“An Arizona sheriff known for his tough jail policies is offering basic English classes to inmates who do not speak the language and might make it a requirement if prisoners stop volunteering for the courses.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Tuesday that the inability of some inmates to speak the language has caused problems for his jail officers and even prompted complaints from English-speaking prisoners.”
