You gotta love this guy!


Sheriff Joe is at it again, way to go!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the tent city jail has jail
meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates. He stopped
smoking and porno magazines in the jails. He 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 th e 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's lecture series on videotape that he pipes
into the jails.


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 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 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.



We pay our debt sometimes.
