On Sky 3 Sunday July 18th: Inside: America's Toughest Jail
This TV program is on from 9pm to 10pm in England. Here's the blurb:
The lives of the 9,000 criminals who are serving their sentences in the Maricopa County jail, Arizona, one of America's most notorious correctional facilities. The prison is presided over by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who shares his views on running such an establishment - including banning coffee, smoking, most TV channels and employing humiliation and hard labour to keep inmates in line.
Anyone notice the slight mistake in the blurb? The majority of the inmates in Arpaio's jail are unsentenced, so they are not serving sentences in the Maricopa County jail - except for a minority of them on short sentences in Tent City.
