Would You Support A Sheriff Like Joe Arpaio in Your Town?

Wow. I had no idea. You think jail is a vacation?

Read more carefully please, Sky Dancer. That is not what I said.

You said you think people intentionally go to jail because of the great amenities they get there. You said jail shouldn't be a two or three week vacation. I don't think you've seen the inside of a jail. They're crowded, dangerous, they smell bad and the food stinks.

And there are people for whom regular life seems worse. Institutionalization is a well-known and documented phenomenon of human psychology.

For reasons more complicated than anybody wants to read here, I've been inside a lot of jails, most recently the Bernalillo County Detention Center on numerous occasions. I don't know what the jail you've attended was like though.

You don't know what jail I've 'attended'? I'm a psychological social worker for the Mentally Ill Offender Crime Reduction Program.

So have you 'attended' the Bernalillo County Detention Center or talked with inmates there as I have? Do you assume that your experience is the same as everybody else's is?

I do know, however, that all jails don't have all the amenities that BCDC has though it is crowded and dangerous as most jails are. A lot of the folks there though don't find that much different than their life was on the outside. The jail in Salina KS, for instance, was pretty much as you describe your experience though I don't recall the food being that bad. I never looked it up, but I'm guessing the recidivision rate there was on average pretty low.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona), who created the 'Tent City Jail,' 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, and 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 cable TV again and only let in The Disney Channel and The Weather Channel..

He cut out 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.'


With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees, 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!

The sheriff is a fucking psycho. The only difference between him and his violent offenders is he found a legal way to play out his sadism.

And yet you labor under the delusion that all people think like law-abiding, productive, middle-class members of society who abhor jail and similar institutions. Fascinating.

So you know better than the people who live there? Why don't you tell them that. I really, really want to watch this happen.

Already been in town & done that. I do bidness with some folks there. They're selling & I'm buying soooooo they damn well sit still and listen while I tell them whats what regarding fuckwad Joe.

Feel sorry for me? LOL. I have everything I ever desired. My life is actually pretty damned good, in spite of the craziness the country seems to be going through. Fact is I pity some of those on here. You are simply one of those few. And yes, you know I neg stupidity, you've received plenty of it.

No, you didn't, "sweetpea". What you shared was your opinion on what the facts must be, given that OBVIOUSLY the world is exactly the way you think it is. And when I want to hear assertions and summarizations akin to yours, I'll go spend the day at the nearest group home for the brain-damaged.

Now get the fuck on linking your data and stop wasting my time, or just admit you have nothing to back you up but the belief that you must be right.

 

[p kirkes]

Yes I would support him and his policies.

We have a progressive Sheriff who took some ideas from Sheriff Joe. More deputies, updated equipment, posse, and embued the department with a service to the community mindset. People all respect him and his department. And, we feel safe.

Arizona Violent Crime Down, Except Under Tough Anti-Immigration Sheriff

Those findings alone suggest that the systemic violence often cited as the compelling argument for stricter border laws may be overblown.


But the more telling number may be the crime statistics for the portion of Maricopa County that is under the purview of controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio. According to data compiled by America's Voice, crime in that area has actually increased 58 percent since 2002.

Interesting link.
