Sheriff Joe - No More Kool-Aid

Kool-Aid is being phased out for county inmates

Michelle Park

Come the end of July, there won't be any Mountainberry Punch served at certain Valley dinner tables.

Instead of it, and other flavors of Kool-Aid, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will limit his 10,000 inmates' drink choices to water. He began phasing out Kool-Aid, which the inmates call "bug juice," last week.

Discontinuing the powdered, sugary soft drink will save $43,000 a year, Arpaio says. And Kool-Aid has little nutritional value, he added.

"When you're in jail, you should not live better than you do on the outside," he said. "That's an extra kind of thing, as far as I'm concerned."

He's thinking ketchup may be next.

If he keeps this up the prisoners will outlive the guards.

I love it!

That guy is a GENIUS.

His prison is an unpleasant place, and prison SHOULD be an unpleasant place. That is exactly the point... That is its purpose... to be unpleasant. Punishment is not supposed to be comfortable.

EVERY prison should be modeled after his.

Guy lives down the street from me -- he's definitely considered a local hero.

He SHOULD be considered a NATIONAL hero. Finally, somebody who "gets it".

If you run into him, please shake his hand and congratulate him on his brilliance for me.

Every election year, the most interesting rumor in AZ is when is he going to run for governor or congress.

Mike, he already has national exposure . . . from his tent prisons, pink inmate garb, and recent "Am Idol" singing contest (winner got a pizza), he's a legend.

It'll never happen. He really likes being sheriff, and he's really getting old -- too old for a new job.

I know that.

But there are a LOT of panty-waists who whine that his policies are "cruel and unusual punishment".

He is quite famous...

But that doesn't mean that he is universally admired for his ideas.

I am arguing that he should be BOTH.

Mike

Considering the food these guys get, I'll guarantee you a pizza was highly prized. Yeah, think about living in "Tent City" in Phoenix in the summer.....

His policies are spot-on. Remember prison life in Goodfellas?
