Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will not be able to feed jailhouse images to the Internet, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled Judge Earl Carroll took 16 months to issue the preliminary injunction, which is in effect until a lawsuit involving Arpaio's defunct jail cam is resolved. Donna Hamm of Middle Ground Prison Reform, which brought the suit, hailed the ruling, saying it puts her group in a good position to permanently black out the camera. Arpaio's spokesman, Jack MacIntyre, played down the significance of the ruling. Arpaio's jail cam was launched in July 2000 to give the public a glimpse of life in jail and was unplugged in April when the private host, Crime.com, shut down. MacIntyre said Arpaio may ask the judge to reconsider his ruling if he finds a new company to host the site. |
