Jailbirds

I live in Sacramento and I found it insightful and very entertaining. Wish these women could change but unfortunately one commuted a crime recently at my company and if there is a season 2 she will make an appearance.

Jailbirds appeared with no forewarning but has me desperately clinging to hope for a second season! We binged the first season over two days and we were captivated by the horrors and indeed the wonders of jail life! The show has been masterfully filmed and edited so you see everything from love, loss and betrayal to fighting, friendships... even a wedding! It's like a soap opera but then you remind yourself these are real women, not actresses... And all are criminals! You will learn simply mind-blowing things about life in jail including the amazing all-in-one waste disposal, "phone" system and cell-to-cell delivery system....! Jailbirds has been beautifully filmed for Netflix and a simply perfect soundtrack has been added to evoke plenty of emotion whilst following the female inmates! You will truly connect with the ladies as they struggle with relationships, turmoil and jail politics! I laughed, I cried, I was shocked but most of all I was thoroughly entertained and felt a real kinship with the ladies because of the skilful documentary-making here!

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 was very questionable about this show going in to it but it really makes you think. Throughout the show these convicts admit that they were wrong and admit what they did was not ethically right and they wanna be better and they show remorse what they did was wrong yes but please I implore you take a moment and put yourself in their shoes please give this show a try just please.

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.
