The simple fact is that the positive energy shared by Shaun received no help whatsoever from Arpaio's system, because Arpaio cannot afford the truth to be known. This book should be the first volume in a series, with other ex-prisoners writing of their experiences. And what about people like Shaun's mother, who suffered a great deal? Let their story be told!<br /><br />Only a primitive fear-based society incapable of controling it's 'leaders' could allow such appalling things to continue. People are like small saplings - you can snap branches off, and it will still grow, but it will never become a good tree. When we nurture people we see as failures with all the care taken of the very best Japanese Bonsai trees, our society may step forward. Until then, our society merely repeats again and again it's mistakes, as those in power siphon vast resources for their enjoyment alone, leaving a growing underclass.

Name the book hmm, as much as I tried I couldn't not keep thinking about it!!!!<br /><br />So here's my offerings for what they are worth, all five of them- <br /><br /> 1 A Stain On Society- (in an attempt to make it punchy whilst copying the same idea as 'In cold blood' by Capote with a twist in its meaning with Joe being the stain! <br /><br /> 2 Nickle Bag Justice (a play on the fact that Joe's nickname is Nickle Bag Joe) <br /><br /> 3 Down With The Pigs (again using the word pigs to mean Police officials and the conditions the inmates are living in)<br /><br /> AND LASTLY MY FAVOURITE ONE............. <br /><br /><br /> 4 Chow For Now. I don't think I need to expalin the double meaning here. <br /><br /> 5 ...Another Mans Heaven (based on the public supporty Sheriff Joe receives for his hard line system that he is so proud of)<br /><br />I was gouing to incorporate Bologna Sandwices into a title but found it tough. <br /><br />I can rest now as I have at least submitted!!! <br /><br />Best of luck with the book, I want a signed copy anyway! <br /><br />IainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-76815994177916547852010-02-05T07:24:42.841-08:002010-02-05T07:24:42.841-08:00Rita Abraham,

He's leaning towards "Hard Time: A Brit In America's Toughest Jail" so Rita may be getting a copy of the book. However the US title is probably going to be different from the UK title, or at least the subtitle, and I think Arpaio's name is a must in the US title or subtitle.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894626355758041112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-38568471440541075752010-02-05T03:01:54.783-08:002010-02-05T03:01:54.783-08:00Bloke,

"Publicity Stunt Man" or "Myth or Legend" followed by "The True Story of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, The Self Proclaimed Toughest Sheriff in America."<br /><br />What would be perfect is a title that would force Arpaio to make some kind of public statement and maybe get him to go on a talk show with you. I think you could pull this off if you goad him a little bit and, more importantly, he thinks he can get some publicity out of the deal. <br /><br />LOL,<br /><br />Weird AlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-18439469542989903622010-02-05T00:57:26.663-08:002010-02-05T00:57:26.663-08:00I'd say that having Sheriff Joe's name in ...I'd say that having Sheriff Joe's name in the title is important. His "brand" needs to be exposed more and of course he will discredit you, but even negative publicity is publicity and will sell books.<br /><br />What was your prisoner number? How about something like Sheriff Joe Called Me Prisoner XXXX?<br /><br />How many people statistically get out of an Arizona prison and actually become successful? I know it is too few. Maybe you can do something with that? It is way past time for me to hit the sack, so I am afraid you are not getting my best brain cells. I'll keep pondering and let you know if I come up with anything better.<br /><br />Be well!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983559276348982926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-18434232426301104092010-02-04T17:01:12.807-08:002010-02-04T17:01:12.807-08:00oooh, the Dickens references are nice!
