“Because Joe Arpio is an American who still believes in second chances and rehabilitation.”

Great.Second changes and rehabilitation on taxpayers’ money. And we know how that turned out - half of the flags covered in feces.

Sounds like you’ve never hunted rattlers. You pump something noxious into their lairs. Something they hate, like gasoline. Then they come crawling out.

Sheriff Joe was just smoking out a few rattlers. Now that they are identified, they are on bread and water. The flag in the cell is about having them self-identify for further communication and intervention.

IIRC (from reading about Sheriff Joe over several years), Sheriff Joe decided at one point it was too expensive for the taxpayer to allow the prisoners to sleep in the jail building, especially when U.S. troops were overseas with less.

So, he moved the prisoners outside to a tent city and they were only allowed in the jail building once a week to clean it.

Then he realized more taxpayer money could be saved by not allowing the prisoners coffee and cut hot meals to twice a day (or once?), with lunch being bread and bologna.

He tried to cut their cable, but apparently, Kongress had decided cable tv was a "right" and made it a law......so, the prisoners can watch two channels (something silly).

The prisoners' uniforms are pink; pink jumpsuits, pink socks, pink underwear.

And the prisoners do manual labor. Sheriff Joe's "rehabilitation program," isn't the Disney World version liberals fantasize for prison and my understanding, Sheriff Joe does it on the cheap. - The prisoners are not having a good time.
