as a result, he spent his first 30 days at suffolk county in segregation. but now he's on his way to general population where he will have more privileges and time outside his cell. >> today i'm getting out of the hole. i'm going go play with the big kids in the big box now. i'm pretty excited. when you go to a new unit, you don't know who's on that unit or whatever. could be a lot of small time units. so i'll see what's going on. 30 days since i got to put a pair of sneakers on. my new unit. see what's going to happen. >> 2-4, open. >> daniel esdale has spent the last four months living and working in the jail's infirmary hoping good behavior would convince jail officials to overlook his history of fighting and grant him a transfer to general population. >> he actually got to a point where he had a detail in medical where he served food to the other inmates and cleaned the unit, so he came a lot farther than we ever anticipated him coming. >> esdale did finally get a transfer, but definitely not the one he wanted. he's back in the box. >> i'm in segregatio

year-old nick bebonis, back-to-back arrests have led to a revolving door relationship with boston's suffolk county jail. >> the stays in here getting longer and the stays on the street keep getting shorter. i was in for three and a half months, i was out for eight days, now i've been back for two months. eight days. most of my record is armed robberies, they're all comprised of a couple of blocks, sometimes a project, sometimes an entire neighborhood, certainly. in almost every case, every group has some sort of serious feud with at least four to five other groups within the city of boston. >> and over the past 10 years, the structure of those gangs has changed and that's had a serious impact on the jail. >> such as it was, there was a bit of a code about what you did and what you didn't do. and that seems to have gone by the wayside, and what that translates into is some of this wild west mentality and sort of shooting for any slight, real or imagined. >> that's just how it is. bank robber robs banks, a nurse helps patients, gang members shoot each other. >> back to the [ bleep ]. >> 22-ye

even behind the walls of the city's primary detention facility, the suffolk county jail. >> i grew up in the south end, part of the city of boston, which is our neighborhood, not far from the facility. within seven years of this job i found i knew most people that i should know from childhood, from high school, and just from the neighborhood itself. >> inmates, too, often find themselves among friends and relatives. >> we're brothers, that's right. >> though not all inmates are housed in the same facility, those who have only been charged with a crime and are awaiting trial are held at the nashua street jail until the resolution of their case. those who are convicted and receive sentences of two-and-a-half years or less will usually serve their time four miles away at the house of correction. >> top of the world. 15 minutes! i told you. i told you. it was going to be nothing. >> it's a place sal giuliano has become very familiar with over the years. [ bleep ] >> keep a small circle. >> my buddy shayne, mini me. >> south boston's in the house over here. >> we got one for you. >> what's

located just outside downtown is a key landmark in that battle, the suffolk county jail. >> the jaila maximum security facility, it holds anyone who is arrested and held on a bail they can't make. that could be someone charged with shoplifting and it is very frequently someone charged with homicide. >> unlike prison where all inmates have been convicted and sentenced, most jail inmates have only been charged with crimes and are innocent until proven guilty. suffolk county has an average daily population of 700 such detainees, along with nearly 2,000 other inmates who have been convicted and are serving short sentences. >> we're the largest sheriff's department in the northeast. so we're moving a lot of people in and out of here and trying to do a lot with them in the relatively short period of time we have them. the people who get that job done every single day, do a remarkable job. >> in some units, a lone officer supervises inmates, like a beat cop on the streets, it allows him to build rapport and actually has been proven to reduce fighting. >> i'll talk to you later. >> but in ja

. >> the suffolk county jail is often the first stop for bostonians who find themselves under arrest. male inmates who are awaiting trial and have yet to make bail are detained at the nashua street facility, where the daily population averages about 700. if they have been convicted of a crime and are sentenced to less than two and a half years, most will transfer to the nearby house of correction, which averages 1, 00 inmates. while their charges vary, nearly all of them will need to confront the truths of their pasts if they hope to avoid coming back. >> it may be a history of abuse, and neglect, a lack of education, lack of job history, substance abuse issues, you name it. >> but there's another issue that is also bringing more people to jail. not only in boston but nationwide. >> the percentages of mental illness are off the charts. they are shocking. it's much harder once people begin to get older to tackle those deficits that have been growing and growing and growing over a period of time. >> though he was deemed competent enough to understand his charges and stand trial, a lifel

