On this episode of So That Reminds Me, co-hosts Dennis Hackett, Ryan Feyre, and Tyler Garnet break down the new A&E docu-series “Family Lockup,” which brings viewers inside the Hampden County Jail in Ludlow, Massachusetts. The series follows incarcerated participants and the family members who voluntarily join them behind bars for an intensive program designed to confront past harm, rebuild trust, and create a path toward recovery.

Our hosts examine the show’s impact, problem areas, approach to rehabilitation, and what it reveals about families on both sides of incarceration.
