Long-time Albany County, NY Sheriff Craig Apple talks about the innovative programs he’s instituted in his 38-year reign including inmates doing yoga and fostering pets and using empty beds for a homeless shelter. He’s thinking about running for state office to help write laws about bail reform and gun safety that are thought out and smart.Craig Apple, began working in law enforcement in 1987, rose through the ranks, serving as a corrections officer and deputy sheriff, and starting in 2011 as Albany County Sheriff. In that job he oversees nearly 750 employees and a $100 million budget. But he is most known perhaps for his innovative community engagement and inmate enrichments programs such as the Sheriff's Heroin Addiction Recovery Program (S.H.A.R.P.) and the Sheriff’s Inmate Fire Training Program. He enrolls inmates in Obama care and most recently has opened up unused space in his jail for the area’ homeless people.
