I like this show, it shows an interesting perspective from the inside. But the complaints they have were not shown inside or shown on the footage.

And here it is folks, the absolute lowest possible common denominator of American society. In fact, a real inside look at how Americans actually are today. Mingle a jaywalking parking ticketer with a crackhead serial killer who wont allow you to use the "day room" WC, why not?! Remember, this is JAIL, not prison (which is far better, or worse, depending on your racial, religious, financial and judicial connections, of course) .. so while we're "innocent until proved guilty" in the "land of the free", this is where you spend your time waiting for that to happen... days in the crazy retard drunk tank ward, weeks in segregation, months, possibly years, awaiting bureaucratic justice, meanwhile forced to eat tax funded pig slop and/or a bag of chips for $14.99 (all of which $ goes into private contracted citizens pockets, I might add) . So yeah, since all of these people are at a stage of judicial "innocence", why not throw in some tax funded "reality" investigative spy TV heh"?! What a "justice" system we the "brave" have for ourselves in the first world millennial year 2016. Progress, it ain't.

The show has an interesting idea and it's nothing I've seen before, but I feel like if I have. It's just like every other reality TV show. Some of the participants do extremely well, but others do so badly you wonder how on Earth they've survived this long. Each episode is about 40 minutes long and they only use what seems like 15 minutes of footage. Constantly jumping back in forth to the women's cell block to the men's, repeating everything that just happened over and over again. It's obvious A&E is just trying to stretch out as many episodes (money) as possible which ruined the show for me. Sorry they just lost a viewer.

I didn't expect to be engrossed in this "fish out of water" reality series, but I am.To start, it's not really like anything I've seen before, and if you've watched as much reality series as I have, that's saying something. It starts off with 7 people chosen to participate in an undercover operation of sorts, and the danger is real. One wonders why ordinary people (and some are exceedingly ordinary) would be chosen for an operation like this. You almost think it's not going to happen - then they're immersed into this American jail hell. I'm not going to give very much away at all, and it's really easy to. I'll just say that is is totally worth one's time, especially if you like crime or incarceration shows. There's one person that stands out, and you get the feeling that he isn't going to last long. Will he be killed? Quite possibly. And it will have been his own fault. One should really follow jail house rules... or else.
