On Board with Joe Arpaio, a Great American

Back to the e-mail bag, where friends have been sending me all kinds of stuff. Most of it, not "postable" for reasons I'll leave alone. But this one was too good to throw away. After reading this, your jaw will drop and you will see why this guy has been reelected sheriff over and over and over in Maricopa, Arizona.

Thanks to Tim for sending this along. We do not know where it originally appeared.

HALL OF GREAT AMERICANS:

ARIZONA SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO


Thanks to Tim for e-mailing this to us.



TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO , HE IS THE MARICOPA, ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED!.


HERE ARE SOME 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" 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's 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 crea! ted 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.


If you agree, pass this on to your friends.. If not, just delete it.


Oh yeah, Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.


Only in America ... Have a good weekend.
