Blackstone was a little town in the desert of Phoenix It had been established with the construction of the prison there The toas small and the residents there depended on the prison for a living

That toidely known in Phoenix as the ‘Orange Clothes Town’

Orange was the e was recognized as one Most of the residents in Blackstone Toere prisoners who decided to stay behind and live there after being released Hence, the toas nicknae Clothes Town

Like the prison in Miami, Blackstone prison was also meant for prisoners who had committed less severe crimes Most of the inmates were convicted of offenses like minor theft or fraud and carried little risk to society

The locals understood the situation very well If souard dogs would not stop the

Hence, the locals did not lock their doors when they left the house Whoever wished to enter the house could do so freely

However, there were CCTVs installed on the corners of the streets If someone dared to trespass and steal, they would not be able to escape easily It was usually possible to identify the thief fros

The situation in Blackstone toas not unique in Phoenix As the touris as a place was special and interesting, tourists would flock there

More than two hundred treasure hunters squeezed into the quadrangle of the prison The place had never been so full

Initially, the warehouse was located at the back of the prison grounds However, the prison warden did not want the treasure hunters to go too deep into the prison They would be able to walk past the prison cells, and it would be nasty if trouble arose

Therefore, he had instructed the prisoners to organize and bring out the items in the warehouse The items were then le

Those huts used to be prison cells However, as tiovernment had built new blocks of prison cells, the huts were evacuated and transformed into warehouses

As the huts had not been inhabited, they looked extrelanced at theht that those were the prison warehouses and would not have thought that the warden has moved the items to another spot

That was an i the items, the prison warden had found a bunch of people to help retrieve the more valuable ones Hence, the items left in the huts were those that had less value

If the treasure hunters had known that, the auction would lose ht even have sued the prison for being involved in business fraud
