USA JAIL -
SOME INTERESTING READING
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO,
HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF (ARIZONA)
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
|
|
 |
These are some of the reasons
why:
 |
| |
|
Sheriff Joe Arpaio created
the "tent city jail" to save Arizona from
spending tens of millions of dollars on
another expensive prison complex.
He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving
and charges the inmates for them.
He banned smoking and pornographic magazines
in the jails, and took away
their
weightlifting equipment and cut off all but
"G" movies. He says:
"They're in jail to pay a debt to society
not to build muscles so they can assault
innocent people when they
leave."
|
 |
| |
|
He started chain gangs to use
the inmates to do free work on county and
city projects and save taxpayer's money.
|
 |
| |
|
|
 |
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 but only allows the
Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel,
he replied: "So these morons will know how
hot it's gonna be while they are working on
my chain gangs."
He cut off coffee because it has zero
nutritional value and is therefore a waste
of taxpayer money. When the inmates
complained, he told
them, "This isn't the
Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't
come back."
He also bought the Newt Gingrich lecture
series on US history 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 that
actually tells the truth for a change would
be welcome and that it might even explain
why 95% 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 for June 2nd
2009), the Associated Press
reported: 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
|

|
|
|
On the
Wednesday, hundreds of men
wearing pink boxer shorts were overheard
chatting in the tents, where
temperatures reached 128 degrees.
"This is hell. It feels like we live in a
furnace," said Ernesto Gonzales, an inmate
for 2
years with 10 more to go.
"It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, who makes his prisoners wear
pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one
bit sympathetic. "Criminals should be
punished for their crimes - not live in
luxury until it's time for parole, only to
go out and commit more crimes so they can
come back in to live on taxpayers money and
enjoy things many taxpayers can't afford to
have for themselves."
The same day he told all the inmates who
were complaining of the heat in the tents:
"It's between 120 to 130 degrees in Iraq
and our soldiers are living in tents there
too, and they have to walk all day in that
sun, wearing full battle gear and getting
shot at, and THEY have not committed any
crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"
Way to go, Sheriff! If all prisons were like
yours there would be a lot less crime and we
would not be in the current position of
running out of prison space in South Africa
with one of the highest crime rates because
... our Government believes that
criminal have rights!
If you agree, pass this on. If not,
just delete it.
Sheriff Joe was just re-elected
for the fourteenth time as
Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona. In
South Africa our National Commissioner of
Police has just been fired for alleged
corruption ... so what's new?
