The year I spent in Joe Arpaio’s tent jail was hell. He should never walk free.

Washington Post holds this man up as a hero - a drunk driver who was in our country illegally. Disgusting. I hope he will be deported and permanently barred from reentry.

The rules of the tent city were strict, arbitrary and brutally enforced.

Wait a minute. How could rules be arbitrary and brutally enforced at the same time?

Just one question, Francisco (if that’s your REAL name), did you ever do anything to warrant going back?

Shutting off our welfare state is more important than a physical wall.

Any sort of welfare should only be for US citizens born of two US citizen parents...hey, that sounds familiar :-)

If we do not feed. clothe, house and care for their medical needs they WILL NOT come...and if we stop doing those things THEY WILL LEAVE.

The conditions sound grim, but jail is not supposed to be a pic-nic.
This may be intended as Aversion Therapy, to keep recidivism rates low. If the methods were truly inhuman, we would have heard about numerous people dying or the prisoners being sued by relatives.

All that said, it’s a wonder that Sheriff Arpaio and his family have lived in the area and can still walk the streets unharmed. Perhaps he has round the clock protection, or had it.
I consider him a hero, but those methods will provide you with a lot of enemies.

Should have sent him to Guantanamo, or a Mexican Prison.


Yup. And anyway, the whole account could be, and probably is, riddled with every kind of lie, distortion, exaggeration and misrepresentation imaginable.

This is how all persons convicted of illegal activity should be treated.

What’s this guy’s issue, again?

I was in so much pain that winter that now, when I’m cold, it reminds me of being there.

Congratulations - that was the whole point of the exercise.

Did I miss the Waterboarding part?

It’s amazing the guy is still breathing and has enough Brain Cells left to pen the Article.

Of course, if given the chance the Liberals would do much worse to Conservatives if they could get away with it.

Yep, the whole point of jail should be you never want to ever go back there again.

Takes "scared straight" to a whole new level.

I wonder if this whiny little beotch ever committed another crime, especially in Arpaio’s jurisdiction. Prison isn’t supposed to be fun, it is supposed to be punishment. If you are unwilling to pay the price, then don’t steal from people or commit acts of violence.

I find it very hard, if not impossible, to feel sorry for this sob. However, I do feel very sorry for an 85 year old man who did his level best for several decades to keep the citizens of his County safe from predators like this SOB. He was rewarded by vindictive, leftist president and attorney general with a criminal investigation and a conviction on made-up charges. That will forever stay in his good name, fate which he did not deserve. I cannot even begin to express how happy I am that Trump pardoned him. I’d love to see Dinesh D’Souza pardoned next, as he was another political victim of the Obama Just Us Department.

Good!! I'm Glad. I wish the good sheriff was 20 years younger so he could continue his good work. He probably does too.

This was first posted at 8:20 this morning. I wonder how many more times the pink pantys are going to post this and continue whining?

Do the crime and do the time.

They should be happy I’m not running Joe’s Jail.
There’d be:
No Conjugal Visits
No TV
No Radio
No Books
No Computers
No Heating or Air Conditioning

Meals would come from a dog food bag.