i think he's on suffolk long island. let's listen in. >> i want to thank the residents of suffolk county who were smart and who were considerate and who were community oriented and stayed off the roads, which made a tremendous difference. the reason why the main roads are clear this morning is because the plows could actually do their work. there is no doubt in my mind as the county executive mentioned, we've seen it both ways. we've seen snowstorms where the roads were left open and people continue to come out. we were warninging them all day long about the snow. they got in their cars and came out and got on the l.i.e. and stranded on the l.i.e. and we are a really dangerous situation. we've seen it done that way and we've seen it done this way, which had a trsk ban at 11:00. by the way, 11:00, i don't know how many people are driving around in a blizzard after 11:00 anyway. but we had the traffic ban. people stayed in their homes. they listened and we've only had literally a small handful of minor accidents in the ent

. >> we'll be redeploying most of the equipment to long island and specifically to suffolk. we are lifting all the traffic bans on the roads at 8:00. nassau suffolk, new york city westchester rockland olster the 13 county area that was affected will be lifted at 8:00. >> but the forecast spot on as you head north. montauk two hours northeast of the city is buried under as much as 18 inches of snow. continuing up the coast. new london connecticut, under a state of emergency along with the rest of connecticut under more than half a foot of snow. like most of the northeast, schools and businesses remain closed. this is plumb island massachusetts. much of the north shore seems to be taking the brunt of the storm with up to two feet of snow expected. this will likely go down as one of the top five storms in state history. power outages are a big concern now because it could take days to make the repairs. cnn crews are fanned out across the northeast as this storm churns its way up the coast and dumps even more snow along the way. so let's head straight to massachusetts. check out

at the suffolk county jail in boston, massachusetts. we encountered another program jail brake. >> just remember when you are visiting here. you're going to get experience what it is to be in jail. they're going to have you empty everything out of your pockets, put into locker. make sure you take everything out of your pockets, all right? hat, you take the hat off. show some respect. take everything out of your pockets. change, quarter, nickels, anything, bus passes. >> when we film in a prison or a jail, we do do our best to be a fly on the wall. in the case of jail brake, you know, these kids came in, and, yeah, they were definitely aware of the camera. >> are you scared? >> are you scared? how about you? >> no. >> you're not scared right now? >> no. >> there is no reason to be scared, to tell you the truth. >> at the same time i don't think it was necessarily the camera that affected them in the way that they had an attitude or they had the certain bravado. i think it was more relating to age. >> everybody stand up. come over there.

suffolk county police give it another go. and finally -- >> we weren't going to stop until we got the car out. >> thank you guys so much. i appreciate it. >> matthew is out of the ditch. and after a few thank you hugs he's on his way home to dry off and get warm. >> i was talking about new england. this was the scene in scituate massachusetts tonight. take a listen. >> some have been encouraged to leave. scituate is an example of that. there's the 19's tim caputo. i'm hearing winds are gusting at 40 miles an hour as we speak and that's why they took the unusual step of intentionally shutting off power to parts of the town. what's the latest? >> yeah, you could just see it from my hood here. i decided to put it up because i was tired of getting whipped in the face from all the sand coming off the beach there. but this is not just strong winds. they're sustained winds. you almost have to brace yourself and lean into it a little bit. they have been strong winds for several hours out here in scituate. having problems in the past

this is mehlville new york that is in suffolk county out on the island. governor cuomo expected to take the podium. we just heard from the governor shortly after 1:00 and that is when he informed us that the subway system in the big apple would scale back considerably starting around 7:00 or 8:00. long island railroad shutting down tonight and the same for metro. a state of emergency has been declared in new york. travel restrictions have been put in place but expecting to hear more from governor andrew cuomo. updating us on storm conditions any moment now and when it happens we'll take you there live. blizzard 2015 wreaking havoc on air travel in the north east. online, flight tracker, flight aware, showing right now more than 6,000 flights have been canceled today and tomorrow already. we expect to see that number climb. new york area airports taking the brunt of the closure with 2,000 arrivals and in new york and philadelphia more than half have been canceled and boston logan after 7:00 no flights are allowed in or out of boston logan. in philadelphia,

