masmiffy 82 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Someone needs to do this in our country!!! Can we elect this guy for all England?? He gets my vote USA JAIL - SOME INTERESTING READING 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 millions of dollars on another expensive prison complex. He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. He banned smoking and pornographic 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 2007), the Associated Press reported: 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 the Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing pink boxer shorts were overheard 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." The same day 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, just delete it. Sheriff Joe was just re-elected as Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 3,709 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think in general the punnishment should fit the crime , if you kill a copper you get longer in prison if you kill a none copper you get less time , life should mean YOUR life not 5 yrs , all convicted pedo's should get locked away for ever All child killers & serial killers should get the same , if you loose your licence through drink driving you should never be allowed to drive ever again . But for petty crimes i think a good kicking should be ample, a verbal kicking if its kids & a first time offence, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEAN3513 7 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 well.......its obviously popular with the voters !!!!! we are far to soft on our prisoners.............easy option for some of them. the government could save millions............if we had chain gangs ( or similar) to carry out tasks that the local councils are responsible for.......litter picking, grass cutting, clearing road sides etc. as for the pink boxers................genius !!!! sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I like the idea, but it would never happen here. We've got the EU human rights laws to contend with, along with far too many liberal loonies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jaws66 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Why dont they get our prisoners to collect our rubish as the binmen dont seem to want to { IF WE CANT PULL THE BIN WITH 2 FINGERS THEN ITS TO HEAVY } It will save us tax payers some money . Someone I know has just sent 6 months in prison and he said it was easy . He had TV a DVD player DVDs to watch and he found it easyer to get drugs in there than outside . He said it was like butlins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gaz 284 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think in general the punnishment should fit the crime , if you kill a copper you get longer in prison if you kill a none copper you get less time , life should mean YOUR life not 5 yrs , all convicted pedo's should get locked away for ever All child killers & serial killers should get the same , if you loose your licence through drink driving you should never be allowed to drive ever again . But for petty crimes i think a good kicking should be ample, a verbal kicking if its kids & a first time offence, Kay i agree with all the above apart for the bit about someone getting longer in jail if you kill a copper rather than as you put it a non copper cmon now how do you work this out ?? id have have thought that a life took should be equally punished whether your a copper,nun or a bricky....anyhow a copper is paid well to take these risks awell as knowing the risks of the job before he puts on the badge.
