Access to information

Oh, if only all public agencies provided information like this. Les Garcia from the San Joaquin Sheriff's Department just e-mailed this notice:

"We've added a new feature to assist the public and media with access to information of inmates currently in the San Joaquin County Jail."

Check out "Who's In Custody" on the sheriff's department Web site.

Now if only reporters had easier access to inmates at California's state prisons for face-to-face interviews.
