> 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 County Supervisors 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. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from
> a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on
> all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we
> got him. Cost us $78.

> The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most

> 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 Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners
> work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the
> Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the
> Prison.

> Yup, he was reelected 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.
