We need more sheriffs like this

Post by PHBeerman »

You gotta Love Sheriff Joe.
This is the way he is, and he has been re-elected several times.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona)
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 but 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 is a good one......
"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.


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 1/2 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."

a lot if it is being done by other county jails - such as the pink boxers, no smoking, bologna sandwiches. He just goes that extra mile
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.
