As someone responding to your comment pointed out, this is at the county
level ...In the past, states prisons have had chain gangs but where and how
did he get the authority to develop his own private penal system? ...and yet
this is what he has IN FACT done ...with much approval from his ...uhmmm..
peers. One can say what they want about rules, the constitution, law and on
and on... but this is in existence in Arizona and is a daily reality for
THOUSANDS of people living in that area.
I have found a site whose mission is to inform about why Joe should be
recalled:
http://www.arpaio.com/
There is even a wikipedia article about the man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio
Here is a blog written by a person who is being held by Joe and his gang:
http://jonsjailjournal.blogspot.com/ He has to handwrite his blog entries
and mail them to his relatives who do the key entry and get it online. Here
are some interesting tidbits:
"Kathleen asked about spiderbites at Arpaio's gulags.
My guardian angel protected me from bug bites but I witnessed many. The
Arpaio regime's policy was not to treat insect bites which consequently
became deeply infected pus-filled wounds. It was left to inmates to squeeze
the pus out - an activity that provided regular entertainment and a picnic
type atmosphere. I attended several such events and helped gather toilet
paper and salt.With skin and eye infections I wasn't so lucky. I had
continual bleeding bedsores, fungal skin infections and pink eye infections.
During the summer months, the cells we were cooped up in acted like clay
ovens. Slow roasting in pools of our own sweat most of us developed skin
infections."
"My new co-habitants are enduring the twin evils of a broken swamp-cooler
and a cockroach infestation. They are proving to be the crème de le crème of
good sufferers. A neighbouring asthmatic inmate happily described how he
inhaled a cockroach that had crept into his nebulizer. He could feel the
insect crawling around inside him and promptly vomited his stomach contents.
Unfortunately the cockroach was not ejected, as it was lodged in his lung.
He was subsequently awarded "sufferer of the week" without any real
competition. *
* "Sufferer of the week" was an idea of mine that has delighted and
distracted my fellow inmates. The title is given to the inmate who the rest
of the pod feel has suffered most."
A 70-year-old inmate downstairs was the first victim of the soaring
temperatures. He was carried from the pod on a stretcher after suffering
from chest pains.
"On Sunday, our drinking water turned orange-brown. The tawny colouring
lasted for 3 days. I relied on the half-pint of fat-free milk that is served
at breakfast to quench my thirst.
On Tuesday morning, whilst I was sitting on the throne, about to wipe, my
cell door slid open and I was accosted by the bug-spray man and his
beefy-armed guard. "Get on your mattress!" ordered the guard. "We'd like to
refuse being sprayed, "I protested, still sitting on the toilet, waving the
toilet paper I was about to use at him. " GET ON YOUR MATTRESS!" he
commanded sternly as he gripped his weapon menacingly. For a brief second I
wanted to respond by clutching the toilet roll in a spaghetti western
manner, but the odds were stacked against yours truly, so I pulled up my
pants and I retreated to my mattress. Our tiny cell is sprayed every month,
against our wishes, with us in it. We inevitably ingest some of the spray
product, and we feel sick and dizzy afterwards. After 2 years I am quite
used to the cockroaches and I feel that the chemicals in the spray are, by
far, the greater evil. The spraying has had little, if any, effect on the
cockroach population."
"We have had no running water for 3 days now. The toilets in our cells are
full of faeces and urine. On the second day of the water outage, I knew that
we were in trouble, as the mound in our steel throne peaked above sea level.
Inmates often display remarkable ingenuity during difficult occasions and
the current crisis resulted in a number of my brethren defecating in the
small plastic bags that the mouldy breakfast bread is served in. These bags
were then disposed of in the trash cans downstairs which helped to diminish
the poop pile-up in our cells."
These are just a few of the many comments I found on that particular blog.
Sickening isn't it? Though I don't typically condone violence, especially
murder, my opinion is if something happened to Joe (who hires bodyguards and
has had at least one attempt made on his life) ...the world would not be too
much the worse for it. (and for the cop jocks and federals who monitor these
kind of forums: that would be "yes" ...you read that right. No need to spy
on me to find out what I think ...just ask. At the very least he needs a
life-sentence subject to the kind of conditions that he has had no problem
subjecting others to. Remember: do unto others as you would have them do
unto you.)
But for our final stop on this brief tour let us go to the sheriff's dept.
website itself:
Keeping the comments from the above blog entry in mind ...dirty water,
cockroaches and all ...consider of this statement found under the new jails
section of the website:
"The New Jail Construction Unit is headed by Captain Charles Johnson and
Captain Frank Waelde, Jail Planning Coordinators, and is comprised of
Sergeant Arthur Fay, Assistant Jail Planning Coordinator and Officer Karl
Schubert, Jail Planning and Construction Liaison. They work under a mandate
from Sheriff Arpaio to build the best-designed and constructed jails in the
world."
In the WHOLE WIDE WORLD ..the BEST jails ...funny idea about what best means
to a man like Joe Arpaio!
On the "new jails" page they state:
"The first new major facility is the 4th Avenue Jail, a new mid-rise
high-security jail. It will be located west of the existing Madison Street
Jail. This facility will contain 1,360 cells, including 144 special
management cells for the close custody (Super Max) inmates. The facility
will also house the new Central Intake facility, capable of handling 600
bookings every 12 hours.
AND
The second new facility planned is the Lower Buckeye Jail. This facility
will have 1,867 cells divided into four separate areas in the building. The
first is a 504-cell juvenile remand facility, a 960-cell adult max sentenced
facility, a 256-cell psychiatric facility and a four dorm adult minimum
facility."
Consider of this: They are bragging that they are ADDING 3227 cells and can
book up to 600 people ...HUMAN STOCK.... in 12 hours ...That's 1200 people a
day! That's 36,000 people a month or 432,000 people a year. These new 3227
cells will bolster the shortage of space amongst the various other jails:
Durango: 1700 inmate capacity
Madison Street Jail: 1500 inmates
Tent City Jails: 1400 inmates
Now I don't know how many inmates will be assigned to each of the new 3227
cells but even if its only two per cell, then Joe will be able to easily
house a total of over 11,000 inmates!
Just looking at these figures, either Phoenix and the surrounding area has a
serious crime wave or there is something else very, very wrong indeed.
