For those not familiar with Joe Arpaio, he is the county sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. He keeps getting re-elected over and over again. These are some of the reasons why:

  • Sheriff Joe Arpaio created the “tent city jail” to save Arizona from spending tens of millions of dollars on another expensive prison complex; inmates sleep in tents!
  • He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
  • He banned smoking and pornographic magazines in the jails, took away their weightlifting equipment and cut off all but “G” movies. He says, “They’re in jail to pay a debt to society, not to build muscles so they can assault innocent people when they leave.”
  • He started chain gangs to use the inmates to do free work on county and city projects and save taxpayer’s money. Men work in pink “Clean(ing) and Sober” shirts. Their underwear is also pink!
  • Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn’t get sued for discrimination.
  • He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again but only allows the Disney Channel and The Weather Channel. When asked why the weather channel, he replied, “So these morons will know how hot it’s gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.”
  • He cut off coffee because it has zero nutritional value and is therefore a waste of taxpayer money. When the inmates complained, he told them, “This isn’t the Ritz. If you don’t like it, don’t come back.” 
  • He also bought the Newt Gingrich lecture series on US history that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series that actually tells the truth for a change would be welcome and that it might even explain why 95% of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
  • With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116° F set a new record for June 2, 2009), the Associated Press reported that about 2,000 inmates living in a tent encampment surrounded by barbed wire at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts. On that Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing pink boxer shorts were overheard chatting in the tents, where temperatures reached 128 degrees. “This is hell. It feels like we live in a furnace,” said Ernesto Gonzales, an inmate for 2 years with 10 more to go. “It’s inhumane.”
  • Joe Arpaio, who makes his prisoners wear pink and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. “Criminals should be punished for their crimes, not live in luxury until it’s time for parole, only to go out and commit more crimes so they can come back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things many taxpayers can’t afford to have for themselves.”
  • The same day he told all the inmates who were complaining of the heat in the tents: “It’s between 120 to 130 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents there too, and they have to walk all day in that sun, wearing full battle gear and getting shot at, and THEY have not committed any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!”

Sheriff Joe was just re-elected for the fourteenth time as Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.

God bless that man.

I voted for him and will gladly do it until he retires.

Wow we need more tough Americans like this!

This man is truly awesome! Why? Because he’s right! Prison is a punishment and should be treated as such. Honestly it’s common sense, if you don’t want to go to prison then don’t commit a crime! If all American prisons were like this, imagine how much lower our crime rate would be in this country. Nobody would want to live like this. All the more reason to walk the straight-and-narrow. Seriously, this guy gets my vote 100%. Makes me wish I lived in Arizona.

Prison isn’t supposed to be a sleep away camp. There should be no repeat offenders. 

WHAT A BADASS

CAN I SHAKE HIS HAND

Oh wow, look at this man who is aggressively dehumanized and putting into intolerable conditions a great number of living, breathing, thinking humans beings who are overwhelmingly incarcerated for victim-less, non-violent crimes.

Let us all give praise and stroke the mighty, country-wise dick of this asshat because ‘he’s so smart, he doesn’t take gruff!’

If you have so many people in jails that you need to put them in tents, STOP FUCKING ARRESTING PEOPLE FOR BULLSHIT CRIMES YOU STUPID ASSHOLES. The solution isn’t draconian measures, it’s to stop being fucking fascist douchewads.

yeah no, fuck this. imagine how many of them were in there for ‘minor’ crimes or were convicted of something they didn’t do. and even if they did do it, they are still humans. shit like this is why so many people go back to prison after they’ve been released. these people need to be rehabilitated, not treated like sub-human scum. if you have a problem, it needs to be CONFRONTED - not locked away.

almost everyone above this is a dumbass. if every prison was like this, it would not decrease any crime rates and everyone obviously has no idea how prisons work anymore. my dad worked as a corrections officer in a large maximum security prison for almost 30 years with some of the worst criminals my state has to offer. even with how cold, racist and prejudice he is, even he felt bad sometimes about how some prisoners were treated.

Sane - One of the most important parts of BDSM is aftercare. Scenes can be extremely traumatizing and intense for the submissive. Aftercare is anything from petting to cuddling to holding to sweet talking, whatever degree of gentleness a bottom would need to pull them out of “subspace”. How does Christian provide aftercare? He submits Ana to a traumatizing first time spanking experience AND THEN FUCKING LEAVES. AND GETS MAD THAT SHE DIDN’T TELL HIM SHE WAS UPSET. He’s the one who should fucking know better! That, again, is not the act of a responsible Dominant. It’s the act of a selfish abuser. Consensual - Did I mention he undressed her when she was belligerently drunk? Tracked her phone to locate her? He also buys her a new car despite her saying no countless times. Now, consent is important for any kind of sexual activity at all. Consent means informed, consent means enthusiastic. Informed, enthusiastic consent. This is crucial in a BDSM setting. Scenes can be extremely intense, especially for the bottom. What is Christian’s form of obtaining consent? Handing Ana a fucking contract highlighting all the things he wants to do her asshole and asking her to sign it. She was a virgin (Don’t even get me fucking started.) who had never before been exposed to BDSM. Entering in that kind of relationship takes a gargantuan amount of trust and knowledge so you know exactly what you’re getting into. Not reading a list of kinks on a piece of paper and signing your rights to say no away. Christian didn’t offer her resources, he didn’t offer her information. He gave her an ultimatum. That is not the sort of consent a responsible Dom/me would seek from their submissive. Fuck. This. book. It’s written in a shitty way, it’s a terrible example of a BDSM relationship (ask anybody already involved in the lifestyle and watch them go blue in the face just thinking about it), which is already faced with enough prejudice and misunderstand, and it romanticizes and glorifies abuse. ^I’m just going to stand up for this and clap THIS A THOUSAND TIMES OVER THHHAAAANNNKK YOOOUUUU
