Sheriff Garcia's media flack tries to intimidate law firm, fails

Why Does the Sheriff's Department Want to Censor Our Law Firm Website? - Steph Stradley Blog

Ultimately, I am certain that running one of the busiest jails in the country isn't easy. And at least, [Alan] Bernstein agrees with our law firm site that Harris County Jail is not a fun experience that leaves some people feeling fatigued and humiliated. But doesn't the Sheriff's Department have better things to spend their money on than scouring the web to find unhappy words about them and send long, whiney letters? And what's with a former journalist using his position to try to censor other people's points of view?

Be sure to read the whole thing.

This isn't the first time Bernstein's heavy-handed approach has been questioned. The bullying tactics aren't that surprising given the source, but they don't make the department look all that great.
