60 Days In

If you haven't done time you probably can't appreciate how accurate the portrayal of doing time in remand centers is, the absolute inhumane conditions people are subjected to is 100% accurate, the corruption and ignorance of the staff at the jails is 100% accurate.

As someone who has done time I found it thoroughly enjoyable to see participants who had a negative view of inmates and positive view of the justice system getting the rude awakening they deserve!

Even better when some of them have been the police officers who entered the show and seen what they were subjecting people they arrested to then having a total change of perspective.

The criminal justice system is a justice system run by real criminals and the cruel/unusual punishment people are subjected to because of it never reforms or rehabilitates as the system relies on crime continuing.

The show is ok. The police officer tami is soooooo annoying. She talks a big game but than starts crying all the time. Shes like a chihuahua

Starts off entertaining enough, but quickly devolves into a snooze fest. I know it is very common with American TV, but the constant reminders of what is going on and reuse of the same scenes give me a headache.

It is way too long, too many episodes.

The 'expirement' itself is quite interesting: placing volunteers into a local county jail.

The result is a candid view into why many jails are more corrosive than corrective in the USA. They even had one person unexpectedly report to court because of a clerical error (he had the same name of someone.)

I was surprised, but not shocked, at how lazy and terrible many of the 'correctional' officers were at their job. I don't think it's unique in this jail, but some of these officers simply suck at their jobs.

As for editing, they repeat many of the clips over and over again, that I had to wonder if I had already seen the episode. I counted a few clips being replayed across numerous episodes at least 10 times.

In all, an interesting perspective into the problems within the jails/justice system of the USA.

An interesting program but should have been edited when the adverts were removed for Netflix.

You get a fully explained event then it is explained all over again a second later just after where the advert should have been.

Hard to stop watching though!
