On February 3rd 2020 the crew was allowed to start filming in the Orleans jail under strict legal terms and conditions which were due to the fact that the shows predecessor "Jailbirds" was met with many issues and criticisms from lawyers and inmates. However these terms and conditions went unheeded by the production company and the same issue's continued to take place at the OPSO (Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office) facility. Inmates were allowed to incriminate themselves on camera with no lawyer(s) present, it was understood that rule violations caught on camera would go unpunished and worst of all, guards would not intervene with on going fights for long periods of time so that the producers could get ample footage of the fights. during a scene at the end of the series guards can be scene standing in the background of a fight not intervening and doing their best to stay out of the way of the cameras, this would be the last scene in the series as immediately after this the crew was thrown out with the OPSO jail claiming breech of contract. The crew left on March 5th 2020, just 32 days in to what had been a 90 day contract