farther out in suffolk, gotten 25 inches already. so there's no question how serious this how serious it was projected and the kind of precautions that we had to take. the good news is that the people of the city understood how serious the threat was. they took the travel ban seriously and got off the roads after 11:00 p.m. and that allowed the sanitation department to do an extraordinary job. i spent this morning in different parts of the city. i was out in bay side and howard beach in jamaica center. i was out in staten island and highland boulevard and other parts of staten island. what you saw was an extraordinarily effective response by the sanitation department. and that is in no small measure because people did a great job of getting out of the way and helping sanitation to do what they do so well. they, of course were out all night nonstop and they continue to work intensely to keep clearing the city up and getting us back to normal. just recapping, of course at 7:30 a.m. today, in coordination with the state of new york we l

reflect the personality of the city itself and no better example of that is when we filmed inside suffolk county jail, boston, massachusetts. >> [ bleep ] >> he's boston. get familiar. don't get it twisted. he's boston in this. >> in boston it was almost like we got to learn the lay of the land because people talk so much about the different neighborhoods in the area they were from. everyone in boston was proud of their neighborhood and different represents it once they were inside and kind of stuck to the people that they knew from their neighborhoods inside. >> i'm boston. he's boston. not dorchester, charlestown. east boston. >> do you know -- >> how many movies have they made on east boston? >> listen, you know the movie "the rat." whitey bulger. [ bleep ]. that's the claim to fame. >> no, he ain't! >> yes, sir, that's all he's got. that's all he's got. >> they're from chelsea. >> you live in chelsea? >> see you later. >> i'm out of here. >> the inmates in boston shared more than neighborhood pride. they also knew how to throw a punch. >> every day. we respond to fights every day, som

joining us on the phone right now is suffolk county executive steve ballone.s storm is still going on. if you move east of islip, the airport there in islip and move out towards the hamptons and montauk, it's still pretty awful, right? >> yeah, absolutely. there are parts of the region here in new york that feel like they dodged a bullet. but in suffolk county we were hit by it and hit hard. and the storm is still going on. on the east end of long island out in montauk, other areas out there, in the hamptons the snow is still falling and we have more than two feet of accumulation in large parts of the county huge amount of snow to move out of the way. >> and so already two feet, let's say. are you expecting more in the coming hours or is it basically over? >> we think it's wrapping up. there's maybe a little more coming down at this point. now we turn to the mass operation of removing the snow. and it actually worked out. the governor's travel ban that was put in place worked really effectively. we had a nor'easter a couple of years ago where we had hundreds o

this is suffolk county. they are getting hit. it's deserted. we've seen a couple folks who are digging out. we've seen a couple plows. one of the strategies which was a strategy that new york city mayor incorporated, was getting people off the streets. this was strategic in an attempt to make sure that all the main avenues, all of the thoroughfares were cleared and cleared quickly. any time a plow or the snow machines have to stop and go around a vehicle slows the process down. they wanted to make sure especially in new york city that things were up and running more quickly than they would otherwise have been. here on long island it's 10:20. you can see it is so quiet. people haven't even started to dig their cars out because frankly you just are going to have to do it all over again. so the decision they made out here in suffolk county was the right one. they lifted the travel ban but no one is driving. it's still dangerous. it's slippery and slick. main roads have been done but side ones haven't. as you say, it's one of those situations where

suffolk county montauk is part of suffolk county. of snow removal equipment ready to go. but if they can't see, they can't get that equipment on the roads. and that means heavier and heavier equipment is going to have to be brought out to take care of that we're concerned, local authorities are concerned about power. the wind is whipping up. it's getting stronger and stronger. and anything above 30 miles per hour will become problematic for power lines. now we're up to about 50. gusts could go up to 70 according to the national weather service, so wind is going to continue to be an issue and you have beach erosion, which is a major issue from this community that's been traumatized by superstorm sandy. a lot of the beaches are destroyed. and when it comes to the tides here it's going to it's not just about how far it comes up. it matters where the waves are breaking. if they're breaking out further in the ocean. that means the beaches aren't going to be pounded. but if the waves are going to be breaking near the beach itself that's wh

suffolk county orient got more than 28 inches of snow during the storm. that is where we find nbc's ron allen. ron, is it still snowing and windy on long island as well? >> reporter: take a look around. we're here at the far end of the north fork of long island orient. this is the place that got the hardest hit. 28 inches of snow. can you hear me? >> i can hear you just fine, ron. you keep going, brother. >> reporter: can you guys hear me? >> you know what let's go back to ron allen in a second. we're having some problems there with our satellite technology. it's a blizzard. it's going to happen. air travel though slowly resuming at newark airport in new jersey. most flights remain canceled at laguardia and jfk airports. passengers on one virgin atlantic flight were left overnight in the deserted jfk airport in new york city. they were given nothing more than -- nothing more than a $15 mcdonald's voucher, we're told. they couldn't leave because of the city's travel ban. couldn't even get to their luggage. felix coones is one of those passengers and joins

