Sheriff Arpaio: Unpatriotic inmates to get bread, water

Could you post a link for it? I'd love to read the courts rationale on this case.

 

What a great idea. Any inmate that opens his yap or acts up should be on bread and water for 30 days. Michelle Obama should approve due to the weight loss.

 

Yeah, I bet obesity isnt a problem at Sheriff Joes place.

 

That isn't true.

Many people are detained in jail while awaiting trial.

If somebody had a vendetta against you, planted drugs in your car, reported you to the police, you were formally charged, then you'd go to a remand jail while awaiting charges. Ideally, you'd be acquitted in court.

My point mostly that some of those inmates are innocent. But I also don't think that even guilty inmates deserve to be overly punished.

Many people in this thread want to go back to the dark ages when people were stretched on a rack. People are naturally cruel and vindictive and we need laws to limit how much we can abuse each other. This is why habeas corpus and due process are so important in Western societies.

We like to shake our fingers at Eastern countries like Iran and chastise them for stoning people... while we defend our right to abuse our own prisoners.

Jails are lawless, experimental playgrounds for the bourgeois. They are warehouses of incapacitation that infringe on liberties and are incongruent with the rule of law.

 

Our government has a terrible record when it comes to oversight on anything. Banking, oil drilling, corporate regulations, federal prisons, immigration laws, gun control laws that are in place, You name it, our government is lax, or the inspectors assigned are just not knowledgeable enough to do the job properly.

 

What are your opinions on gun control Mr. Bill of Rights?

 

don't derail the thread.

its disgusting & pathetic how folks here are ok with mistreating people who haven't been convicted of a crime.

 

Oh no you dont. You claimed I hated the bill of rights for opposition to one part. Now, do you support the right to keep and bare arms or are you a hypocrite and/or a partisan who has nothing better to do than spout off drivel?

 

Ok so your in jail to no fault of your own... Why would you scrape a flag sticker off the cell wall? And have to eat the bread and water. Not everyone in the jail is on a bread and water diet only the ones that have broke the jails law...

 

Let's say his prisoners are 100% white? Where does it say that white prisoners have to be patriotic?

 

again, this thread isn't about gun control.

deal with it.

 

They don't have to be patriotic. Just follow the rules or eat the bread and drink the water simple as that.

 

There is no rule (except in Arpaio's tormented brain) that you cannot deface a flag decal.

 

It doesn't matter if the jail tells you don't remove that sticker and you remove it you have broke the rules. Arpaio is the sheriff he makes the rules. Just like other sheriffs make rules in their jails. This is a very easy rule to follow. I don't get your point.

 

They don't have to be patriotic or eat just bread and water. Just follow the rules and leave the flag alone. Is that so hard for Libs to understand?

 

That would be nice, but republicans have no interest in helping Americans children.

Defacing property is wrong. Starving prisoners on bread and water is wrong.

 

No wonder you can't get through to Liberals. Yes, there is a rule to not deface the flag in the cell. You obey and there is no punishment. How hard is that to understand. You don't have to like it, just try and understand it. It's really not that hard.

 

Bread and water punishment is the point.

 

They aren't starving. You have no idea of how long that punishment is good for. It could be only for a day or two.

 

Don't touch the sticker don't get bread and water. That is the point.

 

violates the 8th Amendment.

especially when you're punishing non-convicted inmates.

 

. Say's you. I don't think you have read the 8th...... Just the headline like your post that 150.000 have signed up for Obamacare.

 

Seven days on bread and water for each flag sticker violation, the sheriff says.

We spoke with professor Steven Gonzales of Arizona Summit Law School. He said he believes the sheriff's flag policy looks constitutional on paper. The question is whether it will be enforced fairly.

 

Probably not, but he is a complete ass...

 

These people are in jail because they didn't follow the rules. This is a good education for them. Sooner or later they have to learn in a civilized society, you can't always do what you want or what you don't like. When you break the rules and you know the punishment for doing it, you have no one to blame but yourself. That is the way it is Liberals. Don't cry for them, cry for the victims that got them in jail in the first place.
