		<description>Arpaio &quot;gloated over the inhumane treatment he dishes out to his inmates&quot; and &quot;appeared to take a chillingly sadistic pleasure in his role as incarcerator. It was the duty of any Irish court to see that no citizen was handed over to such a regime.&quot; God says do not rejoice in thy enemies fall.Mr. Arpaio is a sinner just like anyone else.All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of god.Mr. Arpaio is hidding something.It is usually the worst of sinners that point fingers at others.If Mr. Arpaio is serious about catching criminals, then I think that is very noble of him.I would highly advise him to start with Governors, Mayors, lobbyists, congressmen and women, senators, and then perhaps in his own police department.Thank you and God bless.</description>

		<description>Absolutely right. I&#039;ve done some research and I think this is probably this guy&#039;s last year in office--- a lot of people out there hate him, even the Republicans in the area. 

If he really cared about law enforcement he&#039;d be focusing on that and not all the publicity. He looks like a child molester too.</description>

		<description>Well, I&#039;m not a republican, I&#039;m a quasiapathetical-cataclysmal solipsist which means one of these days it&#039;s all going to hell in a handbasket and I really could care less because I made you all up anyway, but even I want to punch this guy.

I mean, ok, we live in times where we may be a wee bit too coddling of our murderers.  Do prisons really need to be HD-ready with an expanded cable package?  Are the comings and goings at Wysteria Lane really part of the rehabilitation process?  Do they need decent exercise equipment?  Can anyone prove that more high school drop outs get their GEDs outside of prison than in?  I mean, if you want to change your ways, you will.  Prisons can offer an avenue for self-improvement, but I think we have a captive slave labor force and we should use it!!

But that&#039;s got nothing to do with this guy.  In a world where people are concerned about how the prisoners are treated and willing to sue the state to improve their conditions, Sheriff Joe could have stood as the ACLU&#039;s white whale.  His practices flew in the face of rehabilitation through cuddling and teddy bears and basically tried to make people go straight because prison sucked so damn bad.  It&#039;s not an idea without merit, but this guy sobs at night because they took his iron maiden.

GONNA PUT YOU IN THE CHOKEY!!!

ahem.

Any-who, his green bologna menu and spartan living for prisoners was getting him a little national acclaim, and like any moron who gets 15 minutes of fame, he tried to get another 15 minutes by topping himself.  Well, he couldn&#039;t take MORE away from the prisoners without really exposing himself to the full wrath of the people waiting for him to cross that line.  I mean, I think the lawsuit becomes pretty open and shut if it&#039;s dirt for dinner and the words &quot;bedroom&quot; and &quot;outhouse&quot; are used for the same hole in the ground.  So he orchestrates nonsense to get his name out there more, and he does it with the deft touch of a teenager at his first boob.  Railroading this kid would have just been step one.  Step two would have involved blowing up his own jail and walking around with his arm stuck inside his T-shirt so he could claim dismemberment.  He went from an laudable anomaly to a laughable clown.

And he was going to count on it spreading virally, too.  THANK YOU, INTERWEBS!  Word gets around, video gets around, Maury and Oprah fight over a sheriff Joe appearance...and he gets another 15 minutes of fame.  You&#039;re a freaking po-dunk sheriff, be happy that you got noticed the first time, you redneck tool.

I think convicts deserve to be protected from abuse from each other and the guards, afforded reasonable nutrition, and opportunity to move beyond the ways that put them there in the first place.  As far as living conditions, I don&#039;t see why they should be better off than most of the people living under the poverty line, let alone the squalor 3rd world countries.  Luxuries are earned.  I mean, reality check is, we aren&#039;t SERIOUSLY going to give them a second chance anyway, why go broke giving them false hope?</description>
