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 but 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 mouths!"
