someday, I hope to have Joe sign a pair of pink underwear. he’s a tough old guy. probably live longer than I will. the pink undies stopped the criminals from stealing them and plenty of psycho studies showing pastels calm people.
he’s a softy about animals (has a great abused animal “no kill” shelter in the jail and prisoners get skills helping with the animals) and he runs a high school in the jail. he doesn’t get any props for those programs by the drive-by media.
his “chain gangs”? the prisoners volunteer. who the heck wouldn’t want to get out of jail and do a part in cleaning up the State of rubbish?
He’s “Old School American” and that rates highly with me.
Hell, I wish more Sheriffs were like him all across the country.
