Thank you Stoat! I live in Europe, and someone with the vision of Sheriff Joe is badly needed here. I think private prisons are only being discussed here at the moment, but prisoners have a very pampered existence at the moment. I assume Sheriff J’s establishments are private?
You're welcome :-)

Agreed. I have great concerns for the law-abiding people of Europe and of their safety from crime.

No, the facilities run by Sheriff Arpaio are part of the State of Arizona's penal system, it's not a private entity. It's taxpayer-funded, and the taxpayers love him. :-) Here is his web page, which tells a little bit more about him as well as his program:

By the way, welcome to Free Republic :-)
