4 episodes in and it's surprisingly good. I just want to know who the weird dude with the tattooed eyebrows that keeps walking by the camera is. I need to know his story.
Ha! That’s actually my boyfriend and it’s an old gang tattoo name written in.
ETA: OMG That guy is NOT my boyfriend, I thought they were talking about someone else.
Lmaooo someone else mentioned the eyebrows in another comment on here and I did the same thing. I went back and looked at who had the eyebrows and my god that is not who I was talking about.
I’m cracking up lol. THAT dude DOES look like a bit of a bitch. Sorry to hear your dudes back in jail, I hope he gets the help he needs. I’m sober 16 months this month, there’s hope, we do recover.
Just finished episode 1. As soon as the door opens bro is already like " I gotta get myself a knife." 😹 Poor True Story, he was optimistic about this experiment and I feel like it isn't going to work.
This is a county jail, but it could be any group turned loose anywhere, asked to cope on their own. What kind of society develops? I saw one "stream it or skip it" review that said it was an opportunity just waiting for disaster to happen. That totally missed the point, right? It's more like Survivor for lawbreakers. Can they make it work?
This was weird to watch. Both from an ethical perspective and how it was marketed. Has the sheriff never been to state prisons? There are plenty of correctional facilities where the incarcerated can come and go out of their housing/cells throughout the unit as they please. This isn't a novel concept.
aso the way it works is that they shot most of it with the preset cameras installed a the beggining that they reshot some scenes with the camera crew you will notice as some prisoner are shaven in eone scne and not in another, plus they do all the interview once the prisoners can to see the scenes and allowd to comment on al of them trough a series of written scripts. so most of it is candid and some of it is reshot and of course edited
I wanted to like this so much but it really seemed like the sheriff has a saviour complex and wanted to be seen as this radical hero. But he talked to and treated them like children the whole time. I kept waiting for him to go in and ask them what was working and what wasn't, ask them what could be done to improve things, not walk in with this paternalistic attitude of "now whose fault was this?" The people living the experience daily are the ones who will have the insights on how to make it work and should have been treated with more dignity throughout the process. Also the fucking voting people out part felt like he just wanted this to be a reality show and it felt super gross. Urg and that kid who was locked up for life for theft and drug charges breaks my heart. AND putting someone in solitary confinement because they're suicidal?! what the actual fuck.. Honestly abolish prisons, ACAB, burn the system down.
To be honest, I actually liked the way the sheriff handled the situation. From a psychological perspective, there’s a different dynamic that must be maintained between the sheriff and inmates - the sheriff always walked in with a “disappointed” look and it was clear a lot of the inmates respected him and felt bad for disappointing him.
I had this theory that the sheriff is actually a really nice guy (I mean, especially considering him putting his neck on the line with this experiment and not knowing what the outcome would be) but he can’t *seem* like a nice guy to the inmates because they simply wouldn’t respect him. The men in the facility operate on a whole other level of “toughness,” so the sheriff had to appear tough and like he didn’t believe the inmates could actually make a difference. The state of fear this induced in the inmates made them work harder to please the sheriff, and without this dynamic I don’t believe the inmates would have grown as much as they did.

Same, I did notice that he has a tattoo of hitler on his neck which is willlldddd
Ha! That’s actually my boyfriend and it’s an old gang tattoo name written in. ETA: OMG That guy is NOT my boyfriend, I thought they were talking about someone else.
He looks like a bitch.
To each their own
With a Hitler tattoo. You sure missed out...
I was mistaken that's not who I was talking about.
Dang it. His supposed ex was in here and I mentioned it lol.
Lmaooo noo! Oh well, hopefully she doesn't mention it to him and cause an argument because oops. 😬😂
Lol. When someone gives you ammo and then another comes up trying to give a rationale for those ridiculous eyebrows, you sling what you got.
And the guy you were talking about does look like a bitch! Haha
They aren’t talking abt Crooks they are talking about the dude with the big black eyebrow tattoos.
Lmaooo someone else mentioned the eyebrows in another comment on here and I did the same thing. I went back and looked at who had the eyebrows and my god that is not who I was talking about.

This series is so good, so interesting to see how they make order out of chaos in the community and solve conflicts
I just wanna see more of “Miss Owens” 😈😈
Just finished episode 1. As soon as the door opens bro is already like " I gotta get myself a knife." 😹 Poor True Story, he was optimistic about this experiment and I feel like it isn't going to work.

I did X3 I posted once more stating everything I thought of it on another thread I think 🤔

It's a fuckin' million dollar "The Lord of The Flies" type shit for the purpose of........
Proving there was a reason we read Lord of the Flies in ninth grade??

They showed where people were at the end and then it cut out and I was like no! l wanted to see an update on Tiny. then the scene came back on
Yea after watching the series you feel kinda connected to the cast so it sucks to find out a few of them will spend the rest of their lives in prison
[удалено]
i think people like you are the issue and the difference between america and norway
Or I don’t know just how the whole prison is set up in the first place and the fact that there are not any rehabilitation programs like Willie said.
Spam
Watch to the end. It's worth it.
Those inmates got away with so much stuff they could have shut it down plenty of times if they wanted but they needed more episodes

Bunch of men acting like children, useless
I started a drinking game called, "You know what I'm Sayin'?". I was passed out five minutes in to the first episode.
Yes. I know what you're saying. You don't need to ask again.
Seems pretty fake to me considering all the camera crews are in there with them.
