person. Due process balances the power of law of the land and protects the individual person from it. When a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends the rule of law.
due proc·ess
do͞o prəˈses/
noun
fair treatment through the normal judicial system, especially as a citizen's entitlement.

When asked about the comment by the Guardian in July, Arpaio brushed it off as a joke. “But even if it was a concentration camp, what difference does it make? I still survived. I still kept getting re-elected,” he said.
The jail survived too. For more than 20 years, Tent City stood within a larger jail compound in an industrial area 10 minutes south of downtown Phoenix. At its peak in the late 1990s, it comprised 82 Korean war-era military tents and housed 1,700 inmates. After 2009, it could hold up to 200 undocumented immigrants.
Despite multiple lawsuits from mistreated former prisoners, mounting public outrage and intense criticism from groups such as Amnesty International, which derided the facility as inhumane, overcrowded and dangerous, the outdoor prison remained open. Even the justice department accused Arpaio of racially profiling Latinos on his patrols and denying prisoners basic human rights in his jails.

The year I spent in Joe Arpaio’s tent jail was hell. He should never walk free.

A federal judge ruled on Friday that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies had violated the constitutional rights of Latinos by targeting them during raids and traffic stops here and throughout Maricopa County.

HUMAN RIGHTS
How Many Inmates Have Died in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Jails? Who Knows, But it's a Big Number.
It's a nice thought that people aren't treated poorly by those who are paid to protect.. but it happens, and often. It was especially bad there.
