(tense music) (cuffs clinking)
- [Narrator] For nine seasons,
this cultural phenomenon...
- [Narrator] Has been captivating audiences.
- There are demons in this place.
(inmate laughing)
- If it's a shank in there, I can get the shank.
- [Narrator] As innocent people give up their freedom.
- The guard abandoned me naked in my room.
That was the most humiliating moment of my life.
- [Narrator] To go undercover for 60 days.
- [Steven] I feel like I got a target on my back.
- [Narrator] In some of America's most terrifying jails.
(dramatic music)
- There's weapons, there's drugs.
It's just not safe.
- You a rat!
- I do want to fight.
(inmates yelling)
- [Narrator] Everyday people from across the nation
have joined the mission,
but who will claim the top spot?
(dramatic music)
- I'm ready for my jail era.
- [Inmate] What the (bleep)?
- [Narrator] We asked.
You answered.
- What the hell, dude?
Like this is crazy.
- [Narrator] So get ready.
- [Narrator] 'Cause we're counting down
the most memorable participants.
(laughs maniacally)
- [Narrator] To ever get cuffed.
- Yeah.
- [Narrator] And locked up.
(inmates yelling)
- [Narrator] This is the top 50 of "60."
(dramatic music)
Kicking off the countdown at number 50 is Jeff.
- My name is Jeff. I'm 33-years-old.
And I'm a security officer in Iowa.
- [Narrator] Jeff made "60 Days In" history
after his run in with an inmate.
- Ricky, he just stares at people
and he'll kinda look at you at the corner of his eye
and he's done that to me a few times.
- You switch faces with Jesus and Judas Iscariot
allowed control of the power of the evil gens
waging war with me.
- He scares me a little bit to be honest with you.
- Ricky walked into one of the cells
and starts talking about how he's hearing voices from the TV
that are telling him that this guy Jeff is a child molester.
- I was talking to my new bunkmate
and outta nowhere...
- [Inmate] Ricky! - What the (bleep)?
- I didn't do nothing. - [Inmate] I swear to God.
- I didn't do nothing.
- Shut up and sit over there, then.
- All I was doing was talking to him, dude.
- Shut up! - What the (bleep)?
This guy just punches me in the face twice,
knocks off my glasses.
What the (bleep)?
The guy that hit me needs help
and this is not the place for this guy.
If this guy's gonna cheap shot me when I'm not looking,
who knows what he could do to me in my sleep?
I don't feel safe in there anymore.
Um, I want out tonight.
(suspenseful music)
- My name is Matt. I'm 40-years-old.
I do HVAC,
which is air conditioning and heating, for a living.
- [Narrator] When Matt entered the program,
his goal was to uncover drugs.
As it turns out,
that task was far simpler than he anticipated.
- Bernard has a joint.
He tells me that he's got it and I'm like great.
The only guy with the drugs gets put in my cell.
It's like my worst nightmare in this place.
Am I gonna smoke it?
Am I gonna go against my word
that I wasn't gonna do anything
to jeopardize my leaving at the right time?
Once I jumped out of my rack, I knew I was gonna do it.
I'm gonna make sure that we don't get caught.
I knew we had to block up the doorway,
I knew we had to pump the toilet.
- I know it's like, damn, he smoking in the toilet.
But that's the only way we would get through
without getting caught.
- Picture two adults with their faces in the toilet
and I'm continuously flushing the toilet.
(toilet flushing)
I know the place has to smell.
Using what we used for air freshener, the soap sock.
We tried to air it out as much as possible.
We blocked up under the door.
We did everything we possibly could.
(tense music)
A lot of times the security rounds,
they'll just go upstairs
and go down the other stairs and walk right out.
Sure enough, they went to every single door
and the flashlight goes by like normal
and then it comes back and I'm like, (bleep)!
- They like... (sniffing)
"I think I smell something but I don't know."
(suspenseful music)
- At that point we were like, phew.
(kids chattering)
- Alright, you in first, I'll take your backpack.
My name is Barbra.
I'm 25-years-old and I'm a stay-at-home mom.
I love you.
- [Narrator] At the Clark County jail,
Barbra wasn't the quiet reserved inmate everyone expected.
- I'm afraid of getting my butt kicked in jail
and they could probably snap me like a toothpick.
- [Narrator] When things started getting on her nerves,
she stepped up.
- [Narrator] Took charge and whipped that pod into shape.
- I do whatever but I'm gonna tell 'em--
- We all all need to get along here.
(inmates chattering)
I'm tired of this.
Everyone's fighting all the time.
I'm damn sick and tired of it.
Pipe down, pipe down, okay?
- 'Cause we all need to get along here.
- I'm trying. - So pipe down then.
What are we gonna do to solve this, ladies?
Because I'm exhausted.
Anyone have any complaints?
- In the last two days, we've had more people
run in and outta our room than the last two months.
I didn't realize that I was being so loud
and I really didn't.
- We're not saying you can't come back in the room,
but don't bring three people with you.
That's all we're asking.
- I will do that.
- When I first walked in here,
I did not think I would be the one
calling everyone to attention and saying, "Hey, shape up."
What I've learned is that I'm a very strong person,
so don't test me.
You know, I'm not gonna take crap anymore
and I'm streetwise now.
- My name's Steven.
I'm from Southern California.
And I'm 38-years-old.
I am a bodyguard
and former correction officer for state prison.
- [Narrator] Being a former CO,
Steven should have known better
when he let it all hang out his first night in gen pop.
(suspenseful music)
- I am mentally like exhausted.
All I could think about, man,
is just really like take a shower, man, and just lay down.
- I'm in the shower.
I hear all these dudes yelling like, man,
like what's the problem?
- Somebody yelled at me, "Get behind the wall."
So I guess that's one of the rules in here.
They act like they ain't never seen a naked guy before.
(inmates chattering)
- Took five minutes in the pod
for everybody to start looking at me.
(inmates chattering, laughing)
- The last thing I need right now is to get shanked up
or killed in the shower.
- [Steven] Now, I feel like I got a target on my back.
- In 2018, I served a two and a half year sentence
in federal prison for tax fraud.
It was hell, but I need to go back in
to prove to at least one person
that even though you're in jail,
you can come out a success.
- [Narrator] All was fine for Rose's "60 Days In"
until inmate Breanna started pushing her buttons.
That's when Rose unleashed a whole new level of tough.
- [Rose] I don't like Breanna.
- Why you tripping? - I'm not tripping!
- You the only one in here tripping.
- Breanna sits at the table and the whole conversation,
she just kept picking and picking and picking
and it's just not sitting well with me.
