Towns once run by Warren Jeffs’ polygamous sect emerge from court supervision transformed
AI Summary
Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, neighboring towns formerly controlled by Warren Jeffs' Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, have emerged from court supervision. The towns, once characterized by prairie dresses, walled compounds, and distrust of outsiders, now resemble typical American towns with activities like youth sports, bars, and wineries. This transformation occurred after courts intervened and removed the control of the polygamous sect, whose leader was imprisoned for sexual assault. The towns were released from court-ordered supervision earlier than expected due to the rapid changes. These towns now participate in activities that were once forbidden.
