TO 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 GingrichÂ’ 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 itÂ’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 canÂ’t afford to have for themselves.
If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it.
BTW Sheriff Joe was just re-elected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.
I wish there were more Sheriff's like this around the country. Maybe we could actually cut down on the crime...
I did a search on this guy and he is the real deal. :boxingguy
Can we get some applause for this guy or what???
He needs to come here and take over for Sherrif BACA!!!

He's one hell of a sheriff, I wish more where like him, he needs to take all the money he saving the county and pay his department personnel more :idea:
You gotta love that guy - we need more like him. Prison shouldn't be comfortable.
I watched the documentary on TV. That was awesome.
I'd love to see someone like him in Sonoma County where I live but the damned tree hugger, lettuce headed left wing A-holes wouldn't hear of anything like it! Maybe we could ship them to Arizona and let Joe reshape their attitudes.
I love Sherriff Joe. Only problem is he's probably paid out more in lawsuits than he's ever saved the county. He's also had some scandals with his higher-ups as far as money goes. Let's not even talk about the money the county had to eat on his new helicopter.
He needs to be incharge of the borders.
