America’s Stance on Crime
Price: Free
The treatment of criminals in America will be explored at Lifetree Café on Sunday,
January 10 at 7 p.m.
The program, titled “Tough on Crime,” includes a film featuring Sheriff Joe Arpaio of
Maricopa County, Arizona. The controversial sheriff has been praised and criticized for
his treatment of prisoners. His jail prepares just two low-cost meals per day, restricts
television viewing, places inmates in desert tents, and requires prisoners to wear pink
underwear.
According to Lifetree Café representative Craig Cable, Lifetree participants will delve
into whether America’s justice system is too tough or not tough enough on crime. Cable
said, “Some claim that prisons infringe on personal civil liberties. Others feel that
prisons have become more like country clubs. We’ll explore whether America is more or
less safe as a result of our criminal justice system.”
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the corner of Union and 13th St., Arcata.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a
casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Bob at 707 672
