Subject: USA JAIL - SOME INTERESTING READING
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE 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 million of dollars on another expensive prison complex.

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for 
them

He banned smoking and porno 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), 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 pink boxer shorts were 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."

Wednesday 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.
