Lucky 8

60 Days In is a docuseries on A&E. It premiered on March 10, 2016. It is known as The Jail: 60 Days In internationally[1] and airs in over 100 other territories.[2] As a follow-up to season one, A&E aired cast interviews, The Full Story-Robert, Tami and Barbra, on July 14, 2016, and, The Full Story-Zac, Isaiah, Jeff and Maryum on July 21.[3] Season 2 premiered August 18, 2016.[4]

Premise

The series follows seven individuals as they volunteer to go undercover, spending 60 days as inmates in the Clark County Jail [5] (also known as the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex[6]), in Jeffersonville, Indiana. 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.[7] 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. Although it was repeatedly mentioned that Maryum Ali was given an alias to use because of her famous father, 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.[8]

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.[9] Representatives from A&E told Business Insider that multiple corrections officers were fired due to the program.[7] According to the producers, valid legal releases to appear on television were obtained from inmates,[10] but they were not told the actual reason that the releases were needed.

The importance of tater tots was revealed throughout the series. Inmates were frequently served tater tots on their meal trays. The potato-based food was occasionally used as currency, and was allegedly the cause of one of the fights on the show between two of the real inmates.[11] The Clark County Sheriff's Office held a community fundraiser where they sold T-shirts and tater tots based on the show.[12]

Season 2 began airing on Thursday August 18, 2016, with 60 Days In: Meet the Participants premiering on August 11.[13] Season 2 will begin airing on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 on Foxtel’s crime + investigation network in Australia.[14]

These episodes also appeared on local TV. Episodes remain available on news anchor Melissa Carlson's YouTube account.[29]

DiAundré Newby (real inmate),[30] has criticized the editing, saying that events and timelines were altered.
