I dunno, he seems to have his fair share of detractors too... And I tell you this most of the prisoners are minimum risk. They are either people who couldn't make bail, awaiting trial, or are serving a year or less.
The Sheriffs system seems very draconian for prisoners who haven't been convicted of a serious crimes. Sheriff jail isn't supposed to be a SUPERMAX. He also seems to love publicity...

He also plenty of detractors.

General -His brutal tactics has gotten the state sued several times...
