I met the famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio a couple of weeks ago, at a Republican convention thingy. I know you've heard of him... people circulate stories about him on the internet, how he makes the overflow prisoners stay in a "tent city" in the desert since the State of Arizona really has no money to build more prisons. He makes them wear pink underwear so they won't feel like they should steal them when they leave. If ground beef is too expensive, prisoners eat ostrich or whatever meat is affordable. Prisoners have the option of working on the chain gang out in the heat; if not, they can stay in the tent city and do nothing. No porno magazines, no cable t.v., no amenities.
Joe didn't smile for our picture, because that "mean" look is his thing. He said so. He could've at least made it look like he was okay with getting a picture with me.....
