The Citizens of Maricopa County continue to pay for
the endless and ridiculous sins of the fool who has
dubbed himself "THE TOUGHEST SHERIFF IN AMERICA".

Quite aside from Arpaio's history as the only "tough
guy" who got the hell kicked out of him by a hair
dresser, Arpaio's endless falsehoods, hogwashes,
exaggerations, and publicity stunts are putting down
his dubious "legend" as a scam artist, just a few
short clicks off from being a P.T. Barnum. Indeed, we
thought we were electing a Wyatt Earp; what we wound
up with was a bad imitation of Rube Golberg. Worse,
he costs every citizen money, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

One of his latest misadventures is heavily documented
in all today's Arizona papers, September 27th, 2002,
in various articles describing that, of the latest
massive damage lawsuit, for some $635,000, Joe may
have to pay, this time, for some of his own ridiculous
excesses. For every lawsuit you see, Joe has to,
"under the table", settle on countless others.

This one involved an inmate at The Tents ("Tent City")
who was savagely beaten by other inmates, in a
thoroughly preventable situation. He suffered
permanent brain damage.

Among other gems, Sheriff Arpaio claimed he knew
nothing about the inherent, constant dangers in the
facilities he administers.

Since EVERYONE ELSE knows this, he is obviously either
much more incompetent than we even suspected, or the
"BIGGEST LYING SHERIFF IN AMERICA". The jury felt it
was the latter.

Attorney Robbins summed it up neatly: "Sheriff Joe
needs to retire. He needs to find a job where he
can get publicity without hurting people."

False imprisonment, brutality, unsanitary conditions,
overcrowding, and general lack of humanity mark this
County as worse than the notorious black holes of
Calcutta.

Sheriff Joe regards everyone in his custody, or claims
to, as literally "beneath contempt", criminals, and
endeavors to horrify them at every turn, while making
a mountain of money. Trouble is, only RELATIVELY

Hard to forget good old Joe's continuing lie that he was "of Portuguese extraction". It was established decades ago the fat, insane, senile charlatan coward  was of CALABRIAN descent. 

That's southern Italy,   across from Sicily. It's verified by the ton. The man cannot utter truth.   Just can't!!

Many charges here flow from mistaken identity,
dishonest cops like those in Mesa, fraudulent evidence from paid snitches who cannot get facts straight, or just some lowlife's need to "clear" a case and make quota. Others are so grotesquely exaggerated that, when a court date actually comes up, they are reduced to almost nothing.

But the jail system forces easy "plea greements"
These are not "Plea Bargains"...nothing involved with this system is a bargain.

TB, Hepatitis, and worse are very serious dangers in these filth holes, and it is not merely the tents.

Certainly, an extreme DUI deserves punishment, and so does domestic violence, two of the more common offenses for which defendants wind up at Tent City.

But a death sentence--which is what many of the
chronic diseases acquired there really amount to--is not appropriate.

This is why many inmates, having experienced or heard of both, WANT to go to prison, rather than stay in these revolting climes. And many will "confess" rather than be further confined, even if they are innocent.

ANY trip to one of Arpaio's jails is "cruel and
unusual punishment"...

This is not the "Toughest Sheriff in America"...
But he is surely the "Most Expensive Phony Cop" in the entire world. Even the n**i concentration camps were cleaner. The food was probably similar.
