Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Sheriff. It's Quentin can Tariff for Picks one
oh six calling sir, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm doing well and you guys, we're good.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Sheriff Craig Apple. I saw your post yesterday.
Speaker 4 (00:09):
You were not happy with a special that WRGV CBS
six ran with heavy criticism on the Albany Correction facility.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I saw you steam it about it.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I know you take that very personally.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, yeah, actually I did, because you know what we
work hard up there. Listen, we're in the law manned business.
We're in the business to protect people. We're in the
business to keep people from coming back to the jail.
We're in the people in the business to keep people
a fresh start, and that's what they do up there.
And for them to gather a group like that and
to be just so unbalanced and unbalanced and biased towards
(00:45):
the men and women who work hard up there every
single day, it just it was insulting. I did take
it personal, first of all, Channel six. They were very
deceitful and how they set it up and I will
not let that pass.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And they want you on the panel, Sheriff. Did they
ask you to be on the panel?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I got an email towards the end of last week
asking me to go on the panel. It was a
panel that was going to be very broad and talk
about prison violence. They also said they invited the county
executive and they invited members of the union. I was
with the county executive and the deputy county executive. None
(01:23):
of them were ever asked to sit on a panel.
The union was never asked to sit on a panel.
And again I was asked to sit on a panel
about very broad prison violence, which listen, obviously, if you're
looking at the news, there is an issue there. Everybody
else that sat on the panel was asked to sit
on a panel about violence inside the county correctional facility,
(01:46):
which I find appalling. And if you want to talk
about the panel itself, we had a couple former inmates
on there. Total bs to begin with, because the one
guy as he was put in a cell with a junkie.
We don't double bunk. We don't double bunk. First of all,
you weren't put in a cell with anybody else, So
(02:07):
that's a blatant line.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
The one person talks about her husband and her son
being in there, or another relative being in there. All
of these crimes have been investigated. Everything they talk about
layers of oversight, we have more layers of oversight?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Are they false?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Was that a false story too?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
What's going on over these are advocates for the prisoners.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, and they are necessary, sure.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Of course, But like it sounds like they're making stories up.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
They're making a lot of stories up. And that's what
I'm taking personal. All Right. I understand where the police
we're not everybody's fan favorite. I also understand that things
do happen in the jail. We've arrested our own. Last
month we arrested one. We do police ourselves. But you
know what if people don't think we do. You have
the Aubanney County District Attorney who reviews uses of force
(02:58):
that are forwarded to them. You have the State Commission
of Corrections. You have the New York State Attorney General.
There's several layers of oversight here. But when you don't
get what you want, you scream and yell and become
very disingenuous, and you put a group of fabulous together
and this is the final product. You have another young
(03:19):
guy on the on the panel who said, well, sure,
if have to comment that we want to get we
want the keys to the jail. That person also started
off one of the meetings when I met with him,
who said, let me be very forth to coming share.
I don't believe in jails.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Oh okay, you don't believe in jails until something horrific
happens to you or a member of your family or
another loved one, anybody.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
We're there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
What's your next step about this? I mean, do you
want to have like, yeah, I know, who can we get?
We get a public boxing event or something. Put you
in some soccer boppers or whatever. Blow those things up
and they really just lay into somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Listen, my issue is this. You know me, I am
a pragmatist. I will try to work with anybody. We
will find common ground and we'll keep moving the chains forward.
But I will not sit back and have a local
news station come up with a bunch of bs and
put a bunch of people on a panel that's very
unbalanced and try to sell this to the general public.
(04:20):
Let's talk about the victims. Let's talk about not going
to jail.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
That was interesting posts people conveniently forget the choices that
landed them there in the first place, is what you wrote.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I mean they still, of course have they their have
their rights, of course. I mean that's that's the beauty.
I mean, still at least of this morning, I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Do you know I had a county legislator asked me
at one of our meetings, Sheriff, I got a call
from a mom who said her son's afraid to go
back to jail. Well, God, damn, I call that a win.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I call that success, Sheriff Craig Apple. We appreciate the
time he's talking about. Channel six is Silence behind Bars special? Yeah,
but which we watched on YouTube. I don't know whin
it air? Win died it air, Sheriff.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It was aired last night.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah all right, so yeah it's over on YouTube. But
you know they take to take you that into account,
and you can, of course, I'm sure take it. You
can call the sheriff anytime, because he's not that busy
and ask him yourself, Sheriff.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Appreciate the time and the honesty this morning, see a sheriff.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Be safe.
