We Need This Guy As Prime Minister

[freestyler_onli]

This guy gets my vote. If only our Home Secretary would take note!


TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPA 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.



If you agree, pass this on. If not, you are a namby-pamby liberal

bed-wetter so just delete it.



Sheriff Joe was just re-elected Sheriff in Maricopa County ,

And yet the crime rate in Maricopa County doesn't seem to be dropping as radically as those statements suggest.

Violent crime rates are down slightly yet property crime is on the increase.

Arpaio can go take a running jump, nothing but a stupid publicity whore.

As long as they are nutrionally sound and take into account individual requirements (for instance, religious) I can't see a huge problem here. However, given how much trouble schools have been having trying to lower the cost of dinners *and* make them healthy I'm just not sure that's viable here either.

and? British army has a daily meal budget of 36p , I recall the pre Iraq war propaganda where they had an army chef go on a TV cook show, the chef was asked by the host how much per soldier per day he said 36p,

sure they can buy in ultra bulk , but if you can feed a man to FIGHT for 36p a day , surely for prisoners who don't fo half as much work put it down to abour £1 a week? ,

From another thread, Mister James who works in a place a bit like a prison, said that he wouldnt like to work in a place that took away luxuries from prisoners as they would be hell to work with.

If this bloke is a publicity whore, at least hes good at it.

I particularly like "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."

I certainly think that getting prisoners to do useful work to offsett the cost of keeping them is a good idea.

I also think some prisoners might move somewhere else after gettting caught, so if they do get caught again, they'd go to a nicer jail.

It has always seemed odd to me that someone convicted of a violent crime is allowed to use weights to increase their ability to be violent.

He's a vicious nazi thug and he'll end up shot.

I definitely agree with the weights thing, when people have a lot of spare time they fill it with activities, why let them fill it with an exercise which will give them stronger weapons to re-offend with when they're out? If they want to exercise they can jog. Strawberry, I don't see how walking around picking up rubbish is the same sort of exercise.

He sounds like a hard bastid to the inmates, and they probably have a hell of a time with those sorts of rules. But the alternative is one where we suffer for their crimes, so I think he's on the right tracks, even if it's a little extremist. If prisons were tougher, people might think twice about the crimes they commit.

Violent criminals/murderers shouldnt be treated well at all. Locking the fuckers up and throwing away the key and feeding them nothing but bread and water would also be a good method.

Would be fine if a lot of the laws that put the people in prison in the first place were not so retarded.

I can't help but spot some flaws in what you say!!

We should all stick it to the government and go robbing!

There will be sod all to nick! No one will have any money to buy anything for others to steal and even if they did, it wouldn't matter as there would be nothing to buy as no one is making anything!

Yes tax is high in this country, if it botheres you that much, there are lpenty of planes and boats you can take so you don't have to put up with it any more.

If you feel your getting crap money, do something about it, put in some work and better yourself and get a better job. You might be all against taxes and big corporations but I bet if, god forbid, you have a nasty off on the bike you'll be bloody gratefull for that hospital that's funded by taxes and those drugs made by the big corporations!

Yeah, because every person in prison is in there because they're 'sticking it to the man'. They're in there because they decided working within the democratic system was a spineless thing to do. What a load of tripe! 99% of the people in there are in there because they were either greedy, violent or dishonest. The other 1%? Probably in for traffic offences.

The people you want every prison inmate to be is the Western version of Nelson Mandela, someone who's actually in prison for a cause they believe in, a political prisoner who's actually in there for unselfish reasons. And I doubt there's any political prisoners in a country where oppression is so frowned upon.
