The state staffing crisis at prisons has had an impact on Nassau and Suffolk jails. In Suffolk County, there are more than 100 inmates who are eligible to be transferred to a state prison. The sheriff's office says 93 of those inmates are in county custody beyond the 10-day limit of when they are supposed to be transferred to state custody.

In Nassau, sources say there are around 100 inmates awaiting transport to state prisons. District Attorney Anne Donnelly joined Rich Barrabi to discuss the impact the staffing crisis has had on Long Island.