(inmate meows)
- And when she said that is when I got very angry.
I don't give a (bleep) about none of that.
- Good for you. - I'ma tell you.
(indistinct arguing)
- That's a (bleep) sheep in wolf's clothes.
So before I do any damage, I'm going upstairs.
- I felt myself shaking and that was my adrenaline.
- I'm hot, and I'm shaking,
and my adrenaline just wants me to run downstairs
and choke the hell out of her.
Don't you say a (bleep) thing to me
because the way I feel right now, I will hurt you!
But I can't because it's my cover
and if I get more time, then what am I here for?
Bitch, I came to (bleep) play.
Kiss my ass.
- My name's Daniel.
I'm a recovery advocate.
I've been sober almost seven and a half years
- [Narrator] For weeks, Daniel thought he was blending in
at the Utah County Jail
until a guard's online search exposed his secret
and put him in the spotlight.
(suspenseful music)
(intense music)
- I've got a massive concern.
My deputy, he was able to identify who you are.
I'm worried about you and your safety right now.
- I wanted to finish but it's been a lot, so.
- Let's get you out before something happens.
- Yeah.
- Uh...
- Overwhelmed, like this isn't real. (laughing)
I gotta pinch myself.
It's just surreal that it's over. (laughs)
Like you know, you dream of this moment
from the moment you come in
and you realize how real this really is.
I don't wanna be dramatic, but this is dramatic.
It's a lot more to go through than I anticipated.
- [Narrator] Our countdown continues
with fan favorite, Robert.
- My name is Robert.
I'm 45 years young.
I live in Pennsylvania and I'm a school teacher.
- [Narrator] Robert, who started off confident...
- I think it's gonna be like a country club environment.
- [Narrator] But reality set in when the other inmates
poked holes in his cover story.
- I could tell they're getting really suspicious of me.
- With the inmates not buying Robert's story,
it's very dangerous.
Now, he's got the whole pod looking at him.
- I want to get across that,
"Hey, I'm an inmate like you guys.
I'm not a police officer."
And putting the towel over the camera I thought would help.
- Hey, up.
Get up!
The last person I thought that would tamper
with the camera is one of our participants.
It's a huge deal to tamper with a camera inside of a jail.
You know, all these inmates have been told,
do not touch these cameras.
There's huge repercussions for it.
- I felt threatened and I was thinking, what should I do?
And then I was like, all right,
just so it looks like I'm not a cop,
I started putting that towel over the camera.
- The rule you broke of placing something on a camera
or tampering with our cameras is a very serious rule.
- Ah.
- And you have received 30 days in segregation now.
(dramatic music)
- It's amazing. Love it here. (maniacally laughing)
I feel fantastic.
- He's not taking this program seriously.
- Why do ghosts and Hollywood look so young?
Because they all have boo-tox.
(laughs) Boo.
- I'm Monalisa and I am about to go to jail.
- How you feeling?
- I don't have any words right now.
I just, whoa.
Quite frankly, I'm scared as (bleep).
- [Narrator] She may have been scared,
but none of this compared to the way Monalisa's world
was turned upside down
when her daughter was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
So she took on the challenge of "60 Days In"
to better understand what her child was experiencing.
- Most of these people hear are drug addicts
and that's exactly what I saw my daughter go through.
I really want to understand
because I wanna understand my daughter better.
I was having the strangest dream
that my daughter and I had gone to prison together
and all of a sudden they called my name
and they said, "You're bonding out, get your stuff."
And she was just like a little kid going,
"Please mama, don't leave me here alone.
Don't leave me, don't leave me."
And she just kept saying it over and over and over again
and I was screaming back at her,
"I'm not gonna leave you here, I'm not gonna leave you here."
(tense music)
(sobbing) She was saying, "Don't leave me, mama."
I can feel her pain, how she feels when she's alone.
- [Narrator] One of season seven's participants
is a bonafide internet celebrity.
- My name is Chucky, I'm going in as Chase.
I'm an influencer and my social media platform
took me places I never expected it to take me.
- [Narrator] But that renown blew his cover
just seconds after entering the jail.
- [Officer] Where you going?
- [Chucky] 417.
(inmates chattering)
- [Chucky] When I first walked in,
the individual was standing by the stairs
looking like he knows me.
- The moment he walked in,
it was a dead giveaway.
I already knew he was a part of the program
and the moment I said his TikTok name, Lucky Chucky,
his facial reaction was like, "Oh, (bleep)."
You can see the (bleep) coming out his pants.
- As soon as I got there, he says, "Lucky Chucky."
- Right away I was like, my cover's blown.
That's it.
I didn't know how to handle it.
I didn't know if he was gonna tell everybody
about me being on social media
and it's coincidental that those cameras are there
and then probably everybody went out in the pod
would've been like, "Oh yeah, there's this Lucky Chucky."
It probably didn't look too good.
- My name is Brittany.
I am from Madison, Tennessee and I'm 32-years-old.
I am a psychotherapist and a school therapist.
- [Narrator] Brittany was one participant
who brought her expertise behind bars.
In the Pitt County jail,
she spotted a fellow inmate
struggling with mental health issues
that the guards were either unwilling or unable to address.
(inmate yelling)
Kayla is an inmate who seems fairly young,
would kick, and bang,
and scream, and yell.
- I have never seen Kayla take a shower.
I've never seen Kayla make a phone call.
I have never seen Kayla outside of her cell.
(tense music)
It's nighttime, so we're on lockdown
and all of a sudden, outta nowhere we hear this loud bang,
loudest than ever.
We're like, "Somebody got hurt."
I know my history of working with clients
who have hurt themselves,
there has to be staff there watching them
or maybe like a padded room.
- I absolutely do wanna talk to the sheriff
about the treatment,
you know, lack of concern for mental health
because some people are in their cells suffering.
- My name is David.
I am 34-years-old and I'm a police officer.
I am not a traditional police officer.
You know, I grew up in the streets
and that exposed me to a lot.
- [Narrator] In season five, David started hurling threats.
- [David] (bleep), man!
- [Narrator] After another inmate made the rookie mistake
of touching something that didn't belong to him.
In the pod, I am second in command
and now my job is to like make sure everybody
is following the rules.
- [Narrator] We're counting down
the most memorable participants in "60 Days In" history,
and here's number 39.
- My name is Brian, I'm an attorney
for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
My job is to go after the corrections officers
in my department who commit job-related misconduct.
- [Narrator] From the moment Brian
first stepped into the pod,
other inmates saw him as an easy target
that led to a more relentless
and brutal hazing than anyone could have expected.
