Ariz. Sheriff Deputies Use Pink Handcuffs
Associated Press, Thu Jan 13 2005 (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=817&e=5&u=/ap/pink_handcuffs)
PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies began using fluorescent pink handcuffs Thursday to transport inmates.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he introduced the pink handcuffs because he was tired of losing them to his own deputies and other law enforcement agencies. Arpaio said he assumes nobody else has pink handcuffs, so they will be easy to spot.
He ordered 1,000 of the pink handcuffs, which are made in England. They cost 60 cents more than silver ones. Patrol deputies will still carry the silver cuffs, which they pay for themselves.
Maricopa County inmates wear pink boxers and sleep on pink sheets.
