I remember when the activist groups went after Sheriff Joe because he had the men under his control for various indescretions working on chain gangs, breaking rocks.
They complained that it was too hard on the men and it wasn’t fair because the women didn’t have to do it.
Within a week, Sheriff Joe had the women out in the hot sun, on a chain gang, breaking rocks.
I think his recidivism rate is about 6%.
Once you have done your time under Sheriff Joe, you don’t want to get in trouble in Maricopa County EVER again.
I also recall that some groups went after Joe because he was feeding Oatmeal for breakfast and a peanut butter/jelly sandwich for lunch. They said it wasn’t nutritious enough, etc. More charges of ‘cruel and unusual punishment.
Joe brought in a dietician. She compared what Joe was feeding his prisoners against a number of other prisons all over the country.
Joe’s came out on top. It was costing less than $1 a day to feed Joe’s prisoners, also.
He realized that his underwear budget was being hammered. Then he realized that most of the illegals & Mexicans who came to spend some quality time with Joe were walking out on their release day with 5-6-7 pairs of underwear under their clothes. It was the best underwear they had ever owned.
Joe then got all his underwear purchases dyed pink. Suddenly, not so much underwear was going out the door, with released prisoners looking like they were wearing diapers.
I love Joe.
I wish we could clone him & put him into office all over the country.
I think he would make a great Attorney General in Washington.
I heard about the pink underwear but didn’t know the origins. Thanks!
I love love love Sheriff Joe. I love his brain. He’s a perfect representation of what parents were like in the good ol’ days.
Why is he not our President?
I bet it’d take him less than one year to set this country straight.
