Others will walk up a dirt road about 100 yards, pass through metal detectors to make sure they are not carrying weapons, then board buses for a ride of several miles to a processing center already set up inside a cavernous airplane hangar on the grounds of Texas State Technical College. There they will be stripped, dressed in prison garb, photographed and sent to local jails...
