Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he has an idea to make more room in his jail system and help keep it running at the same time.
The idea is a two-for-one deal for jailed illegal immigrants.
Arpaio said the jail is short-staffed in volunteers to wash dishes and do laundry. So he said anyone who is arrested under the new immigration law and offers to volunteer will get credited two days for every day spent in jail.
That means they are out in half the time, and in the Sheriff's words: They can move on to their next step, like deportation, faster. |
