Shaun Attwood – Writer/Campaigner/Inveterate Smiler…
Hard Handshake
Had a great meeting with Shaun Attwood recently – a very nice lunch in my garden. Shaun almost ate all the potatoes from the three raised beds in the vegetable patch – clearly he is still recovering from the green baloney diet he was fed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio during his spell in Arpaio’s jail system in Maricopa County, Arizona a few years ago. Shaun’s book, Hard Time, (pictured,) covers his time in Arpaio’s custody when he started the world’s first blog by a prisoner. It’s a great read and a worthy first effort, well worth buying here for special fast delivery. I liked Shaun – an inveterate smiler who is campaigning hard through his book and his continued writing to bring to light the inhumanities of Joe Arpaio’s prisoner abuses. Good luck Shaun – it was a pleasure to shake your hand…
I must admit that when I saw Erwin eyeballing the last of the spuds, I was tempted to stick a fork in his hand.
Dear Erwin
What a fabulous piece in The Guardian today. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks so much.
Best wishes

Many thanks Erwin for your excellent article. Shaun gets his smiley face from his Mum!
We oculd do with the likes of Joe Arpaio in this country. Doubtless you denigrate his policies, luckily not too many think like you as he has been re-elected into office several times.
Keep going Joe!