I don't know exactly what's happening
but this is really serious.
(inmates laughing)
- [David] I'm trying not to do anything
to encourage the behavior.
My biggest concern is that
it's going to escalate into violence.
- Sometimes you got to show an act of force
to get some respect.
If they think you're soft, they'll walk all over you.
- This guy, we've got an attempted murder,
million dollar bond, he's calling me a bitch.
The danger is no longer hypothetical.
There's gonna be a fight sooner or later.
I want to avoid a physical confrontation.
I can't do anything that would compromise
my ability to take care of my kids.
- Is there a Brian Miller in here?
Pack your stuff, come with me.
- I'm Nina. 37, from Dallas, Texas.
I've been a bail bondsman since my very early twenties
while I was in college, so it's gonna be very different
being the one getting handcuffed.
- [Narrator] A season nine standout,
Nina made a grand entrance when entering jail.
- I'm ready for my jail era.
- [Narrator] And found a unique way to remember her time
on the inside.
- Okay.
I'm for sure coming out with a tattoo
because I love a good souvenir.
First of all, I need something sharp
so I'm on the hunt for a staple.
Anything that's like a brochure is usually stapled.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh yeah, you are not supposed to have staples in there.
I mean, look, at this point, I've officially gone rogue.
All bets are off. Why not?
- You create like a ink paste with pencil lead and water
and then you drag it across your skin
deeper and deeper and deeper.
Ow, ow. Okay, I'm doing it.
- I think it's like, buy one get one free
like you get the jail tattoo
and it comes with tetanus for free.
Okay, okay.
Ooh, I think we're done!
- Yeah!
Has anybody ever got a tattoo before?
- Whoa. (laughs)
Do you want me to give you a sleeve? (laughing)
- [Narrator] Season four's Johnny
doesn't tolerate disrespect toward female guards.
- My name is Johnny.
It was hard to get away from the gang lifestyle
but more and more I knew that I had to
and I changed my life.
- [Narrator] And the former gang member
is quick to handle anyone who steps out of line.
- Allen doesn't have respect for women.
He was disrespecting the officer.
It was outta my character just to let him be.
- It just brought me back to
when my dad used to abuse my mom.
- [Johnny] Allen triggered me a lot.
My mom always told us to respect women.
- [Johnny] And I just got fed up with it.
I wanted him to swing on me.
I wanted to give him an ass whooping.
This is it, this is where I want to go in the room with him
and we're going to go at it.
- (bleep) that bitch! - Respect the woman!
- [Narrator] Coming in at number 36, we have Calvin.
- My name is Calvin. I'm 26-years-old.
I've got my degree in social work
and I'm currently working as a special education teacher.
(inmates chattering)
- I think I'm doing a good job keeping my cover.
I think I'm really doing an excellent job.
- [Narrator] Calvin might think he's got his cover intact,
but a couple of inmates talking through a vent
seem to have other ideas.
- I really think I am fitting in the pod.
It's just a big culture shock really, just going in here.
but I'm adjusting well though, I think.
- I feel like I did everything perfect.
You know, I put the dreadlocks in my head.
- I'm blending in well.
I think my story is good.
- I am 48-years-old from Kentucky.
I've been to prison twice
and I've been to quite a few jails.
- [Narrator] During Lynn's first two weeks
at the Henry County Jail,
all inmates were locked in quarantine for 23 hours a day.
(inmates arguing indistinctly)
- [Narrator] During that time, tensions ran high,
pushing Lynn to the brink of a breakdown.
- [Inmate] Woo! Woo!
- They scream, and holler,
and it's a constantly like as soon as I get to sleep, bam.
(banging)
- [Inmate] Shut the (bleep) up for once!
Bitch, you need to hurry up and leave, bitch!
(inmates arguing)
- I'd rather go to prison for four years
than sit in there for 14 days.
(inmate yelling)
of "60 Days In" continues with number 34.
- My name is Scarlett.
My side hustle is modeling and sexy poses
and some type of lingerie, and it's fun. (laughs)
But just because I look good in a bikini
doesn't mean that I don't have any value besides that.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
- [Narrator] Scarlett took blending in as an inmate
to a whole new level.
- [Narrator] Especially when it came
to an older inmate named Vicki.
- I see her like a chihuahua barking at your ankles
that you just wanna kick.
Like don't come at me, like that's a mistake.
- She needs to shut her mouth.
Because if she comes at me...
- I'm not stopping until she's on the ground.
- Chill, dog.
Think she got like, seven grandkids.
Like leave them people granny alone.
- (bleep) you, I hope you die, you fat, ugly bitch.
- [Vickie] Fat, ugly bitch. Fat, ugly bitch.
- That's so awful. Beyond awful.
- I know it sounds like (bleep),
but I'm also supposed to be an inmate.
- My name's Matt.
Fresh outta high school, I joined the Marine Corps.
I love the show, I watch the show every season.
If history has shown us anything,
being a Marine will play to my advantage.
- [Narrator] This diehard fan of "60 Days In"
always dreamed of being on the show,
but when that dream finally came true,
it quickly turned into a nightmare.
- [Matt] You watch the show and it looks
completely different than when you're in here.
- I didn't expect the anxiety and tension to be this high.
A hundred plus guys are never really on lockdown
'cause you can't lock people down if the doors don't lock.
When I took office, it had been over three years
since the jail had been searched.
- [Officer] Shut the door.
- And 212 broken door locks within the jail.
- And you got one guard,
you can't punish them 'cause you're alone.
- They just got the supplies in,
had a big bag of razors sitting up on the thing
and when the white guard walked away from his desk,
the guy came up, took like a handful of razors,
brought 'em back to his room.
What you need a handful of razors for?
It is not safe whatsoever.
You're constantly doing this when people walk behind you.
You know what I mean?
And I get that it's jail and that's common.
But I don't feel safe at this point.
(inmate yells)
If somebody wanted to hurt somebody in a cell,
all they would have to do is open the door.
I have such a bad feeling of regret right now.
- [Producer] Hey, Chief. Matt, he's given the signal.
He might just be being dramatic
but we don't know so we have to take it seriously.
- [Producer] Have a seat.
What's going on?
- I don't think it's safe.
This is the dumbest decision I've ever made.
- I'm gonna regret it, but yeah.
And I'm sorry, I really am. - [Producer] It's okay.
(tense music)
- (bleep), man.
- My name is Ryan, I'm 27-years-old,
and I'm from Kentucky.
I joined the US Army,
specifically the Army Reserves at 19,
got good training, learned a lot about being a medic.
