Shaun Attwood – Writer/Campaigner/Inveterate Smiler…

Hard Handshake

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…

  1. I must admit that when I saw Erwin eyeballing the last of the spuds, I was tempted to stick a fork in his hand.
