An Arizona sheriff famous for making inmates wear pink underwear has rolled out a uniform change at Maricopa County jails: American flags are now stitched onto the striped jail suits.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio assigned military veterans to hand out the new uniforms. The change went into effect on Monday, Independence Day.

I would rather that degenerate miscreants not sport the flag of my country.

likely soon arpaio will be sued and have to put on flags of each inmates home country, or the country they currently choose to identify with.

What flag would be on hellary’s orange suit?

Not sure the point to the flag on prisoner’s clothes. The Mexicans are not prisoners-of-war, they are NOT Americans. I’d prefer the remain anonymous in jail or unceremoniously dumped back across the border (once they’ve served their sentences—or jailed indefinitely if they don’t get a hint that they are not welcome here and should not try returning).

She gets to choose, of course! Isn’t that what’s “fair” and would make her “feel good about her self” (which is what some people think america is all about)

I applaud Joe, stitching on American flags :) He’s always finding new ways to do right by the USofA!

I guess if they're Mexican and it angers them, it's worth it, maybe?

Probably not the best use of resources.

I’m guessing that a mexican would hate to wear something with an American Flag on it.

Other than a military uniform, I have never worn clothing with our flag, and I never will. I consider it disrespectful.

[Does so]

Maybe they’re being attached up-side down? ;)

If they are Mexicans here illegally then they should just be shot. Non-uniformed enemy combatants are allowed to be shot as spies according to the Geneva Convention.
