Arpaio

Female inmates are forced to work on a chain gang, wearing bags of rocks on their backs, if they want three meals a day.  They work digging graves and burying people: homeless, elderly, infants.  One woman had to bury her own baby.  The draconian sheriff, a self-styled Old
West hero, has instituted cost-cutting measures.  Slashing inmates’ caloric intakes.  Housing them outside in tents in 125°F (52°C) weather.  Feeding them ruined batches of processed food.  And all this for mass murder?  Serial child molestation?  Genocide?  No.  Petty theft, substance abuse problems, and prostitution.

What third-world country am I talking about?  Phoenix, Arizona.
