With all the get tough little strutting peacocks like DEEWayne out there this election season, it's a wonder poor ol' Joe can get any work done.

Reckon he's got one of them life size cutout photos set up for all the lil bantys to strut with?

Pulaski County needs a Sheriff like Joe Arpaio. Then those little darlins we let go loose would wish they had never held up that McDonald's when they spend a few days in his jail..

Let's remember from my Scottsdale days-
1. The area only gets about 9 inches of rain a year and it usually comes on two days in about 20 minutes each time. There are no sleet or ice storms or even winter sometime. Does Dee-Wayne really want to imply that a federal lawsuit is what the state should be seeking on prisoner treatment.

2. The Phoenix prisoners ate "green" balogna. I thought that we already had a medical cost issue in the jails.

3. The prisoners wore pink underware since Arpaio didn't want the prisoners taking the underware home with them. Maybe okay. How about distinctive colors for outerwear like the bright orange jump suits worn in Faulkner County?

4. While it may get to 120 degrees in AZ, the humidity is so low except during the monsoon season that it is actually far more comfortable there than here in mid-July with the 80% humidity. The prisoners might actually appreaciate AZ weather since you feek cooler since your sweat evaporates almost instantantly. Won't happen here and a few heat stroke cases getting publicity will certainly help the Litte Rock image (and don't think that Pilaski County has an image of its own-its just the wider Little Rock. A little more bad publicity and maybe we will get that car plant. Huh?

Dee-Wayne=just go back to selling cars or whatever you are doing and leave the police-type work to trained professionals.

And I don't even have a dog in this fight. But Dee-wayne as sheriff-nay be pairing him with Mayberry.

Prisoners can be housed boot camp style. If it is not too hot for kids at summer camp w/o air conditioning it would be okay for convicts.

If you want a first-hand account of what it's like to live in Arpaio's jail, read this blog: http://jonsjailjournal.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_jonsjailjournal_archive.html.

If the Sheriff could legally get away with housing them as they do in Arpaio I am sure he would. You would be suprised of the rights the prisoners have....I think once in jail you have none, but our legal system thinks otherwise. The prisoners live better than some middle class income earners with their a/c jail cells, 3 squares a day, exercise time, etc, etc.

It used to chap my mother's ass to end that they got to watch "color tv" in the prison. This was her sole contribution to the science of penology

Make that "to no end."

Take the crooks and drop them on an island surrounded by sharks and let them fend for themselves. I'm so sick of this "oh poor prisoners and over crowding" crap! Make 'em live in a wet moldy hell hole for a while and they'll think twice.

Poor ol' convicted felon Ken Lay isn't sitting in some comfy cell watching color T.V. today. He's out playing golf somewhere and having having a good ol' time. With his ill-gotten gains, he can afford to be out on appeal for a long, long time, and he's got to be confident that some Repubilcan judge will overturn his convictions eventually.

Dewayne is full of himself. He's also full of something else...

Ken Lay is counting the days that his pal Georgie Boy has left in office, looking forward to that Presidential Pardon that awaits George II's signature when all of his sins will be legaly forgiven. But I don't think he'll be returning close by his former neighborhood, too many angry former Enron employees within shooting distance.

So what is wrong with a big jail tent camp?

Deplane, the only problem with the "island" solution is that the vast majority of the inmates in the Pulaski County Jail aren't officially criminals yet. They're sitting in jail waiting for the trial, so in the eyes of the law, they are innocent of the charges against them.
