 Jail, The American Way, 22-minutes, 2007 (Ref: 108tvc)
 
     
The United States is cracking down on crime.It now has the highest prison population in the world. Over two million Americans are behind bars. The sentences are getting longer and the punishments harsher.Has US prison policy abandoned belief in rehabilitation? We visited an Arizona prison where Joe Arpaio, the County Sheriff, is in charge of the prison and the chain gang. He has been called "America's toughest sheriff". Though the programme he runs is highly controversial, voters love it. Sheriff Arpaio has won landslide victories in the last three elections because he has saved the local administration a fortune.
