TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO
HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA 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 years. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city
and longago 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.

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