 Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, is the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America." The inmates in his outdoor desert jail would probably agree. Dressed in pink underwear and being fed on a budget of $.33 a meal, they broil in the Arizona heat without air conditioning, television, or cigarettes. Filmmaker Ryan Noble spends a day with Sheriff Joe as he darts back and forth between his jail, community meetings, and the ever-present media opportunities. Between the various odd spectacles Joe lays out his philosophies about law enforcement and the future of America s penal system. In spite of the film s subtle jabs at the Sheriff, it was named in a billion dollar lawsuit against the Sheriff and Maricopa County, which saw its distribution permanently shut down.
