60 Days In
60 Days In is an American reality television series on A&E in which volunteers are incarcerated as undercover prisoners for 60 days. Internationally, it is known as The Jail: 60 Days In and airs in over 100 other countries.
The show premiered on March 10, 2016, while Season 2 premiered on August 18. Seasons 1 and 2 took place in Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana, but Seasons 3 and 4 saw the show's setting moved to the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.
The fifth season, which premiered on January 3, 2019, took place in Florence, Arizona, at the Pinal County Jail. On November 19, 2019, the show was renewed for a sixth season, which takes place in the Etowah County Detention Center in Gadsden, Alabama, and premiered on January 2, 2020. On July 1, 2022, the show was announced to return for a seventh season, taking place at the Henry County Sheriff's Office in McDonough, Georgia; premiering on August 18, 2022, it was the first season to have a cast composed entirely of former inmates. The show returned for an eighth season, taking place at Pitt County Detention Center in North Carolina. It premiered on June 15, 2023, and ended on September 14, 2023. On May 30, 2024, the show returned for a ninth season, centered inside the Utah County Jail.
A spinoff titled 60 Days In: Narcoland began airing on July 30, 2019.
The television series follows seven individuals as they volunteer to go undercover, spending 60 days as prison inmates. Their goal is to obtain evidence of questionable or illegal activities within the jail that might be missed by the correctional officers and surveillance systems. The existence of the undercover program is kept secret from the inmates, the guards, and most of the jail officials. Prior to entering the jail, the volunteers receive instruction on how to act around other inmates, and they are each given a pseudonym and a cover story, including details of the fake criminal charges on which they were arrested.
The first two seasons occurred in the Clark County Jail (also known as the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex), in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Although it was repeatedly mentioned that Maryum Ali was given an alias to use because of her famous father (boxer Muhammad Ali), it was later revealed that volunteer Robert was also using an alias while imprisoned, and that he would blow his cover if he visited an emergency room and gave his real name.
Because producers realized that it would be difficult for volunteers to remain undercover after the first season aired, a second season was produced before the series premiered. Representatives from A&E told Business Insider that multiple corrections officers were fired due to the program. According to the producers, valid legal releases to appear on television were obtained from inmates, but they were not told the actual reason that the releases were needed.
The series revealed the importance of tater tots. The meal trays frequently served tater tots to the inmates. On the show, two real inmates allegedly fought over the potato-based food, which they occasionally used as currency. The Clark County Sheriff's Office held a community fundraiser where they sold T-shirts and tater tots based on the show.
