This had the chance of being a great program that showed what no really happens in America's jails. Unfortunately it did. In many cases it did show SOME officers treating some offenders as what they were, innocent until proven guilty. Sadly that was only the case a minority of the time.
Far much more of the time it was obvious that many of the "officers" were playing far too much to the camera. It wasn't as much of a problem with some of them just primping constantly (Vegas!) by inserting themselves into other people's problems with the obvious intent of making them look worse and themselves look sympathetic, albeit so very, very, air-headed phony.
Other times it was just that plain disgusting to watch as some "officers" (especially one young blond hair man on several episodes (2007, Two Fisted Fights for example)) who always and I do mean ALWAYS went out of his way to escalate every situation into a fight resulting in someone in a restraint chair. Many times, even though they backed him up (blue wall) even the others working with him would roll their eyes at him or try step in, only for him to taunt prisoners (who were still innocent BTW) constantly in holding cells to "Keep banging on the door!" "Go ahead" "See what happens! "Just do it" over and over and over and over almost endlessly, especially when they've already backed down and are quiet, goading them on until they explode and have to be restrained. He's a small man who lived for the excitement of being seen as tough on camera. Phony brave only because he knew he was backed up by many others. Either that or he's just a horrible cop/jailer exposed.
He has no place in any form of jail or mental health facility or in any job that requires him to interact with any living thing. He's the type of cop that always ends up getting caught on tape beating someone on the street to death. Or worse never gets caught at all. He gives law enforcement a really bad name.
For him and several bad apples on this shows every person arrested must be already guilty, otherwise why did the police arrest them?