- [Narrator] Ryan never imagined his medical skills
would be put to the test in the Clark County jail.
But when a fight broke out in his cell,
he used his training to come to the rescue
of an injured inmate.
- I'm a medic in the Army
but I've never seen a broken hand that bad in my life.
I saw the knuckle was literally missing and it was here,
and I tell him, you need to go to a hospital
but if you don't want to,
and you don't wanna go to the guards
and you don't want anything to be known,
I can do what I can do.
- [Inmate] So I give you seven.
(Garza groans)
- We start trying to reset his hand and it was pretty grimy.
- I believe Garza does respect me,
at least trust me a little more
now that I've been able to help him.
- My name is Brooke, I'm 35 and I'm in real estate.
I would describe myself as a very conservative person,
Republican, gun-owning, meat-eating,
you know, all American.
- [Narrator] Brooke was on the hunt for drugs
when she entered Pinal County Jail.
What she discovered was far more unexpected.
- Tricia is the one who does the tattoos.
She has tattoo equipment in cell.
She has a screw about this big
and she screwed it into the bottom of her shoe
because the guards don't check the shoes.
If you got a screw that big into somebody's neck,
it will kill you.
- [Narrator] Fearing for her safety
and the safety of the other inmates,
Brooke tipped off the guards to conduct a raid of the cells.
- I actually put in the kite
about Trisha's shank that she had.
That was something that needed to be removed from the pod.
(intense music)
But the guards called Trisha down
and gave her more than enough time to hide it.
- They never found it.
I was like, how can you miss this?
- My name is Jennifer.
I am a God-fearing woman.
Being a Christian woman,
I'm expecting to go in and change lives.
- [Narrator] Jennifer's mission to save lives
took her to the heart of Alabama's toughest jail,
where she arrived armed and ready to confront evil.
But what she didn't expect
was to face off against the devil himself.
- There are demons in this place.
There are demons in Etowah County.
In my dream, I mean I didn't see anything
but this is feeling the penetration of something,
you know, in your sleep.
There is absolutely major spiritual warfare going on.
By abiding you and you abiding me, Father,
that I can ask anything and it shall be done.
The only way to eradicate evil is to pray.
Speaking in tongues is a gift of the spirit.
It's a heavenly language,
enables me to battle things that I cannot see.
(Jennifer speaking in tongues)
I feel like I have the ability
to help change these girls' lives
in this facility by praying for them
and I 100% feel like that's why I'm here.
Thank you, Father.
halfway through our countdown
of the top 50 participants of "60 Days In."
Now it's time for number 29.
- My name is Michelle.
I'm 43-years-old and I wanna go back to school
and finish my degree in criminal justice.
That's where my passion is.
- [Narrator] In season three,
Michelle discovered that maintaining your cover
on the inside is tough
and the pressure might push you
to do things you never imagined.
- I don't feel like myself at all.
I just really feel like a criminal.
Like I feel like I'm here
and I'm really waiting for a court date.
- Every night, they're getting somebody's prescriptions
and you know, Sydney crushes them up and snorts 'em.
- The scariest thing that could possibly happen in here
is your cover being blown
or somebody finding out that you're not who you say you are.
I'm not gonna be like, "No, no, no," every single time
because then they might be like, "Everybody else is doing it.
Why aren't you doing it?"
- Right?
(inmates chattering)
- This is not who I am. I'm not really this person.
- And it's okay because it makes them look at me
like you're really, really, you're an inmate.
(inmates laughing)
- I'm scared of who I've become because I'm not this person.
- My name is Jamil.
I'm from Pembroke, North Carolina.
I'm 30-years-old.
I have no criminal record
but I do have loved ones incarcerated.
- [Narrator] "60 Days In" participants often face scrutiny
when entering jail.
But Jamil was grilled by one inmate
harder than anyone else in the show's history.
- Drip, this guy being suspicious
of me is the last thing I need right now.
- I already knew from the jump that he was going be an issue,
that he was gonna be the problem.
- I'm not trying to come in here and fight everybody.
That's not my mission.
But I know what I signed up for.
Like I want to be in the belly of the beast,
like I wanna go back and forth with him.
You know, if we gonna fight, let's fight.
You gonna do it, go ahead, (bleep).
I don't care what happens next.
I will defend myself at all costs.
- My name is Maryum Ali. I'm 47-years-old.
I am the eldest daughter of Muhammad Ali.
I think a lot of what I do in my field
has been influenced by him.
I'm a social worker who has done gang prevention
and youth development for about 15 years.
- [Narrator] Maryum was unprepared for the shocking
and unsanitary realities of life at the Clark County Jail.
- The new girl in the pod,
she's scratching her body all over the place.
She has a huge rash everywhere, side, back, legs.
One girl said it sounded like scabies
but since there wasn't a nurse on call during the weekend,
they didn't take her out.
So there is a chance
that we could be vulnerable to getting this.
It's so severe, I thought they would at least take her out
and put her in isolation, you know, until they knew.
But they didn't even do that.
(inmates chattering)
We're in close proximity with each other,
using the same telephones and remote controls
and microwave ovens.
I am nervous, you know, but I'm doing the best I can do.
- [Officer] First name? - Ashleigh.
- [Officer] How old are you? - 27.
I'm volunteering to go to jail
because I am a recovered addict.
If I can impact one person with my story,
that's everything to me.
I'm feeling very nervous, very emotional.
I just said goodbye to my husband and my son.
- [Narrator] When she entered the jail in season two,
young mom Ashleigh turned heads
and attracted some unwelcome attention.
- [Ashleigh] This is my first night in jail.
I don't wanna do the wrong thing.
Lemme just kind of roll with this.
- So I showed 'em my butt.
- [Ashleigh] I wonder if it's all talk
but then I feel uncomfortable.
- There's just a lot of sexual stuff going on.
It was really bad.
- I'm Dion. I'm 24-years-old from Detroit, Michigan.
And I'm about to go to jail.
- [Narrator] When a sewer line burst
and raw sewage started flooding the jail,
criminal justice student, Dion,
was pushed to his breaking point.
- I'm about to pass out.
- You can't even flush this.
- It's coming out our toilets and our showers, ma'am.
- They keep disrespecting us.
I'm starting to get to that breaking point to where like,
I do want to fight.
Been up here for two days.
We haven't been able to shower for almost three days.
It felt worse than a refugee camp because a refugee camp,
they actually give you a bottle of water and stuff
and they refuse to give us water.
- [Inmate] Look at him, drinking that nice water,
nice cold water.
- These people, they make you want to hit 'em.
