    Maternal concerns aside, the show is eye-opening. Although it brings to life many prison cliches, this isn’t a Hollywood version of a prison; it’s an actual prison that’s completely over-crowded.

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 how many sh*t tats you have, your racial, religious, financial and judicial connections, as well as how "true" your story is.. of course) .. so while we're "innocent until proven 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. Boy oh boy have we come a long way! Progress, it aint.… Full Review »

I believe that he does want to improve the jail, but it isn't clear as to what he generally feels about America's jails. It is sad that each U.S. inmate costs an average of 50k/yr (some estimates) yet there is no "correction." It is all based on Pavlovian ideas, which work best on animals and children. If you watch the show, try to think about the approach on these inmates--the jail model is based on "behavior modification" and has been challenged throughout history, resulting in several failed theoretical approaches which has led to this hodgepodge abomination. The episodes definitely show this. How does the sheriff feel about this system in general? Is he like the majority of officers--far right believers in punishment-based justice? Or is he interested in culturing inmate contrition? Or is he merely trying to find contraband and corruption? It is widely known that jails do not have enough funding to make any big changes, so is he trying to push for national reform?… Full Review »

    Great show! seems a little tame for a jail seeing how actual jail is much worse. A real eye opener into jail life and what goes on there.Great show! seems a little tame for a jail seeing how actual jail is much worse.
