Statesville Prison is a fictional prison, from the 1982 television series Police Squad! This fictional prison is presumably based on the real Stateville Correctional Centre in Illionois.
During each episode's epilogue sequence, either Lieutenant Frank Drebin or Captain Ed Hocken would state that the guilty character(s) brought to justice are being sent to Stateville Prison to serve their time.
