If your looking for a mindless watch and something reality based it's not so bad. It's basically like any other "prison program" you see on Discovery or NatGeo. Some of the stories are interesting. I've only watched a couple of episodes. I don't think you can watch much more than 1 or 2 at a time. It's sad because the majority of these inmates, especially the women are in for the root cause being drugs. I'd say that most just belong in some sort of long term drug program, but then again I'm sure most have been to those places before they got to jail. Anyway, it's not terrible. Nothing groundbreaking here.
