Sheriff Puts American Flags In Every Jail Cell And If Thugs Mess With It He Does THIS Sheriff Joe Arpaio has become quite the controversial character in the media, given that he has not been shy about challenging liberals and voicing his opinions. Most recently, Arpaio made headlines after ordering that a small American flag be placed in every jail cell in his county. The gesture was supposed to be part of Flag Dag. Arpaio claims that any inmate who tampered with the flag will be put on a strict diet of bread and water. Further, Arpaio argued that God Bless America should be played on the loudspeakers every morning. He also offered veterans special treatment on the day honoring their country. We have 180 inmates that are veterans, so I placed the veterans into their own area, Arpaio told reporters. They painted all the branches of the services on the walls, red, white, and blue. And it is interesting to note that I havent had any problems, assaults or anything else, in that area. My theory is weve had some sergeants there and they kind of, in their own way, helped me because they can supervise the other inmates that were privates, etc. What do you think of Arpaios orders? Do you support his decision to force inmates to honor the flag?
