60 Days In

9 Seasons
The concept of this show is great, the show and content was great and entertaining. Each person involved in their volunteered 60 day imprisonment wa well thought and planned out most of them had great inputs to help solve problems and make improvements in the jail. The major drawback is...if you enjoy watching the same material repeated every episode and only about 7 minutes of new material, you'll enjoy this series. It was frustrating just having to see the same stuff over and over and over.
