March 24, 2016 Ryan Berenz

It’s just another beautiful day in the Clark County Jail, brought to you by the well-intentioned but foolhardy cast of A&E’s 60 Days In. In economic news today, Forbes reports that it’s still MOB: Money Over Bitches!! Read more of our 60 Days In recaps here! It’s Episode 4 of 60 Days In, and the show has really hit its stride with “Fight Face.” I no longer care that Robert is probably an actor planted in the cast.

Episode 3 of A&E’s 60 Days In, “Cell Shock,” starts pretty much as expected. “Robert is doing everything wrong,” says Capt. Scottie Maples. Robert is an imbecile, or at least he plays one on TV. Robert’s a danger to himself and anyone who befriends him, like poor, poor DiAundré here, who just wanted to eat his meal in peace like a female but instead gets socked […]

March 22, 2016 Ryan Berenz

In Episode 2 of A&E’s 60 Days In, “First Timers,” the plot thickens, Zac’s just chillin’ and Robert’s booty tightens as his cover story falls apart. Read more of our 60 Days In recaps here! I love this guy. He looks like a less resourceful member of the Amish Mafia. I we get to check in on him every episode. Let’s see how our volunteer prisoners are doing this week. Zac’s pretty good at this jail thing. Maybe a little too good. He’s smart enough to keep his mouth shut. He can keep his story straight. He doesn’t immediately look like […]
