 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 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'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' lecture series on videotape that he
pipe 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
curle 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 1/2 years. It's inhumane.
 Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city
and long 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! 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
 
 
I dunno if any of you heard about the killings down here in Deltona that happen over the weekend, 6 people and a dog were killed with Baseball bats and knives over a X-box system. The man who was the ring leader, should of not been on the streets, He had broken his probation, by breaking into one of the victims grandparents home and was let out on a 2500 bail.  Not to go into full details, its a very sad this happen and it makes no sense and my heart goes out to the families of the victims. But I think if the prison system was harder, maybe it would keep some repeat offenders, from being repeat offenders.

He should just make them all do their 25-to-life right here on the board, chatting with Neumie. That'll make 'em all want to never be naughty again.

We can call it "SCARED STRAIGHT". The only TV channel they will get is Fox News and the only thing that they will ever get to eat is crow....just like Neumie.

Well, I think ALL jails should be like that. They were untill some liberal baby boomers decided to fight for prisoners rights.
 
Jail should be HELL. You should never want to do the crime again. Now its just like a bragging right, and you can get a law degree during your stay.
 
GO JOE.......not our Joe, but ARIZONA JOE!!

Careful girl....you may just wind up as one of those Texans who has to rot in jail until the DNA evidence finally proves you totally innocent 10 years later. It would be nice to have some books to help you fight your defense rather than just a chain and the Disney channel.

And if by "OUR JOE" you mean your's and Neumie's Joe...then BACK OFF, because he belongs to fins and me, NOT YOU!
