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.
Why don’t they investigate the one about Obama, taking away Food from our Military, the ones that are Fighting to help our Country?
What the hell are you talking about? Military personnel get a food allowance and they also buy their food at the commissary for 30% less than you would have to pay at the supermarket. I bet you are another dumb conservative who only knows how to parrot what Fox News tells you. Why can’t you find out the real facts yourself? Or is spending three minutes googling for info too much for you to handle?

I really want to know how DHS which was built to assist the elderly has become THIS! Talk about illegal expansion of duties!
You actually think the DHS; Department of Homeland Security was “built to assist the elderly”? What’s the highest level of education you have completed?
The whole system is fk up
Beverly, you need to do some homework!!!!!! DHS has NEVER been about the elderly!!!!!!!!! You might be thinking of THE DEPT. OF AGING.
