" You're certainly free to be smug and pontificate about crime and punishment..."  And you are free to say that I said something that I didn't say, all that does is show everyone your inability to read carefully.  Now that we've established that I DID NOT pontificate about crime and punishment, I can commend you for offering something that may be real facts about how Sheriff Arpaio actually treated inmates.  But what I'm really looking for is someone to offer trustworthy information from an unbiased source.
