>To you who do not know who Sheriff Joe Arpaio  is.
>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.
>
>
>"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 told all of the inmates:

>"It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers
>are  living in tents to 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
