Sheriff Joe Arpaio
THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO
HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the "tent city
jail":
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the
inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away
their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on
county and city projects.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued
for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal
court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable
TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know
how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the
Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he
pipes into the jails.
When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a
Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why
a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
More on the Arizona Sheriff:
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116
degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About
2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the
Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their
government-issued pink boxer shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled
up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138
degrees inside the week before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on
their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an
inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 = years. "It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and
long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna
sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told
all of the inmates:
"It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are
living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they
didn't commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"
Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one
there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals
should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's
time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they
can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers
can't afford to have for themselves.
If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it.
Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County,

I heard his story a few years back too. I approve 100% of his policies and wish more states would adopt his type of prison reform. I think it would go a long way toward cutting down on crime if the people headed for prison didn't think of it as some kind of resort.
TO THE SHERIFF...... ( if he drinks )

That's how all prisons should be run. To many prisons are being runned like a resort. Those prisoners gave up their rights when they commited crimes. They have no rights. It's called prison not club med.
Good job Joe Apriao
