If I may submit a correction. There is indeed a Suffolk County Correctional Facility, Riverhead Jail and it’s offshoot in Yaphank. Riverhead has Maximum security, etc… Here is the link http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/sheriff/PublicInformation/TheCorrectionalFacilities.aspx
Thanks for the tip – it seems though that Riverhead and Yaphank are only medium and maximum security, and I doubt (and hope!) that garbage pickup for lobster poaching is a maximum security offense 🙂