I'm smacking his ass. I swear to God, bro.
- It's not the jail, it's the Indiana Water Company, okay?
We don't have anything to do with that.
We can't make 'em hurry.
We can't make 'em rush.
There's nothing I can do.
- They get mad at us and stuff when we complain.
It's unsanitary.
But you know what?
Don't nobody give a (bleep) because we criminals.
Sick of this (bleep), man.
(sighs) Sorry.
It's like you already in a terrible situation
and they do nothing about it.
Man, (bleep), I gotta just suffer through this.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Man, (bleep), I gotta just people on our countdowntwo
were wrapped up in a single jaw-dropping story
that left fans shocked.
- My name is Jaclin and I'm 27-years-old
and I work for a criminal defense law firm.
- My name is Stephanie.
I'm 25-years-old and I'm a pharmacy technician.
- Stephanie and Jaclin had a roller coaster
of a relationship in season four, starting as allies
and ending with betrayal.
- My main thing when I first went into the jail
was I wanted to get really close with the people in my cell,
but I don't feel like that anymore.
Everybody in our cell fights.
(inmates arguing)
I don't feel safe.
Mostly pertaining to Swole.
I just wanna change rooms.
- I felt bad for her because nobody's coming to help her.
You know, we need to stick together.
- Hey!
Okay, right now you can't move yourself.
So get your stuff and put it back where you was at.
- That's why you have officers.
She didn't tell any officer that she's getting bullied.
- When Jackie stood up to Swole, the focus kind of came off of me
and it went straight towards Jackie,
and Swole is not something to be reckoned with.
- She gave me these crazy eyes like she had nothing to lose.
I did stand up for Stephanie and it put a target on my back.
- I do feel very threatened right now.
- In jail, when you put yourself in something
that has nothing to do with you,
you've made a target for yourself.
I need to separate myself from Jackie immediately.
Whether it's me or Jackie, someone is going to get hurt.
So if I have to throw somebody under the bus,
that's what I'm going to do.
- Swole was screaming in the vent
about beating up that cracker, referring to me.
- Had it not been for Stephanie, I'd probably be just fine.
This could potentially be extremely dangerous
and if nobody's gonna step in before it does escalate,
I'm gonna have to do what I have to do.
My time here has come to an end.
- I'm ready to go home.
Stephanie used me to gain respect
and it was wrong.
I think she left 'cause she couldn't handle it.
- My name is Jacob.
I'm a corrections officer for the state of Pennsylvania.
To have to congregate with other inmates,
it's going to be difficult for me.
- [Narrator] While "60 Days In"
has had its share of early exits,
corrections Officer Jacob set a record
by tapping out during intake.
- I think this is going to be a lot harder than I thought.
- If you want to tap out,
take your right hand and put it upon your chest.
- I can't become an inmate.
I can't do that.
I'm sorry.
- Denial about being able to do this for 60 days.
- Hi, honey.
- [Jacob] I failed.
- Honey, I'm done. I already left.
- I love you.
- My name is Sara. I'm from Minnesota.
I'm 33-years-old and I'm an entrepreneur.
- [Narrator] Season eight participant, Sara,
took a supportive approach in her time behind bars.
This recovering meth addict bonded with her pod mates
and helped others battling addiction.
- Oh, Sara's a beautiful person. I love her.
- It's like when she talk about her story,
you could feel her pain.
You could feel what she went through.
- Hey are you gonna eat?
You should eat something, like something at least.
- Sara Johnson was my roommate during quarantine.
- Here. I thought I would take you this.
- She was like my mom 'cause I was withdrawing bad.
She understands it, she was in recovery.
She keeps me going.
I'm gonna keep listening and sharing,
and just try to inspire people as much as you can.
- My name is Fabian.
I'm 35-years-old
and I was born and raised in Patterson, New Jersey.
- [Narrator] At just 18-years-old,
Fabian was sent to prison for five years.
So he already knows the ins and outs
and plans on using this opportunity to demonstrate
just how easy it is to smuggle contraband into a jail.
- [Producer] What's going on?
- Okay, so where do we start?
Just to show you how good you could get drugs in here.
I walked in, in intake with this.
- Okay.
- Officer was quick with me,
like he didn't gimme me the time to like really search me.
(officers chattering)
- I didn't have eyes on me like that.
See it in my toe?
- [Producer] Yes. - All right.
I put my sock in, my white socks from the street.
- Yeah.
When they go over to take your shoes off,
you just take your shoe off, take your socks off like this.
He's gonna give you some socks
'cause they leave you in a room by yourself.
As soon as take your shoes off, take my socks off,
I don't have anything on my toe.
- When they gimme the clothes, I just put it back on.
If I could do it, everybody does it.
Not only did I walk in with that,
they give you complimentary shanks in here.
You could turn a comb into a pretty nice shank.
I needed to get rid of these items.
I didn't wanna flush this down the toilet,
just valuable for the camera.
I didn't wanna have to get caught with this
'cause this would've got me a real charge.
(intense music)
If that officer was to find the drugs and that shank on me,
it would've been Christmas for him.
If that officer was to find the dthan 20 spots remaining [Nr
on our countdown for the top 50 of "60 Days In."
Next up, number 19.
- I'm Alex. I'm a political science major.
Growing up, I had a pretty easy childhood,
but I wanna show my parents
that I can get through "60 Days In" jail
without needing their help.
- [Narrator] During his time at Etowah County jail,
Alex started to miss the comforts of home.
But when he splurged on commissary,
his extravagance caught the eye of other inmates.
(inmates chattering)
- So with commissary, I'd been in there a couple days.
I was hungry because all I had
was the three meals a day that they had.
I ordered butter fingers, I ordered Snickers,
I ordered chili cheese Fritos,
I ordered peanut butter, that was my favorite thing.
A couple of guys down cells from me,
he got the beat out of him over six packs of ramen noodles.
Bones and Dalton come up to me and they're like,
"Hey man, just so you know,
you're probably gonna get robbed."
I was a little bit nervous.
It was the first time that any sort of violence
had been alluded to.
But if I get robbed,
I'm gonna make it as hard for them as possible
to take my stuff.
Take my life before you take my peanut butter.
It's door day in the pod
and it's where everybody gets all their commissary,
all their candy, chips and everything like that.
- My strategy going into commissary is
I didn't wanna draw any attention to myself.
I wanted to get it and go.
(inmates chattering)
- Ah, it's a jungle out there, man.
Y'all good?
Got back in the room, kinda was going through my inventory.
Then I see it, the jar of peanut butter.
And I rip open that freaking jar.
