Meanwhile, Behind Bars: Rookie Year will again feature the New Mexico Corrections Department which, A&E says, "is one of the most notoriously dangerous prison systems in the country."įewer than 1,000 officers must deal with more than 7,000 inmates.įor added drama, the prison gang Syndicato de Nuevo Mexico "has declared war on law enforcement" making it a dicey time to be a rookie in the system.
"The only way to truly understand what was going on in the jail was to implement innocent participants into the system to provide first-hand, unbiased intelligence," Noel told A&E. A&E informs us that the Clark County Jail "houses approximately 500 prisoners - from first-time offenders to inmates charged with drug dealing and capital murder."Īllegedly, no actual inmates, officers or prison staff knew about the eight pretenders as they are followed 24/7 for two months by more than 100 prison cameras. The five men and three women were chosen to participate by Sheriff Jamey Noel of Indiana's Clark County Jail, and theoretically have an interest in the criminal justice system and not death wishes. But what if the real inmates discover their secret? Bad, bad things could happen. The stated purpose for this crew is to shed light on local and national issues in the corrections system.

(Aside: It's odd how TV no longer simply has episodes. Season 2 of A&E's "docu-series" 60 Days In premieres with "a two-hour event" at 8 p.m. The obvious question is, "Who is nuts enough to go to prison when they don't have to?"
