While I agree with this guy, our prisons need to be tougher I also think that the prisoners need to be taught trades while in prison. If we teach them, say auto mechanics or carpentry and plumbing then they could get a job in one of those fields and never need to commit a crime again. It would work better for everyone that way.

LOL, this guy is a looon. They call him "America's Toughest Sheriff", he was in the Penn and Teller BullShit! - Drug War episode.

He has NO respect for the right of these men, the guys crazy...

Lets check his credentials...

Loves HOs
"Sheriff Arpaio has been criticized for allowing his deputies and posse members to engage in sex acts during an undercover prostitution "sting". In November, 2003, Sheriff's deputies arrested over 70 people for prostitution and solicitation. The officers arrested alleged prostitutes and their customers in more than 30 homes and 10 massage parlors in the Phoenix area. Records indicated that several of the officers disrobed, fondled the breasts and genitals of the alleged prostitutes, and allowed their penises to be touched during the operation. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office stated that the Sheriff's office had gone too far in allowing this behavior, and 60 of the cases were thrown out."

Hates Mexicans
"In 2005, Arizona passed a law making it a felony, punishable by up to 2 years in jail, to smuggle someone across the border. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew P. Thomas has issued a legal opinion that those being smuggled can be considered co-conspirators to the smuggling and thusly can be charged under the same law. Under this opinion, Arpaio has instructed his deputies and members of his civilian posse to round up and arrest suspected illegal aliens. Arpaio said to Fox News, "My message is clear: If you come here and I catch you, you're going straight to jail. [...] I'm not going to turn these people over to federal authorities so they can have a free ride back to Mexico. I'll give them a free ride to my jail." [8] To date, Arpaio has arrested at least 263 people under this program.

The county attorney's legal opinion is being challenged in court. Many critics, including two of the co-authors of the Arizona anti-smuggling law, claim that Thomas and Arpaio are misusing the statute, which was meant only for human smugglers and not for migrants who are being smuggled. [10] Judge Thomas O'Toole ruled in June, 2006 that the sheriff's interpretation is correct, and the migrants can be tried as co-conspirators. However, he later ordered that several migrants be released from custody due to lack of evidence against them. Several other migrants have pleaded guilty and received probation and deportation to Mexico. So far, none of the conspiracy cases have been tried by a jury. "

Tortures so much, the British could hear it
"Arpaio has been accused of allowing the torture of inmates at his jails in a documentary from Channel 4 in Britain Channel 4. He has always insisted this is not the case, ignoring even medical evidence from inmates' deaths."

Beats blind guys into a coma
"Brian Crenshaw was a blind inmate allegedly beaten into a coma by guards working under Arpaio. Crenshaw suffered injuries that included a perforated intestine and a broken neck. He later died at a local hospital. When asked about the incident, Arpaio insisted, "The man fell off a bunk."


I'd say he's a front runner in the Republican party, as long as comes out anti-black, anti-gay, and pro-Jesus!

A friend of mine got to fly out and meet Joe Arpaio and interview him. He said he seemed like a bit of a fascist. He set my mate up big time by having a big news conference relating to a story about an Irish paedophile priest Arpaio wanted to extradite for abuses carried out in his time in Arpaio's jurisdiction. My mate knew very little about the case and was flabbergasted! I think they thought he was representing the Irish media whereas he was actually writing for an Underground Dublin-based magazine called Mongrel (http://www.mongrel.ie/)!
