Sheriff Normal Dalton from Lewisburg, TN called the Dept. of Homeland Security on Alex Friedmann, editor for the Prison Legal News, after Friedmann made a request for public records.
Friedmann had been working on a column after hearing of complaints coming out of the jail.
He’s now suing the sheriff for refusing to release these public records.
“I think that’s very alarming and very disturbing that a law enforcement officer can do a background check, and in this case actually drove in to check my residence in person just because I filed a public records request with his agency,” Friedmann said.
One local bail bondsman states that prisoners only get 2 meals a day, not 3, and that the sheriff’s office gets a commission off of commissary sold at the jail.
well if he’s up for re-election this year, i dont think he’ll have to worry about being in office anymore.
Probably in w/regime
Sheriff must be a liberal, can break the law and think its ok
im not for any law enforcement officers anymore, and i use to be one. I wouldnt help one on a dare.
traitors
Land of the free
Home of the caged
cops are all traitors to America…the new NAZI’S
This Sheriff is a traitor and should be voted out
Between Federal, State and Local Police there are over 1.5 million officers. It is a shame that a handful, less than 1% have been actively abusing their positions. But in a pool this large there are bound to be a few bad apples. Do not allow the publicity given to a few bad officers to turn you against the multitude of good Police.

This ‘law officer’ needs to be removed from his position. He is attempting to use unnecessary force and intimidation. Believe he falls under organized crime laws at this point!
