Sheriff Joe Arpaio's 10 Craziest Moments

choice maricopa county sheriff, eh?

choice maricopa county jail, right?

We support Joe!!!!

There are THOUSANDS of inmates who are non-violent 'drug offenders' and even more who are WRONGFULLY incarcerated due to the rampant corruption of the police. This is supposed to be a FREE country - I can't believe how many of these comments are people who THRIVE on watching others suffer - people they don't even know. Yes there are some terrible criminals out there, but MOST are not. We have the highest prison pop**ation in the world and our prisons make a ton of money for each inmate they get. Just think of what that implies. Sorry - asking you to think for yourself may be asking too much. Just wait until it is YOU or your wife who is arrested for pissing off the wrong pig. Our money should not be going to pay for incarcerating ANY non-violent people, let alone giving someone a salary to torture people. I can think of a billion better things in which to invest.

All LE needs to take pointers from this man! If you are a criminal you should be treated as such, you chose your life of crime and to be an insufferable scumbag instead of learning from the hardships in your life and working to rise above it to become a better person and a productive member of society, you chose this life, now suffer the consequences!

I had to laugh when I read Lynn's answer. Most of what she said is true, but NOT about the medical care, all inmates have medical staff if needed.

wow, you sure go out of your way to protect criminals, don't you? look, sheriff joe and his guys may have crossed the line a few times. to be honest i didn't know about the paraplegic guy, but given the language in this article i'm going to go ahead and assume there is something you are leaving out. even so, if he's doing anything illegal why is he still the sheriff? the lawsuits aren't his fault, that's the people mad at him for upholding the LAW. this is not a city drunk tank we're talking about, it's a state maximum security prison. these aren't traffic offenders, they are felons. i may not agree with some of the things he's done, and in fact do think some of them are pretty bad, but in the end he is treating criminals like criminals and not like decent human beings. these are rapists, murderers, gang members, the worst of the wrost and you are complaining because he makes them wear pink underwear? i'll tell you what, if you volunteer to take some of these criminals into your home so they don't have to endure sheriff joe you go right ahead. i'm perfectly content to let these murderous lawbreakers rot in their tents.

how can u guy be so harsh? yes ppl commit crimes and depending on the severity must face certain penalties but some of these comments are way out of line. i can only wonder, either its a bunch of kids on here, racists and bigots, or ppl filled with hate. you guys say these things and believe them because you feel benevolent and no one matters but yourself, the course of history shows progress cannot be stopped and hate is not progress. i wish i could talk to each one of you face to face to try and understand youre feelings of hate. i know i would get no where, ppl with hate in their only posses the weapon of vulgarity. if thiese where ppl that you loved how would you feel.

This guy should run every jail in North America. Stop catering to these low life. If you do the crime lets make every convict do this Mans time. Betcha crime rates go down as well as repeat offenders

Arizona is the black hole of the United States, sucking us back 60 yrs when African Americans were "N****rs" and latin americans were "spics" . Wait til race wars break out. The voting white minority will have their throats slit. This guy should be hung in a basement will nobody watching.

That redneck hillbilly Sheriff is WAY to full of himself. I am truly surprised someone hasnt takin him out yet

The tactics Joe Arpaio uses are inhumane and borderline insane. I can attest as a former guest of the "tent city". I had heard the claims of ignoring medical needs before, and I experienced them first hand. I spent 30 days in the tents after getting a DUI in Arizona. Now before the critics say it, I agree. I did the crime. I was guilty. I deserved the punishment. I did think it a bit harsh, however, to be put in tents with drug runners, illegal aliens, and more serious criminals like gang members and burglars. A couple weeks into my stay in the disgustingly filty tents - using portable toilets that were never emptied the whole time I was there, I developed pink eye and a pretty nasty cough. I was told to submit a medical request form by sliding a form I filled out under a door, and wait to be called. I did that for 3 days before they called me... but not for medical attention. They called me to put me to work in the kitchen! This continued every day for another week until finally one day, when taking my group to work in the kitchen, the other inmates refused to be handcuffed to me because both my eyes were swollen shut and I was couging up phlegm constantly. The guards took me to medical care after that where I was diagnosed with severe pink eye in both eyes, strep throat, a sinus infection, and an inner ear infection. Amazingly, the next day, all my previous medical request forms were returned to me... backdated, along with a note chastizing me for not reporting when called. The bottom line is, my medical needs were IGNORED until the issue was forced and I became a liability.

Love this guy... Over the top in some cases but inspiring... I wish all jails were like this in the USA... it would lower the tax burden on those of us who plan to... and generally do a pretty good job of staying out of Jail...

Sheriff Joe for governor! The man is inspiring.
