Browning GTS Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 AN UPDATE ON SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO - ARIZONA >TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA >COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. > > > >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 them smoking, took away porno magazines and weight training gear >and cut off all but PG movies on their televisions. > >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 stopped coffee since it has zero nutritional value. > >When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz. 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. > > > >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 year. "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 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. > >If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it. > >Sheriff Joe was just re-elected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