[ laugh ] i thought you said "that was me, mom." [ laughter ] >> 5:53, you may still need to break the shovel out the more east you travel, more snow you'll find, may be a a grading everyone county over, a difference of 6 inches of snow. that sharp after contrast. here on storm scan, see what has taken place. quieter weather further inland, with more scattered snow showers moving through but the snow hasn't real had i a chance to let up at all. as go out to the coast, soy, see it all tapers through midday, left with two-4 inches we

we were lucky enough to ride along with the suffolk county police department.one point we were able to walk across one of the busiest highways in all of america. it just completely deserted. there were no cars out there. at some point, the snow was falling so hard, visibility, i would say is 50 to 100 feet. that's how thick the snow is. it is falling in every which way. you look up at a light and see the snow coming sideways and down and it is endless. it is a complete whiteout right now in this part of long island. the wind is whipping so hard. we had done the forecast that there would be hurricane force gusts and we felt some of those tonight. the wind at some points could possibly knock you over if you weren't standing too sturdy. that's how strong the wind is. the conditions getting worse by the hour. but folks not on the roads. they listened to the warning and stayed off the roads tonight. local, county and state roads. we are not seeing people driving around late at night. which is a very good sign. it means people did listen to the warnings. cavalier att

it is a very different story, however, in suffolk county on long island. blizzard warning is still in effect there. there you can see it sideways snow. and well over a foot of snow has already fallen at long island's airport. whiteout conditions were reported tragically police say a 17-year-old boy was killed while snow tubing last night. we're also watching new england, airports closed up and down the eastern seaboard, boston and new york making for a lot of different changes and plans for airlines and business travelers as well. willie? >> governor chris christie also effectively opened up the state of new jersey for business again as well. travel ban lifted there. meanwhile, five days away from the super bowl. the new england patriots have arrived in phoenix. they left early to beat the storm. gearing up for the big game. before they left their home turf yesterday their fans gave them a big sendoff. in boston here's tom brady thanking the crowd at the rally. >> it's been a long ride. we started about nine months ago here in foxborough and the win last w

we're in suffolk county. i have an anemometer in my hand to tell you how fast the wind blowing. right now we're looking at 10 miles an hour but this is expected to increase as the day goes on. we're along the long island railroad behind me and i do want to make mention that more services have been added to the railroad from new york city all the way out here to long island. it's a huge area of commuters that live andhere and work in new york city. governor cuomo has declared a state of emergen for here in suffolk county nassau county part of long island and for the entire island new york city and other surrounding counties. as we want to take a moment to look at the road conditions you can see that they're kind of getting a little more snow covered. some areas are completely white. but as we said before this is just going to get worse as the day goes on. not only with the wind and the snow but also the cold temperatures. back to you. >>> thanks a lot. a pilot was able to keep his wits about him after his plane ran out of fuel in the skies over at the pacific ocean. check out thi

joining us to discuss preparations is suffolk county director. forecasters are not mincing words.ing it epic and life threatening. historic. what are you telling folks? >> we've seen over the last couple of years some historic storms like superstorm sandy. a storm of this magnitude is just something that you fundmental can't prepare for. you throw every resource can you and every level of government. and we're coordinating with the state and governor cuomo and all of our local municipalities here. what we're really telling people is to get home as early as they can and be prepared to shelter in place. when you have a storm with this much snow accumulation the high winds and these extreme temperatures it is extremely dangerous. and we need to allow those plow operators who are facing the very difficult conditions to do their work. >> shelter in place starting when? when do you want to see people in their homes, not going out their doors? >> well we want to see people in their homes as early as they can today. if they can leave work early, we're urging them to do so. and as early as
