Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department Featured On MSNBC’s
Documentary Series “Lockup: Extended Stay”
The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department was recently featured on the MSNBC network’s “Lockup: Extended
Stay” documentary series.
First introduced during the summer of 2005, Lockup is described by MSNBC as “a documentary series that
gives a glimpse into life behind America’s maximum–security prison walls and exposes conditions at some of the
most notorious correctional facilities in the country.”
The Lockup franchise also features several spin–off series including
the original Lockup, Lockup: Raw, Lockup: World Tour, and Life
After Lockup.
As participants in Lockup: Extended Stay, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s
Department was profiled each week over the course of six, one–
hour episodes which depicted days in the lives of some of the inmates,
detainees and members of the Sheriff’s Department staff.
According to Sheriff Andrea J. Cabral, it was this rare opportunity

House of Correction, the Nashua Street Jail and the Chelsea Officer
Training Academy that was the impetus for participation in the series.
“It is not often that we have the chance to showcase the excellent work that is being done each and every day
by officers and staff here at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department,” said Sheriff Cabral. “We wanted to take
this rare opportunity to show the professionalism and dedication of the men and women who work in this Department.”
