And we get to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's jail intake.
So in sheriff's jail, this yeah.
That's the outfit.
Here's the trousers.
And then it's pink underwear.
pink underwear so I'll give you a bit of background on Sheriff Joe then because my book Hard Time is the middle section we're almost at that but that's probably the best seller because if my wife was if my life was crazy before jail it's about to get 10 times crazier in this jail so Sheriff Joe Arpaio then
He prided himself on being America's toughest sheriff.
He had two TV shows, Smile You're Under Arrest, where people with outstanding warrants would get awarded a prize in the mail.
They'd go to the spot to pick the prize up and the sheriff and his goons would jump up and arrest them.
And also, Inmate Idol, like a talent contest, he had a website where you got to look at the mugshots of the newly arrested prisoners and vote on who was the ugliest.
But behind that facade, he created an extremely dangerous environment.
So...
Nat Geo did my Locked Up Abroad episode and they researched it.
And I think around 50, 60 people died in that jail around the time I was there over five years, period.
And that makes that jail the jail with the highest rate of death in America.
Now, people can Google this.
It wasn't just the gang members murdering people like Scott Wilson for his Onyx ring, the AB.
It was also the guards murdering people, murdering mentally ill people, murdering veterans, and they even murdered a blind person.
So Scott Norberg was a mentally ill guy wandering the neighborhood.
They brought him in.
