Who’d a thought that Gov. Jerry (Moonbeam)Brown and Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio could be so much alike? We are no longer world class in health care or education. The way we treat prisoners is the lowest concern on the totem pole.We could take a lesson from countries who have excelled in all of these issues, and while humane, have a low recidivism rate – but our elected officials can’t be bothered.
Mark Fiore explains his cartoon.I know it’s sacrilege to mess with this song, but the days of Johnny Cash playing concerts in California prisons are over, replaced by Governor Jerry Brown whining about federal judges sticking their noses in our prisons. Never mind the deaths, sterilizations and lack of clean water, among other things.
