Sheriff Joe Is At It Again!

[sniper7]

guy is a bad ass and should be followed by others!

He's my sheriff and I'm proud to vote for him.

I've lived in Glendale, AZ (over 12 years ago) and he was sheriff then- glad to see he's still going strong..

His programs will always piss somebody off- the ones that need to be disappointed!

If the bulk of our jails and prisons ran the way Sheriff Joe runs things I'm guessing that we'd have far fewer repeat and first time offenders. I'm not trying to imply that being in a jail or prison is a vacation, but it is compared to the way Sheriff Joe runs 'em.

Having lived in Tempe for 15 years, I loved what Sheriff Joe did. He is right on all accounts. Some people find him a bit "harsh". I have never had a run in with him, but one of my employees did. I laughed my ass off at him every day for 3 weeks on his visit to tent city for a drinking and driving infraction. They did let him out for work, but the stories from the inside were great.

By the way...My wife hates him.. HHAHAHA

I love the idea of actually having these people do something constructive and cost cutting. I always wondered why prisons didn't have large farms next door as a way to cheaply raise and harvest a portion of the food supply for the inmates by the inmates.

^^^ Didn't someone deem forced labor of inmates to be "cruel and unusual"? It upsets me when I see/hear about prisoners getting so many extras and "nice to have's" when there are hard working & law-abiding folks who can't afford those same luxuries.

I think the long term issue with getting law's to pass for this are one little issue.......( not that I agree but I can see the bleeding hearts jumping alllll over this ) .. since the majority of prisoners in this country are black ......... " forcing them " to work on a farm looks an awfully lot like slavery.

Of course the simple solution is .. don;t like it don;t go to jail .. but hey since when have liberals ever had logic ?