I licked the freaking top, I don't care.
And I grabbed my spork that I got to
and just get a fat scoop. (indistinct)
I probably killed 25% of the jar just right then and there.
God, it was the best $4 I ever spent in my life.
- My name is Mark.
I spent 13 years in the Army.
When I first got out of the military,
I worked as a corrections officer.
You gotta worry about, you know,
hey, am I gonna get jumped today?
- [Narrator] Early on, former CO Mark struggled to fit in
and gain the inmates trust.
So, he figured the best way to win them over
is by preaching the word of the Lord.
- I gotta step up my game.
My strategy is show them
that I'm someone that they can trust.
I feel like just doing a Bible study
will help people know that I'm a good Christian guy
that they can come to for counseling.
I would like to think
that I'm fairly well respected in the pod.
- I've been asked to take leadership of the whites
when they come in.
I was just like, wow.
Josh asked me to hold a tattoo needle.
So of course, I'm gonna say yes.
I threw the tattoo needle in my Bible.
- [Mark] Josh was concerned that he was going to get raided.
- It did cross my mind.
I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
- My name is Jon.
I am 37-years-old.
I worked in law enforcement for about five years.
I worked as a sheriff's deputy,
then I was a Deputy United States Marshal for two years.
- [Narrator] In season three,
veteran and former law enforcement agent Jon
had his patience put to the test by fellow inmate Dashaun.
- Dashaun, I actually met him in intake.
You can't avoid Dashaun.
I'm just getting annoyed.
I'm starting to feel my patience slipping.
He was begging me to make a trade for food
and I didn't really care.
I wasn't gonna be punked out by Dashaun
in front of everybody.
- My name is Shanese.
I am an educator. I work with at-risk youth.
A lot of my kids are in the system.
A lot of their families are in the system.
By doing this, I wanna be able to come out
and say that I've been through it.
I understand and I've made it through.
- [Narrator] At the Etowah County jail,
Shanese found herself amidst a toxic mix
of drugs and bullies,
which led to an unexpected demand from the pod boss.
- Angel is one of the people we call like the pod boss
and she's good friends with my roommate,
which sucks.
My roommate Tiffany came in
and she said, "Angel needs you to pee for her."
And I was like, what?
- Angel is scary.
I don't wanna piss her off.
(suspenseful music)
- If you cross me, we got a problem.
(Shanese sighs)
- I never thought that I would be peeing
for anyone in jail, I mean.
What if she doesn't pass?
Is she gonna try to fight me?
Am I gonna have to try to fight her back?
- I'm Steve, I'm a private investigator.
I've been working undercover for almost 30 years now.
It's what I do.
- [Narrator] In season five, Steve came in guns blazing.
(gun firing)
And went out in a way no one could have predicted.
- My goal was to identify any source of contraband
and I found out some pretty important things
and I knew at that moment
I had accomplished my objective.
I have to speak to the sheriff right now.
I was assured that I could give a signal
and they would pluck me out.
- [Sheriff] You guys are in such a dangerous situation.
If you need help, we have an emergency signal.
Grab your shoulder while saying, "My shoulder's killing me."
- This is the cavalry?
A couple of 'em, frick and frack,
tweedle dee, tweedle dumb, chuckle nuts.
This is my backup?
I was just pissed at that point.
(inmates chattering)
Right here, right here.
- [Officer] Thomas!
- They bring me a handwritten note that says, "Call me."
Now I have 60 killers looking at me going,
"What the hell just happened?"
This is jail. They don't bring you notes.
Hello?
- Hey, the whole signal thing,
you know, "We'll be right in, we'll take care of you."
I know where the dope's coming from.
I know everything, alright?
It's about to get ugly as a (bleep) in here.
I'll see you shortly.
I had so many things I want to talk to the sheriff about
and we're walking down this hallway
thinking I'm going to an interview
and I look up and I'm at intake.
- Steve's antics will not be tolerated.
The stakes are just too high.
I cannot take any chances with not only his safety,
but especially jeopardizing the safety
of the other participants and this entire program.
- [Steve] You're throwing me out of jail?
How (bleep) dare you?
- [Steve] You're throwing me out of jaitdown.
Here's number 14.
- My name's Heather. I'm 41-years-old.
I am the jail commander over operations
at a county jail in Utah.
- [Narrator] Working at a jail gave Heather
all the info she needed to blend in.
In fact, she blended in so well
that another inmate took a special interest in her.
- Within the first few days of me being here,
I started getting close with Betsy.
I am a lesbian. I am single.
We absolutely flirt with one another.
She knows a lot of stuff.
She knows about the inner workings,
who's doing what, who's dealing what,
where they're getting it from.
So having her on my side
and having a close connection with her,
I know I'm gonna be able to ascertain
a lot more information than if I didn't.
- You know, learning from Betsy has been very, very beneficial.
But I would say I think
that Betsy was developing feelings for me, yes.
(suspenseful music)
- [Betsy] All right. Go.
- I did not think things would get to this point.
I wasn't ready for it.
You know, I pushed her away
and immediately I could tell I hurt her feelings.
Coming into this, I was completely,
you know, resigned to the fact that I was going to use
my sexuality to maybe get close to people,
but I will not cross any physical lines.
That's going too far.
However, you know,
I just hurt somebody that I don't want to hurt.
- My name is Carlos. I drive trucks for a living.
I move America.
I was a part of the Latin Kings.
I ran the streets.
- [Narrator] When Carlos was young,
he did three and a half years for weapons possession.
Back then, his goal was just to survive.
But this time, he's on the mission to expose
how easy it is to find drugs on the inside.
- The inmates that are taking the pills,
they put it in their mouth,
act like they swallowed it and they leave.
So if there's gonna be any drugs, there's gonna be pills.
I seen an inmate cheek a pill
so I told 'em, I was like,
"Listen, I see that you get pills,"
you know, I'm like, "You know, what's up?"
That breakthrough made me feel good about my mission.
- My name is Vanessa.
I'm a firefighter
and I have eight years experience in corrections.
- [Narrator] In season six,
Vanessa shared a cell with the pod boss, Angel,
giving her rare access to the inner workings
of the jail's drug trade.
- I'm trying to spend time just out in the open
so I can see everything, so I can be a little more active
and I could get more information on the drugs.
- They sat right there in church and rolled up some clone.
That's a problem.
Being a cellmate with Angel and Angelique,
I could get more information on the drugs.
- They obviously feel comfortable enough
to talk about whatever they talk about in front of me,
but now I'm to the point where if they find out
that I'm working undercover, I'm in danger.
