Could you see this happening over here?? I doubt it

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF( ARIZONA ) AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.

These are some of the reasons why:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio created the "tent city jail" to save Arizona from spending tens of million of dollars on another expensive prison
complex. He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He banned smoking and porno magazines in the jails, and took away their weightlifting equipment and cut off all but "G" movies.
He says: "they're in jail to pay a debt to society not to build muscles so they can assault innocent people when they leave."

He started chain gangs to use the inmates to do free work on county and city projects and save taxpayer's money.
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 allows the Disney channel and the weather channel.

When asked why the weather channel he replied: "so these morons will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs."
He cut off coffee because it has zero nutritional value and is therefore a waste of taxpayer money. When the inmates complained, he
told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."

He also bought the Newt Gingrich lecture series on US history 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 that actually tells the truth for a change would be welcome and that
it might even explain why 95% 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 for June 2nd), 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 pink boxer shorts were chatting in the tents, where temperatures reached 128 degrees. "This is hell. It
feels like we live in a furnace," said Ernesto Gonzales, an inmate for 2 years with 10 more to go. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, who makes his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. "Criminals should be punished
for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for parole, only to go out and commit more crimes so they can come back in to live on
taxpayers money and enjoy things many taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves."

Wednesday he told all the inmates who were complaining of the heat in the tents: "It's between 120 to 130 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are
living in tents too, and they have to walk all day in the sun, wearing full battle gear and get shot at, and they have not committed any crimes,
so shut your damned mouths!"

Way to go, Sheriff! If all prisons were like yours there would be a lot less crime and we would not be in the current position of running out
of prison spaces.

Sheriff Joe was just re-elected Sheriff in Maricopa County , Arizona

Priceless - wonder if he wants to run for PM?

He makes some very valid points there

We should appoint him to our very own Home Office to point out a few anomalies to Mr Reid

A lady I work with is from Arizona... she says the pink boxer shorts were created to stop inmates stealing them. But they soon became a novelty and could fetch a good price outside the prisons... so prisoners started stealing them in greater numbers.

Im off to ebay.com

The difference is that the sherriff gets directly elected. Just think what it would be like here if we elected the chief constable and anyone could stand for the office. We might even get someone who responded to public pressure. Then get rid of the human rightsa act for criminals ..........................

Dont want to torture them or anything, but see no reason why a NF member shouldnt be put in a cell with a MUslim acivist for example. Or a rapist with a big butch poof. Both of which would give rise to a million pound law suit these PC days.
