Kos: How many inmates have died in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's jails? Who knows, but it's a big number.
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/24/1453929/-How-many-inmates-have-died-in-Sheriff-Joe-Arpaio-s-jails-Who-knows-but-it-s-a-big-number
From 1996 to 2015, the suicide rate among jail deaths in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's lockups was an astounding 24 percent, with 39 of the 157 hanging themselves.
Furthermore, of the 157 deaths listed on the sheriff's watch on the M.E.'s chart, 34 simply are tagged as having been found dead with no explanation as to cause of death. More mysteriously, another 39 died in the county hospital without explanation. That's 73 deaths — nearly half of all deaths — that county authorities list as "who knows?"
Why is the Justice Dept.silent about this asshole?
