Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- the

By at 1:41 pm Saturday, Jan 5

Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- the Dr. Mengele of the American Penal System -- has foisted a new indignity on the prisoners in his charge. Now, you can watch live streaming Webcams from inside the jail, in exchange for your demographic info (see, it's revenue-positive!), and thrill to prison-rape, beatings and humiliation.
This is a real life transmission of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Madison Street Jail. Instances of violence or sexually inappropriate behavior by detainees during the booking process may occur. Viewer discretion is advised. This is a jail not a simulation. The persons in this transmission are either employees of Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, other police agencies in Maricopa County or arrestees. Under the United States and Arizona Constitution a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
(Sure was nice of 'em to remind us of that innocent-until-proven-guilty stuff, huh?) Link Discuss (Thanks, Patrick!)
