Jail

Jail is a reality television series aired by MyNetworkTV created by the father-son producing team of John Langley and Morgan Langley, the minds behind the infamous, enduring series “Cops”. The series follows lawbreakers that may have been seen on “Cops” in their journey from booking to behind bars. Jail is filmed on location in prisons across the country, profiling criminals that range from new arrestees that have committed minor crimes to hardened criminals and ruthless murderers. It is shot in the same fashion as “Cops”, from the point of view of law enforcement. In this case, Jail provides a first-hand view of the lives of corrections officers that deal with an array of unpredictable inmates, who may have trouble dealing with the reality of facing a new life behind bars. One of the most famous early episodes of the series was the booking of former NFL Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson into a Nevada detention center. Jail also airs on Spike TV and TruTV (as “Inside American Jail”). Join inmates of the department of corrections in both county jails and state jails as they go on a journey from mugshot to jail cell in MyNetworkTV's Jail. MORE
