Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the tent city jail 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 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.
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 1/2 years. "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. |

| What is the purpose of making them wear pink? Obviously this guy is doing it for the humiliation element and just wants to attract attention. |

You're right it is for the humiliation factor, but it is simple to avoid, don't commit a crime and you won't go there. I have zero sympathy for the idiots in the jail. As the say goes, If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. |

Precisely. "If you don't like it here, don't come back!" |
