Arpaio gets inmates moving on electricity-generating cyclesArpaio gets inmates moving on electricity-generating cyclesMaricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is implementing a new inmate program at Tent City Jail called “Pedal Vision.”#xdvd ripperThe program uses inmate-powered cycles to generate electricity for televisions.Reports say Arpaio’s recent visit to Tent City inspired the idea,Positive Plate, when he saw that many of the inmates were overweight.The stationary bikes are customized so that as an inmate pedals,dvd rippera connected television is powered once the cycle generates 12 volts of electricity.One hour of pedaling equals one hour of television viewing for the inmates,#x according to Arpaio.Arpaio said the inmates will only be able to watch television in the television room if they choose to pedal."I started with the females because they seemed more receptive to the idea," Arpaio said. "The only exercise the females get right now is speed-walking around the tents yard and few are doing that.#x This gives them a reason to get moving and a way to burn up to 500 calories an hour. They won't be charged a monthly gym fee but they will have to sign a contract."Sheriff Arpaio debuted the pilot program on April 1.相关的主题文章:
