TOO HOT FOR ARIZONA CONVICTS
It's even hotter than usual in Phoenix, the Associated Press reports:

About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before. Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

"It feels like you are in a furnace," said James Zanzo't, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, is not sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths."

KIND OF PUTS THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE DOESN'T IT?

Need more like him!

Gee, criminals should be punished, what an unusual and thought proviking idea, I've seen several news spots on this Sheriff over the last few years. We need more people like him in the world, especially in positions where they can actually accomplish something like he has. I wonder what the recidivism rate is down there? I work in a NY State facility per diem, and it ain't nothing like there, da-- prisoners run the place.

What does this reporter do for his day/side job? I'm guessing romance novels. Eww!
