Cobb County sheriff's department declines interview

In an attempt to get both sides of the story concerning news reports that Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren denied jail inmates newspapers, Wingcom Watchdog received the following response from Glenn Daniel, senior communications specialist:

We appreciate your offer for a interview but, we respectfully decline

your offer. 

In response to a press release from the ACLU Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren offered the following statement...

“The ACLU press release is false and misleading. In an effort to provide the MDJ unparalleled access to the facts,  our command staff made themselves available for both a question & answer session and an impromptu tour of the Cobb County Adult Detention Facility. On one occasion the paper was not disseminated due to its possible impact on the safety and security of our staff and inmates. In conjunction with the writer and editor of the paper we were notified of the publishing date and on that one occasion the paper was not disseminated. No ban exists nor has one existed in the past and it is clear that the  intention of the ACLU is to mislead the public and further undermine their stated purpose."