All my muscles sore.
(Angel laughs)
- If Angel suspects me, I'm in danger.
This is very serious.
- [Narrator] Next on our countdown,
our father and son participants from Utah.
- [Officer] Good day, gentlemen.
- [Narrator] They may have entered the jail together,
but on the inside, they made very different choices.
First up at number 11 is Andrew.
- My name is Andrew, I'm 25-years-old
and I'm not exactly sure why I said yes to this.
- [Narrator] Andrew's reason for joining might be unclear,
but one thing's certain.
The other inmates could tell right away
that he doesn't fit the typical tough guy mold.
- I am a member of the Mormon church and you know,
one of our doctrines is no sex until marriage.
So the fact that I'm a virgin,
it definitely doesn't contribute
to any sort of image as an alpha male.
- It came to my attention that Andrew
was being labeled as gay in the dorm.
Based on my observations of Andrew,
it's kind of easy to kind of get that perception,
I guess you'd say,
based on the way he kind of carries himself,
as far as the way he walks, sometimes the way he talks,
sometimes the things he says.
(inmates chattering)
- In the last few years, lots of people
have been wondering whether I'm gay or not.
I'm not sure why.
I am straight.
On the outside, if I were gay, I'd be completely open about it.
In here though, being gay would definitely
make me a target of sorts.
(inmate chattering)
I'm looking for small ways to quash the rumors.
I don't feel like I need to stand up
and say, "Hey everyone, for the record, I'm not gay,
just so you know." You know?
But I am planning on being more overtly heterosexual,
I guess you could say, during the rest of my time here.
- [Narrator] Kicking off the top 10
is Andrew's father, Matt.
- My name is Matt.
I'm 56-years-old.
I am a former Utah state prison chaplain.
- [Narrator] Being separated from his son
during their "60 Days In" was difficult for Matt
and he constantly feared for Andrew's safety.
So when Matt was accused of wronging an inmate,
he worried how Tebow, the pod boss, would retaliate.
- Apparently there's a code in jail
that you don't touch another man's bag.
You especially don't put it on the floor.
- Tebow's friend accused me
of throwing his clothing on the floor.
He goes and he snitches on me to Tebow.
(inmates chattering)
And then he talked to someone, whomever, through the door.
(inmates chattering)
- My son's next door so I'm worried about my son.
Being in that pod any longer becomes,
I think, a mortal threat to my son.
I know I'm a target in one way or another
and if I fight with Tebow,
I fight with any of them, my son will become a target
because they know that he's my son.
And I promise you that will happen.
I want Andrew to be safe
so I'm falling on my sword for my son.
- Yes, but I am conflicted
because I know how much he wants me here,
but I also know that what I'm doing is for him.
Saying goodbye to my son,
that will be the most devastating moment of my life.
(intense music)
with number nine.es
- My name is Nate, I'm 28-years-old.
I'm a Marine.
I spent four years in the United States Marine Corps,
two combat deployments to Iraq.
And I'm pursuing my dream job
as a fish and wildlife officer.
- [Narrator] It takes a special kind of person
to thrive for "60 Days In".
But Nate made it look easy.
- If you gain the respect
and these people consider you a friend,
you have won everything.
I'm definitely in with these guys.
- Flex on that bitch, bro!
- Nate is valuable to this program
because he was able to embed himself
with the inmates in zone 500
and earn their trust and respect.
- [Narrator] He was so successful
that for the first time in the series,
producers asked him to do something
that had never been done.
- [Producer] Colonel Adger
really has a lot of respect for you
and he thinks that you can, you know, really help him.
Would you like to stay in for another 60 days?
- I'm, yeah, at this point, I wanna do it.
And I've kind of noticed like you know a lot less people,
you know, watching what I'm doing
and paying attention to me.
- [Officer] Open five.
- [Nate] It feels like you've crested the top of the hill
and you should be coming back down,
but instead you have a second hill to climb.
- One up!
(tense music)
- My name's Tami, I'm 46-years-old,
and I'm a police officer.
- [Narrator] Being a cop means Tami's
no stranger to tough situations.
But dealing with one young inmate named Boston
pushed her patience to the limit.
- She thinks that she's the pod boss in there.
- I won't tolerate it. It's not right.
She has pretty much felt like she can run the pod
since I've walked in the door
and this is where the frustration lies.
I don't take (bleep) from anybody. I never have.
- I'm friends with everybody in here.
I have had really intense training
in terms of how to protect myself on the street.
If it's just this girl,
she's gonna be leaving in an ambulance.
- My name is Donovan. I'm 46-years-old.
I'm a narcotics detective.
The people we deal with are not your everyday citizens.
It's usually the worst of the worst.
Working undercover, I can go from Sunday school speaking
to street speaking pretty quick.
- [Narrator] As a police officer,
Donovan was caught off guard in season six
when the Etowah County Chief of Corrections
asked him to smuggle a handcuff key into jail.
- The butterflies are kicking in a little bit now.
I was worried that if I got caught coming in with that key,
that was gonna be some, like some lockdown time,
some solitary confinement time,
or a good old-fashioned beat down.
- [Officer] Anything else on you sir?
- No. - [Officer] Alright.
If I find anything else, you'll be charged with it.
- [Donovan] I actually stuck the key in my waistband.
It should be easily felt on any type of pat down.
So now I'm really getting nervous.
Anxiety's really kicking in.
And then we come to the metal detector.
(suspenseful music)
- Come here, step through this for me real quick.
- I walked through the metal detector and it never alerted.
- [Officer] Face the wall, put your hands up on it.
- [Donovan] I'm halfway home with it.
Now, I've got a pat down process to get through.
He wanded me thoroughly and never picked it up.
I could have basically come in
with a lot more than just a handcuff key.
I go in, I take a shower.
So I slide it into my shoe.
When I come out, they had found the key in my shoe.
- [Donovan] I'm thinking, what have I done?
And now I'm worried about what's gonna happen next.
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] Numbers five and six on our countdown
feature two participants who are determined
to obtain contraband during their time in jail.
- My name is Tony, I'm 32.
I'm a correctional officer.
- I'm Dennis.
I definitely grew up in the hood.
So while I'm in there I'm not gonna tolerate any disrespect.
- [Narrator] In jail, homemade weapons like shanks
are a serious threat.
(objects banging) (inmates yelling)
- [Narrator] After seeing another inmate get stabbed,
two of our participants decided to arm themselves
with shanks of their own.
- [Producer] What's a banger?
- A banger is a shank.
- I'm gonna show you some of the contraband
that we get out of our jail.
