It was a very intense show. After watching it I had the feeling I knew what it would been like if I was in jail. I have heard people say in jail people have a better life than out in the real work ie. for homeless people. Just watching the very first episode of this show I get the feeling jail would never be a place you would ever want to go, even to be better off than your currently situation.
Hearing the 7 girl's situations who went to experience jail kind of hit home a little bit. I have a couple cousin's who have gone down the same paths as them. Once the girls were in jail they totally had no control of anything and inmates controlled everything they did and yelled a lot.
I really felt for the one girl who saw her mother in the same jail. Seeing her mom in jail and knowing she had experienced the same things the inmates said/did to her was totally an eye opener for her.
Other than seeing the inmates yard, you saw their cells, the bathroom situation and the max security area. After the tour the girls met inmates who got themselves in jail by acting the same why they are currently acting.
At the end of the show you get a update on how the girls are currently after they experienced the jail in CA. Most changed for the better and a some changed for the worst and are currently in juvie.
By the end of the show I didn't want it to end. Can't wait for next week.
