Where were all the criminal 'suits'?!

In such prison tents the great crims of Wall Street belong. They stole 17% of my ultimately not-so-super super in just a few weeks! More than two dozen fund managers were 'earning' well over a million dollars an hour [taxed at 15%] for the few years prior to the '08 crash. The greatest criminals in the US are rarely tried or prosecuted, for the scales of justice are indeed heavily weighed down to keep the poor in place, particularly destitute and disadvantaged blacks that seek solace in a drug.

jails = big business

No wonder 25% of the US are in prison, its all about saving cash because all of the jails are owned by private companies whom have paid judges to place harsher jail times for petty crimes. What happend to the rehabilitation and the seperation of powers?

Prisoners access to SBS??

Looks like a handful of prisoners-criminals-whatevers have decided to disagree with the Sherriff's outstanding program.

Tent Prisons

I totally agree with the Sherriff. I lived for a year in a tent during the Vietnam war. Nothing wrong with that. Troops are still living in tents in war zones this very day. Prisoners should not be so damn whimpy, get some guts in your constitutions. Bring on tent prisons now. Out door bathrooms too so that warders can keep an eye on their behaviours as well. Look guys, do the crime do the time! Bet you won't be back again so soon...Even today there are people living in worse conditions.

Victims Rights?

There should be prisons like this in Australia, the prisioners in this country are treated like protected species. They should face conditions like this then they may not reoffend, the people who advocate prisoners rights proberly have not been on the recieving end off a criminal, the criminals don't give there victoms any rights when they are committing their offences so why do they deserve rights inside.For to long we have been pampering to the googie too shoes of the prisioners rights groups.

Prison / Human Rights

I believe that its about time criminals are treated like criminals, not protected animals. Mr Joe Arpaio, Sheriff of Arizona is treating the criminal like they should be treated, the criminal took away their rights when they committed the crime. How does the family or person who the crime was committed against deal with their life after the crime. Why do we treat criminals like protected animals. Criminals don"t respect fellow humans. Why dont we adopt the same principal here in Australia. SOFT

America's Toughest Sheriff

I think they should give this man a medal, he is brilliant, hiow else can we turn criminals around, if we always make things too easy for them, there are too many do-gooders who seem to appose everything, they never think of the victims. If it is tough for them, I mean physical hard labour, not sitting at computers, going to the library, reading, watching television, a hotel, there seems to be far too many rights for the criminals and not enough responsibily, make them work.

good Job

I think this guy is doing a top job and more people should take notice of how he run's thing's ,,,,,, and too all the goody goody's ,, is it not plain and simple , do wrong , pay for it , I hope he keep's up the good work and I hope the people in his jail get out and remember and go on to be better people ,
