There's more to know about Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County in Arizona. The rest of the country should take a look at the way he runs his jail, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm where inmates work. They grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting the crops by hand. Hard work means good exercise.
The Sheriff has a hog farm which provides meat for the jail and fertilizer for the crops they grow and for a Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work. You can buy a living Christmas tree for under $8.00. He cut out coffee since it has no nutritional value. When inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz Carlton. If you don't like it here, don't come back."
Known as the "Sheriff from hell," Joe Arpaio is considering a run for Governor of Arizona. His position on illegal immigration, which has been a severe problem in Arizona, are well known. If elected, maybe some of his tough, common-sense approaches to governing would rub off on other elected officials who squander public funds. Go Sheriff!
