Lemme just say I'm not one of those flag-burning hippies but I also don't believe in forced patriotism but the guy in charge of this prison sounds flat out insane. The irony of this is that this feels like something that would happen in North Korea. What do you think? Does the punishment of a bread and water only diet for 7 days fit the crime?
Whether Sheriff Joe was right or wrong aside, those dumb ass inmates should have known better than to do something like that in a Maricopa County jail of all places.

I also wondered what the heck he was trying to prove by making the prisoners wear pink underwear, trying to deter their masculinity maybe?
The story I heard was to keep them from being stolen since the color is undesirable. I don't know if I buy that reason or not.
As far as I'm concerned, it's something the citizens of Maricopa County to ponder since it's their vote that will keep him in office or replace him.
