Jail

In 2022, we've been watching episodes of this show from several years ago. The guard/officer/prima donna by the name of Nicole Sittre is one sorry piece of work. She obviously enjoys being on camera, as she shows off/acts in order to be the center of attention. Worse, she picks at the inmates, females in particular, obviously trying to provoke them into making scenes for the camera. She quizzes and judges until most of the objects of her disdain are either weeping or furious. Her most telling statement about herself was when she said she PRETENDS to be interested in the inmates.

Shame on her!

(And no one, neither inmates nor staff, knows how to pronounce "recognizance," changing the 4 syllables to 3.)

Why would jail inmates talk with their jailers about their cases? Weren't their rights read to them when they were arrested? Don't they know that "anything they say can and will be used against them"? Don't any of them ask for lawyers? I've never seen a lawyer appear with an inmate on any episode of Jail. Perhaps they were told that charges would be dropped if they consented to appear on the show, talk about their cases, and let the jailers leer and guffaw at them and strap them to retaining chairs and lock them in holding cells? I'll admit the show is somewhat entertaining, but it hardly smacks of reality.

Ahhh.....Oh how I always wanted to see what goes on in the big house(well, at least from the safety of my home).Fortunately the good 'ol folks who gave us Cops now present to you Jail, a new reality show (originally on Fox Reality TV) that takes a look at the lives of the men and women working in the slammer. A treat for TV. Nothing is scripted; this is as real as it gets and its raw and dirty (though some of the content is edited from its cable brethren) and hits you in the face. Beatings, blood, innuendo, verbal confrontations are all there for you to enjoy. You may not need High Definition to enjoy all the bells and whistles, but it helps. Not much to say about the show, but stick around and you'll be pleasantly entertained.(just make sure you're not on it yourself; lest you reap the rewards of embarrassment by your mom, dad, friends, or girl).

Thank You and Enjoy!!!

Nicole is patronizing and enjoys degrading those who are already degraded. Her voice even drives me nuts. The show doesn't do law enforcement any justice. It seems they enjoy twisting arms and bending thumbs. I've never been arrested but I'd like to know why it takes ten officers to rush and man handle one individual. There's always a female in the back of them when they rush someone as if their help is required. I always had respect for the police until I watched a couple shows... very sad. Nicole seems to make everything worse and escalates by stirring the pot. I realize law enforcement deals with a lot of things but there's no excuse for belittling those who are already feeling mighty low. Anything for ratings I guess.

Jail is the same basic premise as Cops but after they've been locked up. Most of the people they show on the show is when they're drunk and belligerent and not wanting to co-operate with the officers. The show takes place in multiple different jails all across America whether it's in Las Vegas, Oregon, New Jersey or whatever city they happen to feature on that episode.

A lot of times they'll show prisoners getting in fights with each other while in their holding cells.

The show originally aired on FOX Reality but now airs in syndication on SpikeTV.
