60 Days In: Bed And Baggage

November 4, 2016 by tamaratattles 64 Comments

60-days-in-on-a-e

It’s time for the finale. I think it is pretty impressive that six off the original eight participants in round two made it through the entire 60 Days. I wish I could have watched this earlier. I am dying to know if Ryan does anything to help out Justin before he leaves. Sidenote: I could have sworn I saw Monalisa in the audience of Wendy Williams this morning. Don’t take that for gospel though because y’all know I have no facial recognition skills.

F-Pod

Sheri was a bit pissy that the Monalisa got out before she did; however, production knows that Sheri is on to a new shipment of drugs coming to the pod and I doubt they would want to release her before she investigates that. Sheri is doing by far the most investigation of the inmates. Ashleigh, on the other hand, needs to be discharged before she catches charges of her own.

Sheri’s new tactic of getting along with the druggie girls, leads to her discovering that one of the girls has a cell phone. This gives new meaning to the term, ‘cell phone.’ This girl, who agreed to be filmed for a reality show in order to be in this pod, is chatting away to some male inmate with special privileges.  It sounds like he may be a trustee in the laundry room.

60 Days In Sheri

 

Sheri stayed up all night with the girls trying to get more information about the drugs coming in. Ashleigh has lost her damn mind.  Maybe she was mad because her bunkie didn’t come home that night, I’m not sure but she took mattress and moved out. Sheri is furious and says that is the biggest bitch move she has ever seen Ashleigh make. I don’t know how to describe this other than some sort of gay for the stay relationship breaking up. It’s tragic. Ashleigh says she has to sleep before she becomes a danger to herself or others.  Somebody call the U-Haul these two are done.

Ashleigh tries to get some sympathy from her husband Zac. Zac is in NYC filming the reunion for season one of the show and is out to dinner with the entire cast.  He previous spent a week in Vegas looking for work. Ashleigh is pissed because she was with the baby 24/7 when he was in and took the kid to visit both sets of grandparents. Every time she calls him he seem to be having fun without her. Of course he was mean to her once again and even called her a fucking cunt. Remember when we thought Zac was just the best thing ever? This right is he what terrifies me about men. Now that she is back home, Ashleigh is trying to say that Zac didn’t treat her like crap, it was the editing or something.

Because Sheri knows everything that is going on all the time in that pod, she overhears the conversation that ends with Ashleigh telling Zac she fucking hates him. Sheri decides she needs to give love another chance with Ashleigh and does all of the right things. After talking to Sheri, Ashleigh feels better and the U-Haul needs to be cancelled.

With her love life all straightened out, Sheri gets right back to work. They much awaited laundry comes in and in it are some drugs in one of the girls items of clothing. She also thought the girls were overly eager for the mail call. So she starts monitoring everyone’s mail and sure enough, there were drugs there too. The trustees are putting it in the mail and the laundry before the COs pick it up. Where are the trustees getting the drugs? And there seems to be quite the assortment of uppers and downers. Sheri is concerned the girls might OD.

The next morning, both Sheri and Ashleigh are called for bed and baggage.

60-days-in-ryan

C-Pod

Ryan is the last participant in C-Pod where Justin is still in a really tight spot after borrowing money he had no ability to repay. Justin doesn’t seem to be overly intelligent and I am afraid this won’t end well for him. Jo Jo, his prison loan shark, yells at him to lace up  and wanders off, likely to lace up himself. Justin pushes the call button for the guards. This pisses of everybody. To make matters worse, the guards do not answer his call.

Justin at least doesn’t walk to his ass kicking voluntarily someone has to drag him there. I should point out that Justin is bigger than most anyone in there. The he could have beat the guy dragging him and stayed in the day room where the jail cameras are. Instead, he ends up in a cell waiting on Jo Jo to invite some of his closest friends to the beatdown. Justin just sits there on the bench awaiting his fate. You never let the bad guy take you to a second location, Justin.

Yes! Ryan says Justin! Ryan gave Justin three e-cigs and a honeybun.  That was enough to get Justin out of debt. The ass beating was cancelled.

Just when we think things have settled down in this pod, we find out that Ricky is in C pod. I’m unsure about the editing on this as far as when all of this happened. Ricky is the schizophrenic dude on Seroquel who punched Jeff because the TV told him he was a child molester.  Why in the name of hell, is he back in C-Pod now with Ryan in there? Sheriff Maples? I’m looking at you. Ricky probably needs to be in segregation all the time. That might not be legal though. But he at least needs to be given his much needed meds by someone who will thoroughly check out his mouth after each dose. Ricky has been cheeking his meds to trade for stuff and is now completely psychotic. He believes the TV is informing him there is a new child molester in the pod. I hope it’s not Ryan!

