Sheriff Arpaio makes inmates pedal to watch TV
Sheriff Arpaio makes inmates pedal to watch TV
The Associated Press updated 3:32 p.m. ET, Mon., April 5, 2010 PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has started a program he calls "Pedal Vision," in which inmates pedal stationary bikes to generate electricity for television sets. The bikes are customized to turn on connected TV sets once inmates at Phoenix's Tent City Jail pedal enough to generate 12 volts of electricity. An hour of pedaling equals an hour of television. Arpaio said inmates only will be able to watch television if they choose to pedal. He said he started the program with female inmates because they seemed more receptive. Arpaio said the only exercise female inmates have been getting is speed-walking around the tent yard. He said Pedal Vision gives them a reason to get moving and a way to burn calories. ___ Information from: KNXV-TV, http://www.knxv.com/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36181192/ns/business/
