That would be tremendous! I wonder how he has managed to keep the ACLU at bay? I thought that it was their firmly held contention that prisoners all had a 'right' to porn, TV, smoking, etc.
Just dug up a Lou Dobbs interview with Joe Arpaio from Oct. of '05:
ARPAIO: "Well, I don't care what they [the ACLU] say. We're legal. I do things legally. They don't like it, that's tough. In fact, my polls go up every time they blast me. So they can blast me every night."
(Full interview about 3/4 of the way down the page).
Googling "ACLU, Arpaio" brought of several links. They've been been after him for a long time. .....unsuccesfully.
Probably by pointing out that the conditions endured by the inmates are not that different than what this nations service members are enduring in the litter box of Iraq & that porn is detrimental to the maintenance of good order in the jail as it is fought over ,coffee has zero nutritional value same for tobacco .
The food is not rotting just past its freshest sell by date & is still therefore fit to eat.
Inmates are not physically abused are rewarded with simple work details outside the jail & are connected by leg irons to three other prisoners to prevent attempted escape & the required use of deadly force to keep said inmate in custody as is required by law.
