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.
Hang Him High until the rope rotts 😉
Called DHS to report a request for public records? That should scream he has something to hide. DHS should tell him to pack it. Time to get the courts involved.
THERE IS NO REASON THESE RECORDS SHOULD BE PUBLIC. QUOTE GRAND PA
Fire the bum. He’s not worth keeping on the payroll.
ppl turning in each other to DHS already- just wait- they’ll have us all against each other b4 long
They got scared the truth was going to be exposed. Why else do you think?
the EPA called me
What did the EPA call you???
What does the sheriff have to hide from,that he doesn’t want anyone to check into the complaints come from the jail.
They Want To Know Everything You Do, But We Aren’t Allowed To Know What They Are Doing Sounds Like East Germany Stasi To Me…..
