The Thin line

Joseph Graffagnino

Joseph Graffagnino
Sergeant, Middlesex County (NJ) Department of Corrections


Hi, my name is Sergeant Joseph C. Graffagnino. I joined the Middlesex County Department of Corrections on January 27, 1997, when I was 23 years old. The one phrase I have used over the many years of working is “You can’t make this stuff up.” Just when you think you have seen it all, that next shift might surprise you. I am sharing this because I want my community to know that there are good men and women who bravely guard that thin line between humanity and the wastes of humanity. I am so honored to be remembered in this Museum.
