Sheriff Joe Arpaio

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPACOUNTY 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 assaultinnocent 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 fordiscrimination.

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 toldthem, '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 2nd2007), the Associated Press reported: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbedwiresurrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to theirgovernment-issued pink boxer shorts.

On theWednesday, hundreds of men wearing pink boxer shorts were overheardchatting 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 2years 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 too, and they have to walk all day in the sun, wearing full battle gear and get 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 spaces.

RESPECT!!!
 
Wish they had the guts to do it in this country...

...too many fluffy liberals for my liking
 
well done. I only wish that we would do it here and make them all wear pink and make them strip down to their grundys when it is freezing bloody cold, not that we get the searing heat that arizona gets.
 
but it could infringe on their human rights
so fxxxing what, we always tend to follow the yanks, well at least when Tony was in, we will have to wait and see
 
Kill 'em all let God sort 'em out

And pray tell what should we do with the likes of the Northern Rock criminals - you know the ones that take BILLIONS from us. Give them smaller tents perhaps and turn the heat up?
 
I'd vote for him. The bloke has got it exactly right.

Unfortunately can't see it catching on in this country though. Spineless b@$tards who make the rules wouldn't dare possibly treat those being cared for at the expense of the tax payer the way they should be treated
 
The news last night summed this country up for me, who's gonna give evidence against a contract killer now FFS :mad2:
 
he would get my vote aswell to many do gooders in this country making excuses for these peoples behaviour if all jails were like this it might put people off crime
 
nice to see how right wing New Labour has turned every body! Remember Willie Whitelaw and Norman Tebbitt's proposed short sharp shocks and boot camps??

don't seem to remember it being 'fluffy liberals' that opposed it but the heartland of labour and labour voters How times change.

Rob the working man of every last vestige of his dignity and pilfer as much as you can for yourself and at worst you might get Ernest Saunders old bed in some cosy holiday camp for a couple of months, a 7 figure pay off, a peerage and a job as Mandelsons right hand man(!) in brussels

lose your job and don't pay your council tax and its stalag luft 17 for you laddy

I'm gonna go buy shares in Zyclon B just in case
 
how is it that this region is a labour party stronghold yet everyone i seem to talk to or the lads that have posted on here seem to have fairly right wing views? and i agree with them by the way! just a thought. Robert Mugabe didnt organise the voting round here did he?

and thats nothing like the actually labour party these days is it :o
 
A short arse, failed artist, twisted little hitler type with a hitler type moustache came to power in Europe within living memory. The people of his country were suffering from a major economic depression, immigrants were blamed, the equivalent back then of the EU / NATO were held up as the cause of all ills. He came to power with a few little sneaky tweaks to the electoral rules and a rabid hatred of bearded lefties. His name I seem to remember was Mr. A. Dolf Hitler. Box on lads one day you might get just what you're asking for - again.

:mad:
 
i think hes is just taking the approach that the vast majority of people would agree with and not giving a toss what the load mouth do gooders think! i wonder what the rate of re-offending is for the lads that have been guests of sheriff joe is? anyway ell just bcos we express right wing views doesnt mean to say we will be goose-stepping over the wearmouth bridge on the way to greggs in the bridges! However was not A.dolf a right-wing socialist!! oh and he bombed me granny!
