"60 Days In" offers an unprecedented look at life behind bars at Indiana's Clark County Jail as seven innocent volunteers are sent to live among its general population for 60 days without officers, fellow inmates, or staff knowing their secret.
With two participants already inside the jail and three more entering, phase two will shatter expectations, open old wounds, and put everyone's safety in jeopardy.
As the Phase Two participants settle into the Fulton County Jail and new ones enter, inmate feuds and power-plays bring participants face to face with real danger and real charges.
The participants toe the line between blowing their cover or going full inmate, all the while trying to stay focused on their purpose in the midst of wild parties and difficult cellmates.
While Stephanie chooses to use drugs to bond with her fellow inmates, Jaclin finds acceptance by creating her own jail clothing line, bringing pink flare and positivity to the inmates of I-Pod, but causing heated confrontations with the officers.
The participants are faced with challenges when a gas scare happens in the women's pod, a football kitty goes missing in 500 prompting a gang fight, and a new inmate in 600 tests Matt.
When Jaclin tries to help Stephanie switch rooms, it puts a target on Jaclin's back, Emmanuel also becomes a target when he tries to break up a fight, and a rumor about Andrew being gay could put him in harm's way.
Two participants struggle with the decision to leave the program early, while the rest try to keep their wits as they finish the back half of their time in the Fulton County Jail.
Matt wrestles with the most devastating moment of his life, Alan gets a mysterious new cellmate, and the inmates throw an unforgettable birthday party.
