A lawyer's lawman; San Francisco sheriff Michael Hennessey is as unconventional as the city and county he serves

Article Abstract:

Michael Hennessey is as sheriff for the city and county of San Francisco director of a jail system known for being especially progressive and liberal and his jails' liberal programs have put him at odds with peers in other jurisdictions. Hennessey, also a graduate of law school, was overwhelmingly elected to his current job. Although some in the San Francisco legal community claim he would eventually make a fine judge, Hennessey is not interested in leaving his current job before retirement.
