Sheriff Joe Arpaio is world famous as "America's Toughest Sheriff". Inmates weak pink underwear, eat bologna sandwiches that cost only 40 cents per meal (and for which Joe charges them!) . In Summer inmates bake in Tent City, which recently celebrated its 20th year. When Sheriff Joe put up flags in prisoner's cells, he warned if any are defaced that inmate would get only bread and water for a full week -- and 38 inmates have been punished so far.

But Joe also has a heart of gold. He spends a huge amount of time helping animals,  giving indoor space to rescued animals, setting up a no-kill shelter for them, while hardened criminals got sent to the tents. Joe even housed inmates who are veterans in a separate area indoors, providing those with PTSD with special programs to get back on their feet.

Perhaps with sympathy in mind, this afternoon Sheriff Joe asked his fans on social media a question:

Only those who are natural born U.S. citizens!

That should only involve two or three of them.

Yes for the Super Bowl. It is good for morale and takes their mind off jail for a while

But no World Cup soccer championships for the illegals

If the regime imprisons us (patriots), will they let us watch the SB if we are good?

I leave the answer up to FR.

Yes, on a 15-inch black and white TV set with poor reception.

Yes, when it was considered trash food. And I doubt that there was much drawn butter in that situation.

That doesn’t mean everyone gets to watch or listen to it. Mission comes first, obviously.

If a few exhibit exemplary behavior, and they root for the Broncos, I’m O.K. with it.

Funny story. I was working in a locked male psych unit years ago. No smoking allowed.

Ten minutes before superbowl kickoff we found smoke in a bathroom.

Off with the tv as I explained sweetly that we could not have cigarettes or lighters on the unit and the contraband would have to be handed over, no questions asked... or...

The TV would stay off, everone would line up so we could have them one by one change into scrubs while we searched their clothes then their rooms and then they would be sent to another area to sit and wait until they were all searched. Their choice.

I don’t think I have ever had so much power.

The cigarettes and lighter were delivered to me within three minutes by a guy who, I think was worried that the rest of the guys would hurt him badly if he didn’t give it up.

The set went on, we popped bowls of popcorn and our side won.

Yes, but he should delay the broadcast by 15 minutes and tell them the winner ahead of time.

No.

If they must watch a bowl, let them watch a toilet bowl.

Should have been more specific.

No, they should not be allowed to watch the super bowl. They need to learn their behavior has consequences.

That is why they are in jail.

My father told a story about the first group of men he was assigned as a new 2ndLt. in the Air Force.

They were the absolute worst bunch on the base. Some criminal. He immediately had one guy sent to the brig and then used his discretionary funds to buy the barracks a TV for the World Series. His next purchase when he got funds was to purchase them a commercial floor buffer.

They loved him and he coached them to the base intramural basketball championship.
