ALL PRISONS IN ALL THE STATES SHOULD BE RUN!!!! IF YA DON'T WANT THE TIME DON'T DO THE CRIME!
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of
Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb.
Well.........
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!
Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats
and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said
okay.
The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the
strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who
are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to
adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of
prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.
The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. Teresa and I
adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and
current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost
us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free,
just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance,
etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.
I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail
system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago,
where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all
the work and harvesting by hand.
He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the
Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for
$6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.
Yup, he was re-elected last year with 83% of the vote. Now he's in trouble with the ACLU
again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special
hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report
suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't
doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for
enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses
just for hauling folks back to the border. He's kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind
of Sheriff.
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' rated 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!'
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
mouths!'
