Visitation at the jail, 1270 W. Silverlake Road, will be suspended during the 9-11 a.m. exercise involving personnel from the Sheriff’s, Tucson Police and Fire departments.

The joint operation is aimed at preparing staff in the event of a fire. First Appearance Court, visitation at the Mission Complex, 1801 S. Mission Road, and jail bookings will not be affected, according to the news release.

This archive contains all the stories that appeared on the Tucson Citizen's website from mid-2006 to June 1, 2009.

In 2010, a power surge fried a server that contained all of videos linked to dozens of stories in this archive. Also, a server that contained all of the databases for dozens of stories was accidentally erased, so all of those links are broken as well. However, all of the text and photos that accompanied some stories have been preserved.
