You all  remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the
jail cells  pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well...
  
SHERIFF  JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!

  
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!

Maricopa County was spending approximately $18 million dollars a
year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take
the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay.

The  animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners.
They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken
out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone
who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off
the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place
in dog  shows.

The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.

I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look
at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He
has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food,
doing all the work and harvesting by hand. He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the
Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a
living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later.
We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.

Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote. Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles
with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the  border. He's kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER THIS IS ONE 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 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!'

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. If not, just delete it.

Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County , Arizona

I would vote for him, campaign for him, back him in anyway !  I think he might have a few good ideas !!!

And if he does not want to be prez ....  maybe he could be an advisor !!!!
Set up a few good plans to straighten us out in a good way !

Other states would benefit from his experiences and what he has done !  Some of
it is very harsh, but life is harsh.   I agree about the whining of the prison inmates,
let them got to Iraq or Afganistan for a few years (in return for less prison sentences and help with getting jobs when they come back )
