Via Sheriff Joe.
You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well................
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!
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. They
feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and
walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition
and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an
animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the
care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.
The best part? His budget for the entire department is 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 shots, in great health, and
even had a microchip inserted the day we got him.. 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 copy some of his ideas. He 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 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 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. He's
kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.
TO THOSE OF 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 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 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.'
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 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!'
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.
If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it.

Yes, he did create his own animal shelter operated by inmates, but he has definitely not taken over the counties shelters nor has he saved the county any money.
Do your research. Why do people believe all the BS they see posted on FB?
I've never come across one that hadn't already been debunked by Snopes.

He didn't try to suppress the minority vote, he simply was an advocate for the law that was passed and then shot down by the Supreme Court that required a valid photo ID at the polls.
ETA: Clarity
He's not in charge of counting the votes, so he didn't lose them. And as far as poll locations changing, they change every year it seems. You can all or go online to check the location. Plus there's typically a mailer sent out, thus notification.

Maricopa County here as well. The only reason this guy is still in office is because we have a such a large population of white elderly. They are all huge Arpaio supporters!
As the grandchild of a NYPD cop I am all about inmates getting a huge downgrade in accommodations. I know they had a huge problem with the homeless committing crimes just so they could go to jail/prison and have food and shelter. That should tell you something. Maybe if it wasn't so nice they would not want to come back!
The main issue with this whole country is we would rather pump money into our prisons than into our communities to promote programs to keep people from ending up in prison in the first place.
