I wish the Uk jails were like this.

[Carl]

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.


Sheriff Joe was just re-elected

What a fooking legend

I think most people at first glance would,but the world has far more problems to deal with than just running prisons. He would probably make an exellent controller of prisons.I wonder what he would make them wear in this country.

To be honest, I'd hate to think my nation had prisions like that.

I view the purpose of prision as somewhere to turn round the life of criminals and make them productive members of society. This is good for them, and for everyone else.

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 great lie of the prisions debate, that people are happy in prisions, and go out and commit crimes for the sole purpose of being sent to prision and live the high life. If this is true, can someone point me to the hoards of criminals that hand themself straight into police after doing crimes.

If prision was a cushy number, why do criminals try so hard not to get caught ??

I see no reform element to this guys platform, just vengence and fear.

If you try and train a dog by hitting him with a stick, it might appear to work, but when it see's it's chance it'll rip your throat out.
