Editorial Reviews
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.

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.

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.

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.
