60 Days in Jail

Series 2 Episode 3: Friend or Foe

Sheriff Jamey Noel wants to end crime and corruption at Clark County Jail, and he's enlisting members of the public to help. Noel's unprecedented program involves seven law-abiding citizens living among the facility's general population for 60 days without officers, fellow inmates, or staff knowing the secret. Filmed around the clock, the hourlong docuseries provides a warts-and-all view of life behind bars, as the volunteers adapt to unfamiliar and terrifying surroundings. "The only way to truly understand what was going on in the jail was to implement innocent participants into the system to provide firsthand unbiased intelligence", Noel says. The Jeffersonville, Indiana, jail houses approximately 500 prisoners, with charges ranging from drug dealing to capital murder.
