DMX Threatens to Beat Up His Jailers

DMXDMX is officially on "lockdown status" in Arizona's Tent City Jail for one of the dumbest moves an inmate can make -- dude threatened to fight the guards.

After X failed to report for his medication, officials say the former platinum rapper began cussing at officers and threatened to "assault somebody to get some respect."

DMX was immediately thrown into lockdown and punished with a "special diet that is a form of bread and water."

It all started when he refused to report for work, telling officers, "I already have a job and don't need this (expletive)."

Sounds like he's finally reforming...

31. Sheriff Joe Arpaio should be forced to spend a month in his own jail - under cover somehow so that the CO's don't know who he is or what he may or may not have done. Jails are not meant to be human science labs where those in charge get to play with the inmates as though they are animals. Treat people like human beings in jails and the violence and threats will subside. And if you don't think I know what I'm talking about, I was a mental health counselor in a jail for several years. Arpaio runs a COUNTY JAIL. It is a place for convicted people and people just waiting for trial. It is a place for MINOR criminals. They don't deserve to be treated like they are less than human - why do we allow this to happen and then complain about the recidivism rate? Why do we give idiots with high school educations or less ultimate authority over incarcerated individuals? Its a recipe for violence and disaster - and that's exactly what exists in U.S. jails and prisons. For those of you laughing about DMX's predicament and "nutraloaf" - remember that the next time you commit some minor crime like smoking weed, driving while slightly intoxicated, ordisturbing the peace while you're drunk. It's not hard to end up in jail and I know that probably 80% of the c/o's I've met in my life have committed the same crimes that land people in the jails they're in charge of.

33. He still doesn't get it. He is serving time for being nothing more than a common criminal. His fancy life is somewhere far beyond the bars he now gets to look through everyday. He got a lucky break when he became famous, but despite fame and fortune, he still remained a low life loser.

35. Anyone who beats their dogs is a loser himself-a real tough guy. He's pathetic, and I won't buy his music. He's in the right place now, but for how long? By the way stupid push around those cops and see what happens later out of camera view.

36. i love ya DMX but your doing this jail house thing all wrong.
if he wants respect from the guards then that may mean that the inmates are giving him hell. he might need protection.
you people who are putting him down don't know anything about jail life. get someone on here who has been thru it and I'm sure they will explain his behavior.

43. D, Can you be any dumber? It's amazing how the Lord has blessed you with the many bounties that you have been blessed with, a lovely wife and family, success, and riches...and you continue to stupidly make mistakes that will eventually cost you all of it. In short, dang, man, grow up. Do you think the things that you are doing are cute? Do you think that acting like a doggone fool makes your children proud? What your children are seeing is the fulfillment of your ultimate demise...if you don't get a grip, and get it together. Man, I used to love how you had your stuff together...now, I can't even tell that you're the same person. You don't deserve the things that the Lord has blessed you with. A shame!

45. Nasty guy. If he wants to fight so badly, the guards should put him and Chris Brown in a ring together. It'd be like one of his dog fights, but this time actually use real animals!

LOSER!
