What is your opinion of Sheriff Joe Arpaio?

If he ever thought of running for President.....Not only would I vote for him.....But I would sell everything that I have for his race.....I would follow him on the trail....and knock on all doors that I could.....

Hell yes he did the right thing.....And the baqddies think so aqlso....Well at least they do not commit crimes in his area anymore.....they go someplace else...Where we let the little babies have thier way....aqnd pay a great price for it

He does a great job! I like is philosophy that prison is a prison, not a countryclub.

i love 'im. i wish he was in Utah where i live. he's not cruel, he's fair and does what people all over want to be done. my tax money clothes, houses and feeds thugs and criminals. let it be done Joe's way.

America's corporate run prison system lobbys hard to make sure that legislation keeps as many people in prison as possible. It has nothing to do with public safety, it has everything to do with corporate profits and campaign donations. Our police state is very effective, with 3% of Americans "in the system" in one way or another, most of them for drug offenses which harm no one.
Joe Arpaio is not the problem, but people like him are the symptom of our diseased criminal justice system.

He's a human rights violator just like Sadam Husane and the like. He's being investigated and it will catch up with him.

Other sheriffs need to learn from him.

Generally speaking, I like his approach. He is using a cleverness and astute ability to understand who he is dealing with. I think that it is much better than the more common approach that seeks to encourage violence and intimidation amongst the prison population. Sheriff Joe doesn't have any incidents of violence amongst his population. So, he is protecting the prisoners while they repay their debt to society. It is a highly principled way to operate. That is what prison was originally intended to do.

I agree with the comment above by CAJohn that our prison system is more about corporate profits and keeping the criminals flowing in and out as needed rather than solving the very real problems of the criminal mind. There are economies of scale built around the notion of keeping criminals in prison in some small towns and cities throughout the country. It is obscene that our mindset is that way.

Don't know enough of him to comment!.....Truthfully!

I think he should be the president and lockup for life, the treasonous imposter occupying the White House.
