Update on Joe Arpaio
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) 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
CourtOrder 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 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! [1]
[1] No, not you, Bill. ;)

And they are all VOLUNTEER, I might add. NO prisoner is ever
forced to work on them.

Dog help us all.

Good man, fine sense of humour :-)

Tee hee :-).
"Arpaio also runs a high school/GED program and an English speaking
program. "The inmates need to speak English; my guards don't need to
speak Spanish. We're in America."
"With regard to the quality of the food, other prisons in the State
and around the nation will average a dollar to a buck and a half per
meal."
I've worked in a bunch of prisons and jails ( fixing HVAC/R,
often in the kitchen, and eaten in a few ( Once you're inside a Max
facility, you don't just go running out at lunchtime. The STAFF
usually eat the same food as the inmates ).
The ktichens are cleaner than most retaraunts you or I have
ever eaten in (I've worked in a whole bunch of those, too). The food
is EXCELLENT - always ice cold milk, fresh veggies, professional cooks
supervising inmates who pride themselves on their work ( it BETTER be
good - they go back into population when their shift is over ). The
equipment is well maintained ( why not - the state pays for it, so who
cares about the cost ? ! )
Our local pokey has a really nice word-floored half-court
B-ball court, for INMATES ONLY. No staff allowed. I was 'spoken to'
once by the Lieutenant for referring to the guys in the ornag
jumpsuits as 'inamtes', while speaking to a guard. He told me that
they are to be clled 'residents' or 'guests', not 'inmates' or
'prisoners'. He was VERY serious about it.

I don't know. Some of that stuff on Disney probably qualifies for the
"cruel and unusual punishment" part of the Constitution.

NY is somewhere around $3.50 per day last I remember reading.

In NY, employees eating state purchased food is grounds for fine or
dismissal. And after seeing many of the meals, eating them would
probably be grounds for indigestion at the least... I know if the
convicts' food is looking good, I am hungrier than I realized and should
go have lunch.

The "professional cooks" on staff at NY prisons watch the inmates
re-heat the quick-chill packages. Very little actual cooking is done on
a local prison level anymore. They'll bake cakes or cookies for
desserts or cornbread for meals, but other than that, they just throw
the pre-packaged bags into boiling water for a while.

How very PC of them.
In NY, it's "inmates". Although "convict", "prisoner", "asshole", and
"scumbag" are also commonly used by the officers. :)

Well, maybe so now. Back when I was there ( Fishkill,
Greenkill ), things were cooked fresh.
