Oh, there's so MUCH
more to know about Sheriff Joe that the
more to know about Sheriff Joe that the
mainstream media will not report !
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.

He has literally taken stray dogs
off the street, given them to
the care of prisoners,
the care of prisoners,
and had them place in dog shows.
The best part?
His budget for the entire
departmentis 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

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
the jail system and
copy some of his ideas.
He has a huge farm,
donated to the county yearsago,
where inmates can work,
and they grow most
of their own fresh vegetables
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 re-elected last year
he was re-elected 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.
folks back to the border.
He's kind of a 'Git-R-Dun'
kind of Sheriff.
TO THOSE OF
YOU NOT FAMILIAR
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
** He has jail meals down to 40 cents
a serving and charges
the inmates for them.
** He stopped smoking
and porno magazines in the jail.
** 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
court order that required
cable TV for jails,
so he hooked up the cable TV again.....
BUT 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'sgonn a 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."

With temperatures being
even hotter than usual in Phoenix

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 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,

taxpayers' money and enjoy things
