Arpaio starts 2-week mandatory English classes for inmates

Go directly to jail. Do pass a competency exam.

Non-English-speaking inmates in Maricopa County jails began mandatory
English classes on Monday.

At the end of their two-week course, inmates must take a test to see
how well they learned about American government, the words to God Bless
America and the communication of health and safety needs.

"These inmates happen to be incarcerated in the United States of
America and in Maricopa County where I run the jails," Sheriff Joe
Arpaio said in a statement. "And we speak English here, not foreign
languages."

Classes will last two hours a day. The curriculum comprises the three
branches of government, how a bill becomes law, state government, law
enforcement and court services, and jailhouse "situational"
terminology.

Most students will be native-Spanish speakers. Of the 10,000 prisoners
in Maricopa County jails, about 3,000 are Hispanic, including roughly
1,000 undocumented immigrants.

Just a matter of time before someone (inmate) grabs cowboy Arpaio, and
lights a greased firecracker up his ass.  The guy's a fucking moron,
registered Republican card carrying member.

I'm bilingual, I support bilingual education, I am not in favor of
English-only legislation, and I stopped voting Republican a long time
ago.  And I have never been to jail, so I don't know how abusive this
actually feels to an inmate.

But from what I have read so far, this requirement doesn't bother me
that much.  What else are they doing in jail?  There are people
outside paying real money to learn English.  He might actually be
doing some of those inmates a favor.

motherland.