- Wow, a actual knife.
I came here with a purpose.
One of my goals is to get me a shank.
I don't plan on leaving
until I reach what I sought out to I do.
If it's a shank in there, I can get the shank.
(inmates chattering)
- [Dennis] I didn't want to get a shank before Tony.
It's game time.
- And Dennis is too green.
- [Dennis] Anything that Tony can do,
I think I can do better. (laughs)
(inmates chattering)
Roughly 11 to $12 worth of items.
- [Narrator] But Tony wasn't the only season six participant
who managed to get a shank.
- Yeah.
You wanna see what it look like? - [Producer] I do.
- There.
Just real small,
but real sharp though.
One of my guys that I know who had it, he ended up leaving,
he left the banger inside his room with his cellmate
and I went in there and told the cellmate,
like, hey, such and such left the banger for me.
I found my flow. I'm making moves.
I'm quicker than I thought I would
and I'm the man in jail, to be honest with you.
I'm quicker than I thought I would ourn
to the top participant.
- [Narrator] Before the big reveal,
here's number four.
- I'm Ashley.
Being a police officer is a rollercoaster of emotions
but you will not see me shed a tear on this show.
I promise.
I have been in the National Guard for over 11 years.
I love my country.
- [Narrator] 29-year-old Texas cop, Ashley,
knew jail would be tough
but she didn't expect to go through it completely nude.
- Third night, I didn't shower for the first three days
'cause I was hoping for clean clothes.
But apparently,
we're supposed to set our laundry bags out at night.
- So I stripped down to put my clothes outside
and I had no underwear
and I'm there and I'm naked
and I'm like, "Are you gonna bring me extra clothes?"
Said she was going to.
I can't believe the (bleep) guard abandoned me
naked in my room.
I don't know, I don't know what more to do.
That was the most humiliating moment of my life.
- My name is Zac.
I'm 30-years-old. I live in Tennessee.
I'm in the Marine Corps Reserve.
- [Narrator] In season one, Marine veteran, Zac,
made it his personal mission
to track down an illegal cell phone
that had been smuggled into the jail.
- Now, one of the inmates is hiding a cell phone in the pod.
Everybody in the pod knows
that there's a cell phone in the pod
and they know it's in Daffron's room.
- We received numerous information
that Daffron has a cell phone.
(cell phone vibrating)
It's already lockdown.
The lights already turned out for the night
and one of the guards comes in.
The guard's looking for a cell phone.
(objects thudding)
- [Zac] All of a sudden, I hear a scuffle.
They're definitely fighting in the room.
I don't know if the guard is being jumped by all four guys.
Going to back up the guard entered my mind.
But I am definitely outnumbered in the pod.
It would be suicide for me.
- [Inmate] Break it up, break it up, break it up, break it up.
(dramatic music)
- Over there.
- It is in my nature to try to protect people
and try to keep people from getting hurt.
But in my current position,
I have no way to do anything about it.
- My name's Angele.
I'm an electrician and I'm 25-years-old.
I've never like actually been arrested
but I have a lot of friends that have been.
- [Narrator] While some fans remember Angele
for her wild birthday party,
it was her unprecedented love story
with an inmate that cemented an Angele's place
in "60 Days In" history.
- When I'm with Gabrielle, I have tons of butterflies.
I can't hide it. I can't fake it.
Definitely would've not thought
that it would've gotten to this point.
- [Producer] Are you romantically involved with her?
(Angele laughing)
- Yes.
Gabrielle and I, we have a pretty close relationship.
We're really affectionate with each other.
We're a little intimate with each other, kind of, sort of.
- [Stephanie] When she started kissing her,
I was very shocked.
I mean, I know we're in jail, but my goodness.
Angele definitely doesn't think about the big picture.
- We talk. (laughing)
And we hug.
And we kiss.
When I realized how intimate we were getting
and how close we were getting,
I was just like, okay, like I gotta be upfront with her.
I just let her know, I was like, "Yo, look,
I'm in here as an undercover inmate."
- [Producer] Do you understand how serious this is?
- Yeah.
Am I gonna (bleep) get kicked out the program?
- [Producer] I don't know.
- We need to have a talk with you.
I think you know why we need to have a talk, don't you?
- Yeah, I already know.
- I don't think you, you know, fully understand
the consequences of what's going on here.
Your actions have put everyone in serious danger.
So we're gonna end your participation in this project.
- Okay.
- This is an emergency.
Word is already out at the women's pod
and it's only a matter of time
before it gets back to the men's facility.
I have to act quickly and covertly
to get all the participants out to safety.
- Pack up!
- Thomas, you need to pack it up.
(inmates chattering) - Thank you.
- Damn, Angele, you (bleep) idiot.
- [Narrator] The big moment has finally arrived.
It's time to reveal which participant
takes the top spot in our countdown.
- My name is Abner and I'm a chaplain slash ex-con.
I was a guy that you were gonna cross the street
when you saw me.
You were absolutely gonna cross the street
when you saw me coming.
Me going into this program,
I'm doing it for everybody to know
that everybody deserves a second chance.
- [Narrator] Just because he's a chaplain on the outside
doesn't mean ex-gang member, Abner,
will tolerate any nonsense on the inside.
When someone steals from his crew,
he's ready to deliver justice.
- I am a man of God,
but in here I am the enforcer
holding position for the Chicanos,
the right-hand man for the head of the Chicanos,
that runs the whole institution.
If you (bleep) steal from me,
I'm going to beat the living Indian (bleep) outta you.
I think I've overstepped the boundaries
of what I previously seen on "60 Days In."
- Giovanni took it upon himself
to start stealing from Justin.
$50 worth of phone.
- The enforcer is the one that makes the ultimate sacrifice.
If someone has to get smacked, someone will get smacked.
- We're pretty much judge and the jury.
He's wrong for stealing.
You stole from the white boy. (indistinct)
- You could tell he was lying.
- I'm gonna tell you straight up,
I'm not gonna lie, homie,
and if you want it, I'm gonna be out here.
- He went in front of the camera and ran out the room.
It was like a snitch, check it move, a rat.
Once he sees that blood pouring,
he's going to know what reality is.
(fists pounding)
(bodies, objects thudding)
- [Inmate] Yo, yo, yo, don't let him go.
- Me and Giovanni used to play chess a lot,
but this time I pretty much check mate him.
- [Narrator] There you have it.
The 50 most memorable to ever go "60 Days In",
from drugs and shanks to blown cover stories
and tapping out.
Each of these undercover inmates
faced unimaginable challenges
and we will never forget their time on the inside.
