YORK, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A&E
announces the highly anticipated return of non-fiction docuseries
"60 Days In" and "Inmate to Roommate" premiering
Thursday, May 30 at 9pm ET/PT and 10pm
ET/PT, respectively. Bringing together seven undercover
participants with an interest in improving the jail, the new season
of "60 Days In" goes behind bars in the Utah County Jail overseen
by Sheriff Mike Smith. The new
season of "Inmate to Roommate" introduces a new group of recently
released inmates as they re-enter society and move in with everyday
people who are welcoming them into their homes.
This season on "60 Days In," seven participants
voluntarily go undercover in the Utah County Jail to shed light on
an influx of drugs, contraband and gang activity to help the
Sheriff identify issues and create positive change for both inmates
and staff. The Utah County Jail, one of the largest in the state,
is run by Sheriff Mike Smith who was
elected in 2018 and is currently serving his second 4-year term as
the Utah County Sheriff. Prior to entering the facility, Sheriff
Smith introduces the participants to one another so that once
booked, they can work as a team to complete their missions. For the
first time, a new rule is enacted that once you give the distress
signal, you will be pulled out of the program. With no time for
second chances or moments of weakness, the fearless participants,
each with their own personal motives, make a pact to not quit the
program early and to do whatever it takes to expose the flaws in
the system.
The captivating new season of "Inmate to Roommate"
follows six inmates from across the country as they leave prison
behind and move in with everyday people they've never met. One of
the most significant factors in reducing recidivism is access to
housing and this practice has been the subject of re-entry programs
aimed at stopping recidivism. Each homeowner has their own
motivations for taking in an ex-convict. In season two, the former
inmates will face major challenges to their sobriety, stricter
house rules, parole constraints, and shocking accusations from
their new roommates. Boundaries will be tested and secrets will be
revealed. Can these former inmates integrate back into society, or
will this non-traditional housing situation make them feel
imprisoned all over again?
