Sheriff Joe's jail menu - now vegetarian

[WarriorAngel]

Sheriff Joe Arpaio institutes cost-saving, vegetarian meals for inmates

I'm vegetarian myself, so if I ever get arrested, I hope it's by Sheriff Joe

This guy is a Nazi. He should be arrested and forced to be incarcerated under a regime such as his.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

How is he a Nazi? Enforcing immigration laws, asking for proof of citizenship, and being tough with the jail, I fail to see how that's fascist.

He'd be gassing the prisoners if he could get away with it.

Have you ever been in jail?

I served a year sentence in the Los Angeles County Jail. It's a nightmare.

Under Arpaio it's worse.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

Nah. I'm a weird, boring guy. I've always obeyed the laws!

Yes, he seems to take pleasure in seeing how far he can push his role as Sheriff. He makes men wear pink and has people sleeping outside. From what I can tell, if they go vegetarian, it'd be a step up from the green meat they're eating now. I'm not soft on crime, but it's almost like he gets his jolly's seeing what he can get the inmates to do.

I'm no big fan of Sheriff Joe, but I don't see anything bad about this. Cheaper and likely much healthier than what one would expect from prison food.

Now if he'd only pay attention to crimes with Latina victims and stop worry about birth certificates, I'd have to say he wasn't such a bad guy.

Rumor has it he's trying to get libersraum for the white race.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the amazing Sheriff Arpaio. ing in respect

He is saving $100,000 of tax payer money going meatless.
And if ppl like to eat meat - they should rethink committing a crime in his area.

Joe Arpaio makes his inmates wear pink underwear, as if that is immasculating or humiliating for them, enforcing not only "the law," but gender discrimination as well. In order to take over yet another aspect of his inmates' lives, he has now instituted another level of deprivation, an exclusively vegetarian menu. I'm mostly vegetarian myself, but I know that going from a meat-based to a vegetarian lifestyle can be chemically demanding on the body. But who knows? Maybe that's what he wants, to incapacitate his inmates chemically for the purpose of control. Heck, given the authority, the man would control which hand his inmates use to touch.

I doubt that eating vegetarian is cheaper. I can personally attest to consistently paying higher prices for food for eating vegetarian at most establishments. I'm sure you could find someone who could generate an even cheaper menu while still retaining meat, crappy meat that's for sure, but meat nonetheless. I don't see any reason to heap accolades on this man.

Then you wouldn't really have a clue of how bad it is in jail or how much worse Arpaio is making it for his inmates.

From the article - it was a slow process of cutting down on the meat.
He didnt just take it away immediately - it was gradual - if i read it correctly.
Now they eat soy substitute.

Supposedly it tastes like meat. I have had garden burgers at eat n Park - which were fairly decent.
Not sure i am a fan of soy - i cant take it in frequently.

I dont think restaurant food is comparably to jail food.

The thing is - since its bad - ppl dont often want to go back. And i think thats the point.

I also think 'area' depending matters.
Some want to go back because they dont feel they can make it outside. But the point of jail is punishment...
There is a jail in Pgh that seems like a spa. At least it used to be.
Looks more like a hotel and you can see wide screen tv's and weight rooms all decked out. Its pretty nice - and i can see in the windows all the way up because it's next to an over pass.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

Neither would you unless you stayed in his jail?

And I'm quite proud of my not committing any crimes and staying out of jail. I prefer not having a criminal record. And I'm so odd that I'm even encouraging my kids to avoid it! Go figure! LOL...

Shifting to a meatless diet isn't "chemically demanding" on the body at all. If anything, eating meat is more damaging and chemically taxing!
