There's A New Sheriff in Town

A couple of them:

"Sheriff to separate inmates by status" by Associated Press | February 5, 2009

PHOENIX - The self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America" has announced plans to keep illegal immigrants separated from the rest of the inmate population in tents that house prisoners....

Yeah, you bet that makes the agenda-pushing MSM!

Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox said she thinks Arpaio could potentially be violating the immigrants' rights....

What rights? They are ILLEGALS!!!!!

"Anytime you treat people differently for no reason, you stand to violate rights," she said. "We treat people equally in America. I think it's wrong."

Tell it to the GUYS in GITMO, bitch!!!!!!

That's special treatment, too!

--more--"

And if you think "compassionate, liberal" Massachusetts is any different....

"Sheriff seeks to charge inmates $5 a day

A Massachusetts sheriff says jail inmates should pay for part of the cost of their incarceration.

Yeah, that SOUNDS GOOD except it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

When you IMPRISON THEM you take on the RESPONSIBILITY for their NEEDS!!!

Making them PAY for their "HOUSING" is a from of SLAVERY and INDENTURED SERVITUDE!!!

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson was to meet with state lawmakers yesterday to seek support for legislation that would allow him to charge $5 a day to inmates at the county's two jails. Representative Betty Poirier, a North Attleborough Republican, filed a bill at the request of Hodgson to allow the commissioner of corrections and the state's sheriffs to assess inmates with "reasonable fees." Hodgson told the Standard-Times of New Bedford it is unfair that victims of crime must pay the $35,000 annually it costs to house an inmate (AP)."

For what? Some NON-VIOLENT DRUG OFFENSE?

This as we CLOSE SCHOOLS and LAY-OFF TEACHERS!
