DESCRIPTION:
(from A&E's web site, August 2025) “Family Lockup” follows a groundbreaking re-entry program in which estranged family members of inmates attempt to rebuild their broken relationships from within prison walls to help their incarcerated loved ones regain the support that can help them stay out of jail—for good. From “60 Days In” producer Lucky 8 and “Hip Hop Homicides” producer Monami Productions, the series tracks family members who spend two nights behind bars, alongside their inmate-relatives, in the Hampden County Jail in Hampden County, MA, part of an initiative instituted by Sheriff Nick Cocchi that redefines correctional rehabilitation and spotlights the critical role family dynamics play, both in incarceration and in the reintegration of individuals for whom jail can be a revolving door. The series will follow 10 families as they navigate this transformative journey. The series also features Psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere, who facilitates intense sessions between inmates and their loved ones to rebuild fractured relationships and foster empathy that can make a crucial difference upon an inmate’s release. Confronted with the stark reality of incarceration, family members risk their own safety to resolve issues and mend broken bonds as they attempt to provide a lifeline they hope can turn things around. With no guarantees, family members must ultimately decide if they can stay in the inmates’ lives or will need to cut ties. Will the process help pave the way for healing and reunion for these 10 families or will some inmates find themselves facing reintegration alone? |
