I think an hour of Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight was enough. I just couldn’t take Laverne as Frank N. Furter. Plus it’s time for death watch on 60 Days In. I swear this season is fraught with so much more danger than last season. Tonight, I believe the sewer will finally be fixed and everyone will get back to the pods.
Wow. It has been 30 hours since the sewer line was crushed and they are just starting to work on the line. Meanwhile, the inmates are restless and the guards are losing it. They are so concerned about a riot that they do not even want to allow them to stand up. I would think in 30 hours they could have got some bottled water in there. It would seem wise to give them a few things to keep the occupied. Books, cards, porn, whatever. Something.
Even Quentin is starting to unravel a bit.
The Girls
F-Pod has been stuck in A-Pod and no one is happy about that. Then, someone starts a rumor that there are lice in the pod. I am itching just typing that. I probably still have a bottle of lice shampoo somewhere in my bathroom closet from teaching at an elementary school. If I even heard about a kid with lice I’d come home and use that nasty stuff. I just can’t. Can we not talk about this anymore?
Something has bitten Ashleigh or caused a rash on the back of her legs. A really nice guard takes a look at it and says she will tell medical but that medical probably won’t have time to see her. Do they not have cortisone cream on commissary? Or Benadryl cream? What if it is something contagious?
The Guys
It’s over 31 hours since this nightmare began and it still hasn’t occurred to anyone to go down to the WalMart and get a few flats of bottled water. Hell, if they asked nicely, WalMart would even donate them and probably through in some snacks. Instead, one of the female guards loses her damn mind and goes to get the pepper gun and threatens to shoot everyone up with it. See, guard lady, you’re gonna need a mask for your damn self if you want to go that route. What you are doing now is called pissing everyone off even more. It’s pretty much the opposite of what you should be doing.
They pull Dion out to film, and probably give him some damn water, and he cries. This one ain’t gonna make it the next two weeks, y’all.
F- Pod
After 36 hours, the sewer line has been fixed. Everyone can go back to their pod. Home sweet home. Sheri goes right back to work. She can tell that drugs are coming and she is watching to see how they arrive.
Zac is still being a dick on the phone. Ashleigh’s bite or whatever it is on the back of her leg is becoming worse and feeling hot. It seems to be spreading. She feels feverish and sick. The producers are concerned and pull her for an interview. Ashleigh doesn’t want to leave. She wants to finish her commitment that she made. She opts not to take the medical care that would end her time there.
Monalisa has a breakdown after talking to one of the inmates about how to best care for her daughter when her time is up. She will have served ten years in prison and will be a grown woman and a totally different person. Sherri talks about how families need counseling on how to help re-acclimate inmates back into the family and society.
Three new girls come into the pod. But only one of them has everyone’s attention. Her name is Damaris and she is super quiet. Some of the girls go up to her room to find her intake papers. It sounds like a very violent assault on a minor. Oh God. It was a six month old baby. She might have killed it. Ashleigh might kill her. This is next week’s drama.
C-Pod
I wonder if they did a drug sweep with the dogs while everyone was out of there? There was pot everywhere right before they evacuated.
Ryan won’t eat the jail food. He only eats peanut butter. So he has started selling his trays. This of course has Captain Maples panties in a bunch again. Maples worries about all the wrong shit.
Quintin got talk to his daughter on the phone and he was literally doing the happy dance the whole time he was on the phone. So cute.
D-Pod
Poor Dion over in D-Pod all alone. Well, not all alone, he has 59 other dudes in there with him. One of those dudes has started sleeping in the day room bathroom. Now y’all know Dion does not play when it comes to using the bathroom. Dion goes in to drops some kids in the pool and doesn’t flush. Then he starts trash talking in the day room. Where is Captain Maples to complain about this?
Well, it’s the final stretch and it looks like all six will survive. Maybe.
I have to agree with Quintin: I am disappointed by the lack of leadership amongst the CO’s Theiir disinterest contributes greatly to the terrible conditions of the jail. I understand from a prior recap or comment that the sheriff wants to use the show to highlight the impacts of budget cuts on the jail, but ensuring that CO’s don’t behave as assholes doesn’t have anything to do with budgets. Pepper spray gal is a prime example.
Pepper spray girl needs to be terminated, IMO. The aftershow was clear, the Sheriff elected to take over this highly corrupt prison was angry at his employees.
What a crazy episode! My personal opinion is , if that Damaris girl really hurt/killed a baby , I hope that everyone in the pod kicks her ass as payback!

I was disturbed the fat male guard was drinking bottled water in front of the inmates.
TT what you wrote about buying a few cases of bottled water is what I was thinking after a few hours into their predicament.
Less than $50. would had covered those guys.
Those are horrible guards, horrible people. Some of those inmates will have their charges dropped and others have not been convicted yet.
I don’t think legally the jail can dispense any medicine, even over the counter without a medical person.
It’s not really necessary to fat shame.
Spaketh the fat chick. He’s doing his job.
