A Television docuseries, 60 Days In, premiered on 10 March 2016 and currently streams over more than 100 countries in the world. A kind of reality show but much more dangerous. People volunteer to be a part of an undercover operation in a real jail with real criminal inmates. Sounds intense, doesn’t it?
The volunteered inmates are given a completely different identity which is not known even to the jail officials. The show moves on, following in their footsteps as they go on with their routine in jail while simultaneously trying to find out about the illegal activities running in the jail.
The seven individuals are televised for the world to see how they live in the Clark County Jail, the location where the series is shot. They are first trained before they are sent into the criminal world, from how to speak and the way to behave to memorizing their fake personal and criminal history. This is the most unique, intense, and dangerous reality show one can ever see.
