Pink underwear, prisons and a Christmas posse
Exclusive: Dr. Gina Loudon shares details of dinner with Sheriff Joe Arpaio
December 15, 2013


Last night in the midst of the Christmas rush, I took a night off of the flurry of Christmas preparation to spend the evening with a small group of people, one of whom was Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

I have met him many times, but you really get to know someone when you spend hours with that person in a small, intimate setting over food and drink.

Since my background is in psychology, I am intrigued a lot more by the makeup of someone’s mind than I am his or her politics. This goes for liberals and conservatives alike.

Joe speaks pretty forthrightly.
. . . .
1) Famously, Sheriff Joe Arpaio puts his inmates in pink underwear

2) Joe has used his constitutional authority to deputize a 3,000-person posse.

3) He uses his posse during busy mall seasons to protect shoppers, another target for criminals with guns.

4) He removed porn and cigarettes from the jail.

5) He brings all the military veterans together to paint the cells red, white and blue.

6) He saved Maricopa County $600,000 by eliminating milk for inmates, and he took away cable and plays audio of the brilliant Newt Gingrich through the jail halls, instead. “Maybe they’ll learn something,” he suggests.
