Interesting article quoted and linked below about DUI punishments in the Phoenix area. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is nationally famous, recognized by Larry King, and even prominent national politicians. He is currently most famous for his stance on illegal immigrants, but many people don’t know that if you get a DUI conviction in Phoenix, you will likely be jailed at his "tent city" facility. Now, you may also get to perform burials as a member of the DUI chain gang.
