It's alright for the type of show it is. I liked the other Jailbirds more. Why is it only three episodes though... I might have liked it more if I got to see more..

Thrash tv but entertaining thrash tv.

Jailbirds New Orleans is the kind of documentary that will or entertain you a lot, or that you will hate to see. You can count me in the persons that love that kind of stuff. Lyckily I never had kids, and I never will, but if I had kids I would make them watch this if I saw they were going the wrong way in life. Watching the jailbirds arguing like thirteen year old teenage girls about the most pathetic things, it's the perfect example what drugs can lead to. The before and after pictures from some of the inmates are speaking for themselves. From once a decent girl to a toothless finger missing lowlife, it's only a couple steps away. American prisons are just a mess, where there is almost no chance of rehabilitation, and this documentary shows it well. The privatization of those prisons is the worst thing to do. It's all a money making business, where they are absolutely not interested in the reintegration and education of their inmates. It's thrash tv but the kind I like to watch. It's sad but it also makes you realize how lucky we can be in life.
3 episodes is a tease

I watched this before the original even though I like Prison Docuseries. They aren't truly documantaries but they do give you some insight into what jail is like. It also shows you the darker side of human nature.
The big drawback is that there are only three episodes and the last one ends just as a fight breaks out. If you haven't already watch the original and skip this. The last one kinda ends in a weird place too but you get more episodes to get to know what it actually happening before it ends.

Megan might of killed someone but she could stab my heart. The thickness thou lol. I'm mad it's only 3 episodes but it's good show. It's weird to see how the officers give 2nd and 3rd chances to the trouble makers. I guess that's just how women's jails are. It's a good watch.
Ok show. Except for one comical aspect, at least to me, that I felt like mentioning.

Warning: Spoilers
I don't know how to put this and I don't want too give to much of a spoiler, but for those of you who have watched this season I found myself highly amused at how these girls were really into getting high off of a drug called Buspar that they even went as far trading it back and forth in exchange for other valuables such food, toiletries etc. Apparently the woman claimed that they were getting a really good high off of them. Buspar is a non-narcotic anti-anxiety drug. I take 3 a day. Which is what they determined was about the amount they needed to get high. They were comparing it to the way you feel when you get high on marijuana. Which I have also smoked plenty of in my life and no, it does not feel like that. It feels like nothing. For some reason I just want to add that in here. It's not really that relevant to the overall gist of the show. But I guess I felt like sounding off about it for the hell of it since I take that drug and have never experienced any mood altering experiences. I think what it showed me the most was how these poor women would try anything for a high. That's about all I have to say about it. But like I said, if you've seen this particular episode and then get prescribed Buspar sometime in the future. Don't expect to feel anything special. Except maybe your anxiety issues will start to clear up in about 4-6 weeks.
Pure trash TV
