Well, that’s prob the only way it works. I think the goal is to teach responsibility and community to those ‘beginner’ criminals before they become institutionalized and repeat offenders, and most importantly a drain on society.

The problem with county is there are some hardcore criminals that haven’t been convicted yet stuck with lighthearted dudes.

Some of those guys had/have pretty serious chargers. I’ve unfortunately been the guest of a Parish Prison in SE Louisiana for 3 days and that County Prison in Arkansas looked a hell of a lot better than the one I was in down here, even before the privileges started on the show. There wasn’t any 23/1 down here, the cell doors didn’t shut, at least 10 people on the floor in the common are because of overcrowding. Everything about the jail on Netflix was better than what I experienced for 3 days. It’s jail, it should suck but I think one of the Parish Prisons in Louisiana would have made a better show.
