Unlocked: A Jail Experiment

As Little Rock natives we had to give it a go.

Binged it till the next to last episode. Had to take a break and haven't finished although I read the "ending" so to speak.

There's been a ton of backlash on the sheriff. He did not inform the Quorum court about the show filming and a judge ruled he had no authority to enter into a contract with Netfilx. Now Randall the inmate is suing for like $1.2 million because he didn't sign up to act and thinks a jury will see him in a different light because of the show.

Coffee sticks lol

I've read about other prisons where they smoke dried banana peels, and put nutmeg in hot water to catch a buzz

I was shocked at how well the experiment worked to the point it makes me believe this was somewhat fake.

I think they strategically chose which unit to try it on. They knew who the alpha in the unit was and that he would seize control but not go too overboard. I forget the names but without the black guy that took control over the first few weeks, they would have been back to 23 and 1 within 48 hours.

I think the concept can work if the officers throw anyone that acts up in solitary for a while but they have to consistent. The choice is do drugs or fight and lose all privileges or behave and get some freedom. I don't think it can work as the whole jail though. If there wasn't any consequences, no one would behave.

1) I'd argue that jury would see him in a better light because of the show. He took control and then treated people mostly fair and kept order.

2) I'd also say he DID sign up to be an actor when he agreed to be interviewed over and over.

True Story missed his calling as an NFL free safety. The ease with which he picked up that big boy that was talking shite to him was terrifying.

So much wasted talent in that place. Tiny could have been a hell of a featherweight. That tattoo artist could have been a, umm, tattoo artist.

Also:

Deputy Jessie Owens can fricking get it:

I have up after the first 15 minutes when I saw the hit prison guards

Noway in hell those two hot prison guards are prison guards in Little Rock Arkansas

Show is fake as frick
