It’s always taken a certain alchemy of bravery and brio to even desire to become a reality TV star, but A&E Networks changed the otherwise glam reality game with some of realitydom’s most harrowingly human setups: real people sharing tough stories. Hoarders. Intervention. Goddamn Duck Dynasty.

Their latest docuseries 60 Days In treads such stomach-churning ground that, at times, you truly wonder if all seven of the average civilians who signed up to spend two months in a county jail—for (social) science and, y’know, ratings—will make it home in one piece.

The 12-episode series follows an “unprecedented” prison reform program conceived by Clark County, Indiana, Sheriff Jamey Noel, a ruddy-cheeked, stocky man who landed the sheriff’s gig only to find he inherited a county jail rotted through by corruption and extreme anarchy.


“Before I took office… the inmates were running the facility,” he tells the camera, posing for a glossy stand-up shot that gives 60 Days In an unfortunate sheen of opportunistic slime. “People were getting arrested on purpose because drugs were cheaper to get in jail,” he says, while security footage from the compound’s 300 cameras cut through scenes of violent cellblock brawls and shockingly conspicuous drug use.

Noel says he staged raids to sweep narcotics out of his jail, but the problems persisted. He suspected both inmates and guards were in cahoots moving contraband throughout an invisible network he couldn’t reach. So he came up with a LEGITIMATELY INSANE IDEA: Why not recruit normal, law-abiding citizens to go undercover in this very dangerous prison rife with drugs, violence, and lawlessness and have them operate as informants?

Why not? Oh, maybe the extraordinary liability of possible harm coming to any of Noel’s civilian moles deep undercover in the clink? 60 Days In raises the question immediately: What kind of person would sign up to take such a risk?

I watched the first episode. It was pretty damn good. The crazy part is the guards don't even know about it. Theres going to be fights, crooked guards getting busted. Basicaly all kinds of fukkery.

The one guy, the teacher. Is a huge goof man. It's gonna be a rough time for him man. Talkin but " I'm gonna make some new friends" It's gonna be like a country club" :ufdup:Inmates already think somethings up with him. He was already fukking up his back story :huhldup:.First thing he asked inmates when he got in there is if they got the nfl network :russ:

:mjlol:

Show has huge potential imo

how is this legal it can be real, like these people can get seriously fukked up
The warden and some other person all signed off on it.. It was one of the worst prisons and he wanted to see how to fix the corruption..

They all had to sign waivers.. They all had training too..

The one guy isn't following what anyone told them and folks all think he's a cop .. Matter of fact someone gets sucker punched while eating in episode 3

What are your thoughts on the teacher...

I think he's an idiot, hes about to do 60 days and the thing hes most concerned with is how big the TV is and IF they have NFL network :mjlol:
that's the biggest thing you have to worry about other then your case. Jail is boring.

Unless you're food in which case worrying won't change that.
