Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu Sued by National Prison Legal News, With Help From ACLU

• Prison Legal News was created for it's main purpose: To deliver news and information for the inmates, the imprisoned people. Then why not allow it be read by them? I foresee that PLN will surely win the case.

• i'm tellin' you.  this a good ole' fashion story of REAL AMERICAN CORRUPTION.  one does not have to read a ficticious novel, or watch a "made for tv movie".  it's right here in our backyard of ole' arizona. sheriff babeu, a mistake you say?  c'mon man!  there are only but so many airheads that'll fall for that line(lie).  if you want my vote again you're gonna have to start givin' up some truth and justice.  you know what i mean?  you gotta use taxpayer and government funds, and monies confiscated from criminal drug dealers for the benefit of us citizens and not for "good times" away in other states for yourself, friends and family.  you need to start walkin' the straight and narrow sheriff.  after all, you're suppose to be the sheriff.  if i can't look to you as  a purveyor of "truth and justice" and "doin' the right thing",  then i might as well live a life of corruption and deception of taxpayers too.  yeah, right!  NOT!!!!!  wanting to behave like you is not within the realm of my possibilities sheriff.  my mind is much bigger. i hope you stop this stuff sheriff.  please don't give us taxpayers one lawsuit after another like arpiao has done in maricop.  but, something tells me you're gonna continue down your crooked path. 

• this is some good stuff lucy babeu.  it's all slowly making sense.  some of the details you give fill in a lot of blanks for me.  including some of the years back in north adams.  i'm assuming you've got more, at least i hope so.  i'll be watching.

• sheriff paul your word "mistake" is quite the understatement since it's gonna cost pinal county alot of money.

• Sheriff Paul saying it was a mistake? I would say violations of rights. Nice try Paul, this is where training comes in, not on your St. Louis Trip. Everyone of your employees should be on the same page of the rules and regulations. And when they are not, it falls on your lack of leadership. You need to spend money on where it is need in Pinal County. Not on a trip to feed your own ego. I notice your brother Shaun was there and brother Peter, who is a know rapist. He has admitted to raping both of your sisters Mary and Theresa. Peter is sitting next to Judge Shaun in the picture.Did you pay his way too? Any what about Shaun?  Does your sister Mary know, who lives with Mom and Dad in AZ, and was not at St. Louis, know you invited Peter to this trip? You are just a sick brother and so is Shaun? I think maybe she needs to be sent the picture. Your are a real snake. And by the way, where was Shaun's wife Brandy?  Is a divorce happening? The only mistake is having you for the Sheriff. How many people that helped you with your campaign have you turned on? I am sure the number is climbing. Quit asking for money that you only put in your pocket. You did it in North Adams, MA and you are doing again in AZ. People in Pinal County are smarter than you think. Everyone is sick of your so called mistakes. Lucy Babeu

• From what I hear, yes. It's rather scary to think that our dementia-suffering shurf still has a valid license.

• Is Danny Trejo standing in a hole or what? Had no idea the dude was so short. Looks more like a pen knife than a  "machete.."

• They have crooked screws to bring in the contraband, US mail is not required. It is rumored to be easier to score inside of jail or prison than it is on the street.

• No, I was not wondering what crooked paio does.  Pls don't mention his dirty name when it's not necessary.  You just ruined my dinner.

• Contraband can always be tossed over the fence to a waiting detainee (and apparently it's also possible to shoot at the detainees from outside the jail as well). Sheriff Joe even held a press conference about it, not realizing he was showing everyone how poorly-run his jails are in the process.

• It is the jail or prisons responsibility to make sure nothing illegal comes in with the mail. But out right not allowing anything but postcards is ridiculous. I can understand hardcover books not being allowed due to the possibility of using them as weapons, but if the cover is removed those should be allowed as well simply because many legal volumes only come in hardcover. If people are expected to reintegrate back into society upon their release they can't be completely cut off from the outside world via only allowing postcards, if it means prison and jail officials need to do a better job making sure nothing illegal gets in then that is their responsibility.

• What are the rules in prisons, rather than jails?

• Ross, I will disagree with you on this point. It makes sense to control the type of mail being sent to detainees. Please understand, it's for the good of the detention officers and the safety of the detainees to not have contraband introduced into the facility. I don't think this policy within MCSO has anything to do with 'protecting' their own...

• Does he still hold a valid driver license?

• Yes, but Sheriff Joe only allows inmates to receive postcards (nothing in envelopes) from relatives and friends on the outside.  And they have to be bought from the Post Office; you can't make your own, even if they are the same size and weight.  If inmates are treated as humans, they are less likely to commit crimes when they are released, and employment in the ranks of law enforcement will decline.  The cops have to protect their own.

• Paul Wright, Many thank you for helping educate the incarcerated in Arizona. This should be required reading in the schools and colleges and available in the school libraries.  Reality and the truth seems to be what the political elite want erased from public view.Prison Legal News should be read by ALL the public so they ca actually learn something about the broken criminal justice system that has made the U.S. #1 Jailer in the world. As Arizona jams 5,000 private prison beds down our throats, where there is NO oversight, NO transparency and NO accountability. Private prison profiteers looking for "customers" in their midst and to import those who other states want to dump in Arizona.

• Shurf Paul Buffoon has really learned well from his hero and mentor, the MCSO shurf, on how to get yourself sued. The Flaccid Fool has gotten Maricopa County sued so many times it has cost taxpayers $50 million+ just to defend the lawsuits and $43 million+ just in judgments, payouts, and settlements. If memory serves me, the Flaccid Fool and Candy Andy tried to censor NT over land purchases the Old Fool made, about $790K in cash money. Given that the Senile Spinster makes about $100,000/year, plus any income his wife makes, there is simply no way that the Old Goat could afford his lavish crib in Fountain Hills, plus the really expensive car I hear he drives, and all the other properties he owns.  

• Here's more on Paul Babeu, column by retired cop Bill Richardson in EVTribune. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/opinion/columnists/article_768ec824-d4d9-11e0-966b-001cc4c03286.html (The comment by Babeu's sister is a revelation. Other than that,  the majority of commenters are by those who typically view facts and people with three-digit IQ's as a threat.)

• The first step for any NAZI regime is to sensor the information allowed to be viewed. Arizona is well on it's way to becoming just that.
