Don Bartletti provided photos for Richard Marosi’s story “Notorious Tijuana jail to be just a dark memory.”
From the LA Times: “A cacophony of shouts and clanging metal. The overpowering stench of vomit and urine. This is the Tijuana jail, nicknamed “La Ocho” because it is on Eighth Street. The lockup, known for decades to hard-partying hordes of Americans and locals, is closing.”
My guess would be anyone who suffered a night or more in this hole will be glad no-one else has to endure the same?