Oh no! It’s Ryan. He might even be lying in the bed Jeff had. It’s the bed of sinning pedophiles. Get up, Ryan! Get up! Ricky has the top bunk above Ryan. Ryan is just praying for someone to call bed and baggage before Ricky comes after him. He has to wait until the next day, but then he is called for release. He leaves at the same time as Sheri and Ashleigh, but separately.

On the Outside

Ryan goes straight for the water. It seems terrible that inmates don’t have decent drinking water. Sheri goes straight to the minibar for a beer. It seems terrible that inmates don’t have decent beer.

Ashleigh, who was transported in a different vehicle that the other two, opens her hotel room to find Zac and the baby sitting in it. And I start bawling. Er…. I mean Ashleigh. Ashleigh starts sobbing hysterically. Before she can get herself together from seeing her kid and the husband she is mad at and being in the world again, he starts showering her with gifts. A new purse. A handgun. A coffee mug. And a diamond ring. That guy must have done a lot of bad stuff while she was gone.

60 Days In Monalisa


Exit Interviews

The usual gang of three ask Monalisa about her first reaction to the prison. She said she was just really shocked about how dirty and nasty it was. She talks about there being a need for more supervision of the pods. She mentions people being misclassified (like Damaris).  Monalisa also says she doesn’t hate cops as much as she did before because she feels like the Captain and the Sheriff are serious about effecting change. She seemed surprised they met with her. Um, did they not explain the mission to this one?  Monalisa hugs both officers on her way out to peel her FuckDaPolice! sticker off her car.

Ryan meets with the gang of three. Ryan’s first feedback that we hear are about the walk-throughs.  They need to be more observant of the inmates. They are missing serious injuries. Drug distribution is not well-supervised to insure the inmates are taking their medications. Fights always happen in the bathroom. He tells them about the Kangaroo Court. Maples asked Ryan if jail changed him. He notices that Ryan’s way of speaking has changed to be a bit less, elitist. He says he had to dumb it down and that he feels dumber and is going to read everything that he can as soon as he can. Now that I think of it, I didn’t see a lot of books in there.

Sheri says right of the top, “Sheriff, you have a major drug problem in this jail. “She explains to them exactly how the drugs are getting in, and what the were, meth, methadone, and some other pills.  It looks like she has typed up a report. She says the shakedowns are an issue. They girls are told to get up and get dressed and they would be back to do a shakedown. She gives names of officers who whose performance she assessed to be sub par. She told them that the girls hid their drugs inside of tampon applicators and inside maxi pads. They then but everything back in the wrappers and the box and use toothpaste to seal it. They know that the male COs in particular are not going to open up a new box of feminine hygiene products.  It’s actually genius. This is the first time the cops have been taking copious notes during an exit interview.  Sheri even brought in sample tampons and maxi pads to show them how it is done. Sheri is just amazing.  I thought at any minute she would start a Powerpoint presentation. The officers seemed shocked. It may have been about all the drugs, or just the sheer depth and breadth of her findings.

60-days-in-ashleigh

 

Ashleigh points out that if an inmate who was once a trustee gets out and recidivates, then they are thrown back into the trustee pod. That is how drugs are getting in. Don’t they search them when they come back in? Ashleigh says that 18 of the 19 women in the pod were mothers. She said even with four years of sobriety, she was tempted to go straight to the bar when she was released. It was hard on her marriage and family.  Wow, there is no face to face visitation allowed at this facility.  She says that would go a long way in keeping the population more calm.

We get a lot of dramatic family reunions. Both Sheri and Ashleigh were very concerned that their young kids would not remember them. Dion and Sheri had a lot of nerves going home and reacclimating.  Ryan, is Ryan. He sort of sounds like he has been away on some sort of sixty day live action game.  He says he “won jail.” He says it wasn’t that bad. He thinks he could do 25 years and make money and move up in rank. I think it looked pretty bad for Justin, and all of the people found guilty in Kangaroo Court.

Quintin’s return to life seems to have had a few bumps on the way. He says the time in jail was something that he learned, something he saw, and he can’t unlearn it or unsee it. There will be a time when he doesn’t think about it all the time and that is when he will truly be free.

