Question on that 60 day prison series

[longbow]

Watching that show gives me a headache. I thought there were prison privacy standards and the secret cameras in the cell can't be . It can't be real......

some CO friends say BS, but the site looks lik some other jails I have toured......

It's real, wife's nephew is/was in there during filming.

No tv shows are real, however I do like the 60 days.

Oh it's real....

What I like is how it shows my county and our residents in such a positive light.....

I have no clue how real or unreal the series is, but I did find it odd that on the exit interviews the sheriff and warden seemed offended by the criticism that was given by the participants. If you did the show to find out what is wrong, why are you offended by the answers you get. Did they expect all the participants to tell them how great the prison is and what an excellent job they are doing? Real or not, I found the show interesting.

It's Clark county, nobody in charge here has to be reasonable or stick to the guidelines they themselves lined out. They should do a reality show about Clark county politics, then everybody could see the real lowlifes.

I've watched it. Seems interesting. It looks real to me.

I do know a few of the real inmates that have been seen on the show, and at least 3 of the COs, so I have no doubt the show is actually pretty much what it claims to be, but I've heard that the goofball that faked an illness and the skinny chick that was released first, were actors.

What channel is it on? I think I saw an episode, but have not seen it since.

 

[Bennettjh]

A&E I believe.

Anybody want to burn a crack stick lol....Love the show

 

[TB1999]

I'm watching now...and just so I'm clear, people honestly think the show is real?

I guess we have a different definition of "real".

Read a news article today saying that a handful of CO's have been fired or quit due to the show exposing excessive force or unethical treatment of prisoners.

I saw where 5 correctional officers were fired and 4 more resigned. I'd say the show was real.
