Sheriff Joe - Reelected

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO - HE IS THE MARICOPA 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 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 ½ 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 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.
 
I got a big kick out of Ol' Joe when I lived in Arizona. His antics are a bit crude and blunt but they work. At one time I thought I heard that the chain gangs actually liked getting out and working even if it was hotter than hell and hard labor. I wish other sherrif's around the country would adopt even half of his philosophies. Joe Arpaio rocks!!
 
Joe is now adding Pink handcuffs to his arsenal. He is the most popular sherriff that i can remember [both loved and hated]
 
It works, I have a couple buddys in tent city before.....they told me it definately sucks.....
 
I would vote for him and any of his kind that came along.
This is what America needs, and it shows that some one in the U.S. that deals with the penal system is very understanding of the situation....
WTG Joe and keep up the good work.... :D:D:D
 
Well you guys there are 2 sides to old Joe.....He has done alot for the sherrifs dept. and he has implemented some great idea`s But while he has saved them money... he has also cost them millions in lawsuits etc. He backs his guys [deputy`s/guards] even when they screw up [kill prisoners] and has been sued for big bucks...But most polititions hate him because he is elected by the people [not appointed] like phx. chief of police and others with sherriff Joe you kinda get The good/bad/ugly. But all in all he run the jail system pretty good.....his politics are strange.
 
cjcj- His antics are a little strange but at least he backs his (deputy's/guards), at least until they are proven wrong, nice to have support especially if you are in the right. sure he has done somethings wrong but at least you know where he stands.
 
I do not think they should be killed in prison, but I think anybody Murders, Molest or rapes should automatically get the Death penalty so I don't have to pay to cloth them, feed them, or put a roof over their head.

We always have to be so Politically correct in this country while I am thankful for that in everyway, I just think people take advantage of our kindness and mistake it for weakness…

I agree that if they always got treated in such a manor, maybe ppl would think twice about risking jail time!
 
You guys that don't live here see it and think it's just grand what Ol Joe is doing. . When it's all said and done thye're gonna find out he's just as corrupt as the rest of the politicos. I'm neither for or against him, just waiting to see the fall out.
 
I agree Prisons shouldn't be Retreats..... Even if he Has Bad sides, Kudos to what He;s doing !!!!!
 
I liked the way the old movie "Brubaker" with Robert Redford, had it set up just before he had to leave the prison.
