Jailbirds

I live in Sacramento, and I thought it might be interesting to learn this ladies stories. I tried to have a open mind, but increasingly was annoyed at all the bad choices. I personally feel sad for the children these women left behind, and hope they're are being cared for.

If your looking for a mindless watch and something reality based it's not so bad. It's basically like any other "prison program" you see on Discovery or NatGeo. Some of the stories are interesting. I've only watched a couple of episodes. I don't think you can watch much more than 1 or 2 at a time. It's sad because the majority of these inmates, especially the women are in for the root cause being drugs. I'd say that most just belong in some sort of long term drug program, but then again I'm sure most have been to those places before they got to jail. Anyway, it's not terrible. Nothing groundbreaking here.

I live in Sacramento and know several people that have been in and out of this jail! Find that the stories of the people in this documentary very interesting and wanted more after the sixth episode was over. Would love a season 2 Jailbirds to be released.

I love this show but it would be nice to learn how the inmates of this series ended up. It's like we get to learn why they are there and who is waiting for them on the outside we'll see them on one episode and then never again, and we never even learn if they made it out or if we do fins out we don't get to know if they stayed out.

I put this show on for background noise while I cleaned my house. Boy howdy, it delivered on that front. I wasn't expecting to like it, so I can't say whether I really liked or not. I'm kinda meh about it. But I did read one review here that was outraged over the "lesbian wedding" and stating how "those people need psychiatric help" and how they "shouldn't be on our streets" and blah blah blah. And all I can I say to that person is, I would rather have lesbians and people trying to turn their lives around on our streets than drug dealers and judgmental people like you.
