DVD Reviews of America's Toughest Sheriff (Joe Arpaio)

DVD Review: A proper condemnation of Joe Arpaio
Summary: 5 Stars

This film begins to tell the real story of Joe Arpaio from the context of a lawman who in his own words "went from a lawman to a celebrity." In this film you will watch someone beaten to death by Arpaio's officers. In this film you will see Arpaio's guards say under oath that while other guards were strangling a detainee (not formally charged, not having had a trial, not even had a preliminary hearing, not proven guilty of anything) that Scott Norberg was turning blue from strangulation, they were told in response "Who gives a F***." You will see convincing evidence of a jail guard cover up and Arpaio says his "guards did nothing wrong."

This is the type of lawman Joe Arpaio is. This is what he does and this is what has cost Maricopa County taxpayers $50M in lawsuit losses during Arpaio's tenure in office.

If you want to see how absolute power corrupts absolutely, then this is the film for you. Kudos to the director Max Jourdan for doing such a good job in this film on showing Arpaio's true colors.

DVD Review: America's Toughest Sheriff Indeed
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one great story whether you watch it on PBS, read the book or see the DVD.
Personally I believe America should have more Lawmen like Joe Arpaio.

DVD Review: torn
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this video because I am a Professor of Criminal Justice. I felt it would be interesting to watch and study as part of a Survey of Corrections course.

It turned out to be very interesting- and somewhat disturbing. My personal and professional sides seemed torn between the content and I could see the same reaction in my students. The discussion that came from watching the video was very productive and beneficial to the class.

However, several students were taken aback by one of the inmates stories and as a Professor I feel I should have made them aware of what the video contained.

Arguable one of the better videos for classroom discussion- if your students can handle the content.

DVD Review: One Tough Sheriff
Summary: 4 Stars

I enjoyed this Documentary on Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I believe in his way of law enforcement, maybe we should have more sheriffs/law enforcers like him. People have a choice in life and if they break the law they should be held accountable for their actions. Keep up the good work Sheriff.

Description of America's Toughest Sheriff (Joe Arpaio)

America's Toughest Sheriff follows the popular and often-controversial law enforcement figure, Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio presides over Maricopa County in Arizona, the fourth-largest county in the U.S. This documentary takes you inside his no-nonsense approach to incarceration. His well-known deterrents include tent cities housing over 1,000 inmates, old-fashioned prison stripes complete with standard issue pink underwear and female chain gangs.
The media-friendly Arpaio has received high praise for his unorthodox methods and purported tax-saving measures. But, not everyone is pro-Joe. Civil rights groups, including Amnesty International, have expressed outrage over jail conditions and complaints of alleged inmate abuse. Others question the staff's potential misuse of stun guns and pepper spray and the practicality of his 3,000 member volunteer posse.
Love him or hate him, Joe Arpaio is toughest sheriff in the West.
