USA JAIL - SOME INTERESTING READING

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 millions of dollars on another expensive prison complex.

He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He banned smoking and pornographic 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 2007), the Associated Press reported: 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 the Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing pink boxer shorts were overheard chatting in the tents, where temperatures reached 128 degrees.

"This is h**l. 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."

The same day 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.

  1. What a guy!


  2. I got it as well, hope you saw the picks of the people that have to wear pink boxers. I think be is brilliant. We should have this in the Kalahari.

    I think for people that go to jail for a year or this is perfect. If they get out they will never want to go back.

  3. This guy rocks babe!

  4. FINALLY. a guy that's not an idiot, and instead of just complaining about everything but going along with it, doing something about it.

    most of these guys have probably committed murders or things close to that, and they expect to get an air conditioned room with a bed, meals, playboy magazine, mtv, and exercise all for free, being paid for by people that didn't ask for that idiot to take their tax dollars.

  5. oh no...yes I agree this guy Rocks..

  6. Besides the Counties balance sheet... Has the crime level actually dropped?

  7. This guy has the right attitude.

    Cant help thinking; what if this was prison break and Scholfeld were in this prison haha

  8. But of course here, criminals live in the lap of luxury in prisons....

  9. you're a tool. A prize goose...

  10. whether they live in luxury or not, it wont shape a prisoner's mentality....if they wanna go out and rape a 12 yr old, they will do it regardless of the consequences.. this is just good for saving money thats it...

  11. This guy has got it right. No favours for prisoners. Look at the pic of the men in pink:

    Prisoners are not on holiday in an hotel. They are supposed to be paying for their crimes and earning their keep. What better way than getting them to work in chain gangs?  And why should they have better "housing" than the homeless?  Or better food than the poor and needy? Or work less than the honest hard-working man on the street?

    Like the mayor says:  "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."

    We have a lot of space in the Kalahari, and barbed wire is cheaper than walls ?  Lots of sun to provide solar power for the electrification of the fences!!

  12. Someone got it right

    SC

  13. I watched a video with something about him in it.

    I do not agree with you.
