"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. Here's a few 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 "PG" 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.
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."

UNION, N.J. - A sheriff's officer who was shot while executing an arrest warrant in Union remained in fair condition yesterday at University Hospital in Newark with a bullet in his jaw.
Officer Anthony Gialanella was shot about 5 p.m. Tuesday by a parole violator, Michael Johnson, who was trying to escape officers executing the warrant, Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow said. Officers then shot and killed Johnson, 34, Romankow said.
"Our initial follow-up investigation makes it clear the officers' actions were clearly necessary to stop the deadly force being directed at the four officers present," he said. He called it "a miracle" that Gialanella had survived the almost point-blank shot.

"Do you want to go to prison, Sonja?"
"You say it is cushy, it is like holiday camp?"
[pause]
"I was making a point about something else."
Aha!

40 cents and charges the inmates for them? That's brilliant.
Hmm. He might go a bit too far, depending on the food available and the nature of the chain gangs, but if you could trust the justce system to distinguish between the guilty and innocent it could be a pretty good system.
I figure for 'soft' criminals and first offenders, the less plesant prison is, without straying into the abusive or inhumane, the better it's doing its job.
Though for the kind of criminals where there's clearly no value in trying to make prison a deterrant (eg, 'one-off' offenders, life criminals etc) I figure you don't need to go out of your way to make them suffer.
I was a bit disappointed when they got rid of that prison ship - it seemed like a great idea. You could get rid of all the criminals and at the same time kick start the country's ship building industry.

Inmates in pink only allowed to watch Disney - way to go.
I bet he wears mirrored shades, is slightly overweight and has a big black hound that rides in his sheriff car, calls the nigras "boy" and is a chaw chewing redneck.
