SHERIFF JOE (of Phoenix), IS AT IT AGAIN !
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!
Maricopa County was spending approx. $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.
Update on Joe Arpaio
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 darned 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.