Hey TT, was not sure where to comment, I just want you to know, I still have your back. You do not share too much and i remember the ass holes bitching about your vacations. If anybody gives you too much grief, “call out the dogs”, we will be here for you. Go Tigers #allin.
The state of Indiana let alone clark county jail does really suck my husband spent a fee days in there and they still haven’t changed shit at all
I just do not understand he inability to supply water. There are so many ways they could have resolved that matter. I was glad to see the female CO who lost her shit be admonished on camera.
Child abusers do not do well locked up with frustrated mothers who miss their kids. Dammar is better sleep with one eye open! I suspect she was thrown in to remind us what kind of people are in jail, because I would imagine she is supposed to be in protective custody.
It really baffles my mind. It’s about being humane AND even selfishly, if you are a hardened CO that doesnt cAre, doesn’t it make your job easier also to provide water? At some point, couldn’t guards even throw $20 in each and get some water, even if one small bottle per person. Just sad. I think it really depicts how desensitized you get working in a system daily like this and you start to not see the person in the criminal.
On the topic of The new girl in there for harming a baby. I so hope that Ashleigh can egg her on so that the inmate throws a punch and Ashleigh can kick her ass. It won’t happen, but I so want it to. I think with the cameras there, you will just get a lot of talk from the women that leads to no action. Eventually that woman will get hers and I pray if those charges are correct, it hurts a lot when she does.
I believe that CO that lost it was the same “nice” one that looked at Ashleigh’s leg. If she has kids, I imagine she can be a scary Mom. Don’t mess up or concerned caring Mom turns into scary psycho Mom! Her temperament needs work.
Funny enough,she seemed nice at first when talking to the other CO. She seemed upset that she had no water to give them and I think she was even the one that asked if the kitchen could give bottles of water and the other CO said there wasn’t enough. But then, once she opened the door,,, bam, that demeanor changed. Your right, it was like a pissed off mom that is like listen to me, fall in-line or else. When she went to grab that gun later and said she would spray up the room… damn, girl has some anger. I hope she watches this and changes as a person and CO.
Makes me think of the women that are in jail right now with Victoria martens’ killers in new Mexico. What that must be like! Love this show and thanks for the timely recaps. I haven’t seen this episode yet because of rocky horror.
Ooohhhh! This was a good episode!! Loved how Sheri instantly knew that Damaris was a bad one. Dion, sweet beautiful Dion. That’s all 😉
Sheri had got amazing instincts. She should be & could be much more than a CO in her career.
I wonder why the water company didn’t provide cases of water. There have been several times when a water has burst close to my house and the water was turned off while the repairs were made. Each time someone from the water company came to my door to tell me the water would be turned off for awhile and they brought cases of water and told me to call if I needed more.
In the prior 15-min show, didn’t the Sheriff say they didn’t provide water because they would have to use the non-functioning toilets to get rid of the water?
I’m wondering if there isn’t going to be a cruel and unusual punishment or inhumane treatment suit coming from this.
I’ve been reading for awhile and love all of the recaps and comments. You seem to have created a wonderful community here. Congrats! I don’t
Sorry didn’t finish editing my post before I hit publish. I was just hoping someone could tell me why here in Chicago I seem to be an episode behind. Does anyone else have this issue? I can’t get this episode on demand. But thanks for the recap TT – I look forward to the laughs and insight you give. FYI – I have never posted on a blog before so I tried to follow rules and hope I did ok.
And there should be way more comments on this blog then Houewives. What’s wrong with people? This show is more real and way more riveting. And the people, criminals included, are largely less vial.
Thanks for recapping TT.
Jails in the US are just so horrible, overcrowded & unnatural. Jails in Australia are resorts compared to the ones in US.
I have been to jail once, I served almost ten months in a women’s pod and while I was there a woman came in, she was serving time because she put her 2 small children in a tub of water and then went in the next room to have sex with her boyfriend. While they were doing their thing the smaller child slipped under and drowned. Her sentence? 6 months and she was allowed work release! They only charged her with child neglect, not murder, everyone in there wanted to choke her. On another point, jail is pretty much just like they portray it except in our jail there is a CO present in every dorm, all the time which cuts out most nonsense. The only one that didn’t have a CO in the room at all times was the work release dorm but a guard popped in frequently. I spent time in both areas of the jail, work release was just an open dorm while gen pop had actual cells but they were all single cots so any overflow from crowding slept in those plastic boats in the common area like on the show.
Oops, name was supposed to be been there, lol
As I mentioned in another post earlier, I, decades ago, spent 30 hours in holding. I remember a girl who was just sitting really quiet and meek. After I was there a very short time, someone said, “yeah, she’s here cause she didn’t have a coat on her kid and the police picked her up, and took her kid”. Within seconds, and without warning, these girls just started beating her up, bloody!! I was already beyond traumatized and had never even seen a fight. The guard came and took her out, like no big deal. I guess if it’s regarding children, your not safe. I’m expecting similar and understand why someone asked on 60 days in “why is she in here”,
