This is a show on A&E.......7 regular citizens are sent into a county jail in Indiana for 60 days....the reported purpose is to help the new Sheriff see what the inmates and his staff are up to........
The 7 normal citizens received training on what to do, and how to behave and they all received cover stories...and only 3 people at the prison know they are civilians pretending to be first time criminals....
It is interesting......but.....you can tell that the need for an entertaining show was the reason for this, and not any real desire to investigate the prison....how do you know this? Because if a real investigation had been the intent, the sheriff could have recruited real, undercover police officers, men and women who actually go undercover and infiltrate active criminal groups, to go in and do this....instead of the school teacher, the military mom, and Mohamed Ali's lesser known daughter......
And also, the school teacher was obviously a nut job and should not have been anywhere near this program......
Anyone else see this show?
