"The Classification Unit conducts background checks on inmates before they are housed in the tents, so that dangerous or predatory individuals are not placed there."

"Arpaio calls drugs the greatest driver of crime in the nation. With that, he has instituted a program called ALPHA. The drug program for inmates results in a recidivism rate among graduates in the area of only 13-15%. Arpaio also runs a high school/GED program and an English speaking program."

"Sheriff Joe Arpaio's no-kill animal shelter, MASH, was created to house and care for animals that have been abused or neglected by their caretakers and rescued by the Animal Cruelty Investigative Unit. The purpose of the shelter is to provide a safe, healthy and healing shelter for these tragic animals, who must necessarily await the outcome of their owners' cruelty cases in court. Hopefully, their ultimate outcome will be adoption into loving, permanent homes.

The first shelter opened by Sheriff Arpaio is in the First Avenue Jail, located at First Avenue and Madison Street, Phoenix, Arizona. This 30-year-old jail previously held inmates, but was closed for repairs to plumbing in December 1999. Though no longer suitable for housing inmates, the jail looks like paradise to the four-footed victims now housed and recovering there.

The MASH location in the First Avenue Jail is air-conditioned, and the cells have been reconditioned to comfortably house animals. Some critics have said that it's inhumane to put dogs and cats in air-conditioned quarters when inmates don't have air conditioning. A good answer came from one of the inmates assigned to care for the dogs. When asked if she was resentful about not having air conditioning, she gestured to some of the dogs and said, 'They didn't do anything wrong. I did.'"

"Many participants have personally thanked the detention staff and Sheriff Arpaio, saying the chain gang provided a real sense of discipline, something many inmates haven’t had for much of their lives. In fact, there is usually a waiting list of inmates wanting to participate."

“Inmates should never live better inside our jails than they do on the outside because, simply put, jails are not hotels.”

I'm not impressed.

Of course, I wouldn't be suprised if the father that held his daughter in the cellar for 24 years gets to live there.

Reba

I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised either. Maybe he'll get "rehabilitated".


Not.

I didn't know you're masochist...

I believet that jails should give inmates the bare minimums required to live. It chaps my ass to know that felons are getting free cable TV, private cells, and free food and are allowed to lay around all day to do nothing. While the rest of us law abiding tax payers are working everyday and unfortunately our tax money goes to these prisoners that simply choose a life of crime to get these luxuries.

I hope not. No, he will never get rehabilitated if he never get out of prison. (I hope the court agrees to lock him rest of life).

Some do.

I have known someone who did, in fact.

I suppose you would rather pay taxes to beef up security for quelling prison riots instead.

I have a better idea. Make jail useful, and keep people who don't belong in it, out of it. And stop prison crime, too.

Yup! Too much fancy for a prison. lol

sorry to hear about that. what's your stepson in for?

jenni-m

Sorry for my above post... but.

People need to see both ways, a bit, I think.

1. There is no 'private cell' in a prison. Individual cells are provided to separate prisoners for safety purposes, not give privacy (prisoners have no privacy, the room can be raided at any time, and searched)

2. Prisoners still have basic human rights, (in the USA, at least) so they will have some 'luxuries', especially to help cut down riots and poor conditions (and plus, due to human rights activists and lawyers)

3. Making them work would be a good idea, they do try to make them work (prisons don't clean them selves, some run farms, or manufacture things, etc) but it is hard to make a prisoner work without having problems with point #2. They tend to feel that being locked up is more than enough.
