RE: Congratulations!
Senator Rich,
“If you build them,
they will come.”

lamenting that the Legislature
voted to build more prisons
while cutting social programs.

“They” are future prisoners. What you are saying is that demand will expand to meet supply. I suppose it would not be incorrect to call it a half-assed Broward County version of Say’s Law.
Jeepers, but that’s dumb. The only conclusion that can be inferred is that you are dumb also.
It’s like saying that umbrellas cause rain.
It means that you have managed to get to the back nine of life without once having experienced the joy, the beauty of Logic. It is one of the hallmarks of Western Civilization. It is a gift of those DWEMs, the Dead White Males who started it all.
It also means, like a prototypical Cain, that you are marked for all eternity as modern American Liberal. Don’t despair. There are certain advantages. Facts don’t matter. Results are irrelevant. All that counts are intentions.
Reductio ad absurdum, [sorry, but that’s Latin] if you wanted to eliminate crime and save money all you would have to do would have to do would be to eliminate the police department. Do we want world peace? Scrap all our armed forces. Want to end disease? Shut down all the hospitals. Want to get rid of welfare? Stop sending out checks.
Want to save on fire insurance premiums? Close all fire departments.
This is fun.
We’ve done away with property requirements, literacy tests, and poll taxes as a prerequisite for voting.
I propose a test for potential elected officials.
Before you get to spend somebody else’s money you have to pass a simple test.
You go into an old fashioned phone booth. The kind with the door, remember?
You have to find your ass. You are allowed to use both hands. You can have mirrors taped to the walls. You can have a Life Coach giving you instructions. You have to score 2 out of 3.
Here’s a hint. Your ass is behind you.
Start studying.

Following is an aricle about Prisons the way that they should be. Perhaps we need to eliminate all the crap and follow Joe's plan. Also, our Justice system is screwed up. There are too many people that go to jail for bs offenses when perhaps they should be made to "work" on road projects or something like that instead of the State Housing them and feeding them. And then there is Gitmo! Those slime live better than middle class Amerincans. Let's treat them fairly and just put them in the "Cook County Jail".
Subject: Support Your Local Sherrif!
Gotta love this guy.....
Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
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 sp ending 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 ta ken
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
h as 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.
& nbsp; 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 YO U 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 RE ASONS 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.'
He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape 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 might expla in why a lot
of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
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 SOC KS.
'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,
& nbsp; 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.
Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County , Arizona
