Dear Fellow Republican:
Please join us at the ....... (LEFT OUT FOR PRIVACY OF MY COMMUNITY) Republican meeting on Mon Feb 25 at 7:00pm

Meet Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Maricopa County, Arizona

Sheriff Joe 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 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. Arpaio 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.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio created the "Tent City Jail": He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving. 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. He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value. When the inmates complained, he told them, drinker "this isn't the Ritz/Carlton.....if you don't like it, don't come back."drinker Lindyy says: LOVEIT LOVEIT LOVEIT drinker drinker

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix at 116 degrees, the Associated Press reported recently that about 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail were given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

"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 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!" Lindyy says "WAY TO GO SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO!!!"


I will be at my Republican meeting and cannot wait to meet this All American Sheriff!

You left out that you only get 2 meals in 24 hrs... 7am and 7pm and if you're being processed, you're lucky to get one meal. You also left out that the meals of bologna sandwiches are with stale bread, slimy bologna, and almost moldy cheese. lol

I had to go there once, thank God I only had 24 hrs, but it taught me my lesson. Joe Arpaio is tough, but in all fairness, he is EXTREMELY fair, considering how many luxuries prisoners are afforded after they've broken the law for whatever reason. I think any good dad would treat their kids with tough love like his.

Young lady, I give you great respect. Not too many individuals would admit to having been there. Glad it taught you something positive and it appears you have become a great citizen.

Some would say it's a stupid move on my part, but I am happy to say that it was a life-changing experience for me and helped push me toward several positive changes that led me to be a very happy woman! Thanks for the compliment. I just hope plenty others learn from their mistakes, too :smile:

I had no idea about his farm, though. That makes me respect him all the more. Thanks for sharing this postflowerforyou

I was in OPP for a bit and on the way out the jail they'd sell you a t shirt saying you survived the OPP..it was a nasty place and only 3 hours of fresh air and sunlight a week....the prison was wiped out by Katrina.....glasses

"OPP has a long history of cruelty and neglect when it comes to the health and safety of its inmates, which explains why the prison has for years been subject to numerous federal court-ordered consent"
