BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Erie County Sheriff’s Office is being sued for jail records. Again.
The Partnership for the Public Good, which asked for records last May, filed suit in December after its request for documents for the downtown holding center and Alden lockup was refused.
It’s the third time since 2018 that the sheriff’s office has been sued over jail records. In the two previous cases, courts ordered the sheriff’s office to provide requested documents.
“They don’t give up stuff they should give up,” said Nan Haynes, who sued the sheriff in 2018 to get records for the Buffalo chapter of the National Lawyers Guild.
“If they have something they don’t want to give up, you have to sue.” You can read the full story on Investigative Post's website.
