| Juvie chain gang gets to bury indigents |
| 2004-04-25 |
| Thursday was the first time the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has used the juvenile chain gang to bury indigents at the cemetery west of Phoenix. The plots are marked only with a person’s name, if it is known, and the date of death. Jets from nearby Luke Air Force Base thunder overhead, threatening to drown out the deacon’s words. A deacon is used, as local Reverends and Priests boycott forced prison labor burials. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is known for making inmates, and those awaiting trial, live in tents (even in 115F heat), wear pink underwear, eat only trail mix and often spoiled bologna @1200 calories/human/day, work on chain gangs, receive only aspirin as "health care", and submit to beatings by his jail staff. The only thing he has been forced to back off from is forcing inmates to kill stray animals from shelters. He has "back burnered" that idea, but not dismissed it entirely. He now has his own animal shelter, since the Humane Society refuses to cooperate with him. He has interfered with several investigations of his staff, including those conducted by the FBI, and tampered with staff homicide autopsy evidence. He also intimidates and threatens political opponents and their supporters. Several countries now refuse to extradite to Maricopa County, and Arpaio is listed as an offender by Amnesty International. For further information. |
