60 Days In is a reality television series on A&E. It premiered on March 10, 2016.
Premise
The series follows seven individuals as they volunteer to go undercover, spending 60 days as inmates in the Clark County Jail (also known as the Michael Becher Adult Correctional Complex[1]), in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Their goal is to obtain evidence of questionable or illegal activities within the jail that might be missed by the guards and surveillance systems.
The existence of the undercover program is kept secret from the inmates, the guards, and most of the jail officials.[2] Prior to entering the jail, the volunteers receive instruction on how to act around other inmates; they are also briefed on the cover stories they should tell, including details of the (fake) charges on which they were arrested.
Because producers realized that it would be difficult for volunteers to remain undercover after the first season, a second season was produced before the series premiered.[3] Representatives from A&E told Business Insider that multiple corrections officers were fired due to the program.[2] According to the producers, valid releases to appear on television were obtained from inmates,[4] but they were not told the actual reason that the releases were needed.
