>             You may

>             Well.........

>             SHERIFF
>             JOE IS AT IT AGAIN !
>
>
>             Oh, there's MUCH
>             more to know about Sheriff Joe !
>
>
>             Maricopa County was spending approx. $18
>             million dollars a year on stray animals, like
>             cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the
>             department over, and the CountySupervisors said
>             okay.
>
>
>             The animal shelters are now all
>             staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and
>             care for the strays. Every animal in his care is
>             taken out and walked twice daily. He now has
>             prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition
>             and behavior. They give great classes for anyone
>             who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally
>             taken stray dogs off the street, given them to
>             the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog
>             shows.
>
>
>             The
>             best part? His budget for the entire department
>             is now under $3 million.
>
>
>             The prisoners get the benefit of about
>             $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work
>             for free, just to be out of their cells for the
>             day. Most of his budget is for utilities,
>             building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners
>             out of the fees collected for adopted animals.
>
>
>
>             I have long wondered when the rest of
>             the country would take a look at the way he runs
>             the jail system and copy some of his ideas. He
>             has a huge farm, donated to the county years
>             ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most
>             of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing
>             all the work and harvesting by hand.
>
>
>             He
>             has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides
>             meat and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Chris
>             tmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you
>             can buy a living Chris tmas tree for $6 - $8 for
>             the holidays and plant it later.
>
>             Yup,
>             he was re-elected last year with 83% of the
>             vote.
>             Now he's in trouble with the ACLU
>             again. He painted all his buses and vehicles
>             with a mural that has a special hotline phone
>             number
>             painted on it, where you can call and report
>             suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and
>             Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his
>             eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically
>             for enforcing immigration laws, started up his
>             hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling
>             folks back to the border. He's kind of a
>             'Git-R-Dun' kind of Sheriff.

>
>             HE IS

>             AND
>             HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND

>             THIS

>
>             Sheriff Joe

>             ** He has jail meals down to 40 cents

>
>
>             ** 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

>
>
>             ** When asked why the weather channel,

>
>
>             ** He cut off coffee since ithas zero nutritional
