I've figured out a great way to improve Canada-US relations!

We can take "Jihad" Jack Layton and ship him down south to build houses with Jimmy Carter and invent the internet with Al Gore.

In return, Canada gets Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He'd be a perfect addition to cabinet as Canada's new Justice Minister.

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."

He bought Newt Gingrich' 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 explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.


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 damned 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.


Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.


Man, and I thought Chuck Norris was cool!

In Arizona, (unlike Canada) it appears crime really doesn't pay!

And yet, recidivism and incarceration rates are virtually unchanged.....

Besides, our justice minister is just as crazy as this guy.

Arpaio is one tough sheriff with a hard lined approach in dealing with
his inmates. But who can argue with a man who has a recidivism rate of
about 16% at Tent City vs. the national average of 85%.
Well I guess
left leaning liberals can and always will argue against this kind of
treatment of inmates, simply because they can.


This tired old argument that tough law and order policies don't reduce crime is getting a bit old.

The US has had a dramatic drop in crime since the early 1990's when tough American law and order policies, spurred on by Reagan's funding of prison construction, began to take effect.

While crime has dropped marginally in Canada during the same period (mostly due to an aging population), it's been nothing on the scale of the reductions we've seen in the States.

The proof is in the pudding.

That partisan, anti-Arpaio website hardly constitutes the "truth" Delwin.

It's funded by his political opponents, and it's about as objective as the Official Tory website when it slams Paul Martin.

Oops, hadn't really gone through it, I have found a couple of exagerations, now that you mention it.

Arpaio is Da Man!!!!

Sorry, you can't have Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Besides he would be a shock to Canadians. You can have our military deserters and Jane Fonda (I would like to get a big catapult and just lob her over the border).