Ashleigh’s interview is very sad. Being away seems to have damaged her self-confidence. She doesn’t feel like she is good enough for Zac. She thought about leaving him while she was in jail. She doesn’t think she will ever measure up. I think a commenter here posted that Ashleigh and Zac just had another baby and are still together.

We see Monalisa talk to her daughter in prison on the phone. She apologizes for doubting her and accusing her. She tells us she realizes now that what her daughter needs is support and to know someone on the outside has her back.

The Sheriff meets with jail employees to tell them about the program. As soon as he tells them this the camera goes to who I think is Bazooka Betty, the guard that got a little nutty during the Shit Storm.  She begins gulping something from a solo cup.  Wait! What? Quintin is a bounty hunter? Wow.  It didn’t seem like the employees were very happy to hear that there were 16 undercovers among them.

Everyone talks about how the system is broken. It certainly seems to make everyone’s behavior worse.

Next week the reunion looks really interesting. The Captain and the Sheriff still have a lot of animosity toward Ryan. Something he was involved in apparently caused the real inmates to get additional charges.  Zac says that the majority of the issue in their marriage are Ashley’s.  Ashley continues to feel unworthy of Zac.  I can’t wait to see it and will have the recap up as soon as I can.

I really wish more of y’all were watching this show. It was very enlightening.

      I loved the talk Sheri gave to Ashleigh about not taking Zac’s crap. To me, Zac knows what buttons of Ashleigh’s to push. It may not be textbook abuse, but having survived that in my first marriage, it’s emotional abuse. I hope Sheri gives Zac an earful, then walks out with Ashleigh and her son until she can grow a backbone. and not give his words power over her.

    Both seasons were good though 2nd seemed better to me. At least it is reality TV with bit more purpose & goal. I wished we could have watched live if we wanted like with BB. They could have charged a fee with funds going to jail programs like a library. With Ricky while in the pod there is always the chance he could injury someone, most likely he does better there. Of course he would do better with meds but by himself 24/7 he is likely far worse. It can drive sane people crazy.

    Glad they made it thru intact & able to give good insight to the jail environment. I would be curious to see interviews with the staff even if they did it anonymously for their views of program. Next week will be interesting to see how their life has gone since being in jail now months later. Given Ashley background & guilt I can see why her self esteem suffers especially if she is not getting the support( & sleep) she needs. Allowing the mothers/fathers in jail better interaction with their kids might help provide the push to want to do better for themselves. If you have nothing to do 24/7, you will find something to occupy & numb your mind instead.

    What an amazing study in human behavior. I can’t imagine what or how I would change and adapt in that environment. I’m pretty sure I’d be someone’s bitch just to stay safe. The guards were as bad if not worse than the inmates. Dion, sweet Dion even lost his mind and poor Ashley! American judicial system needs a complete overhaul. If Teresa had a camp experience and people with real problems like drug abuse and mental health issues end up in Clark Cty, that’s majorly screwed up.

        I watched last night show & wasn’t impressed. It is similar to Cops though with some “live” footage & commentary but in 6 locations & 2 hr long. Couple of scenes were interesting like a couple pulled over in rental car with significant amount of hidden drugs. Something I might watch again only if bored or if nothing more exciting to watch.

        I remember Catherine Crierr talking about the SWAT guys from that show he was on (I really liked that show), well they were ambushed by a drug house that had cameras and saw them coming. I think like 5 to 7 were shot and really injured. They pulled the show. I never forgot that, I think it may have been on Court TV, and she hosted it. It’s been quite some time now.

        @Cheryl B. Wow ! I didn’t know that ! I always wondered why it was taken off the air because I thought it was a great show, and at the time, reality tv was in its infancy so it was sort of cutting edge for that time.

        I come from a family of LEO’s and always watch everything law enforcement related (Lockup RAW is one of my faves…esp when I can’t sleep lol). There were one or two other S.W.A.T. cities if I remember correctly. Dallas was the original and Rich E was one of the guys they showed quite a bit.

        He hasn’t changed all that much! Thanks for the info !

        I picked up on that comment too! And I think I learned this from Robert’s (season 1) latest youtube. (where he actually seems way more normal). When an inmate from out of state is released, they shut off the phone lines for a while. This is some kind of security so that inmates cannot alert people on the outside about internal jail movements. When , (again, I think it was Robert?), was released, inmates allegedly correctly guessed that he was a plant because they said, “the phones were not tuned off when he left.

        Whatever it was that I saw, it was before this episode, so when that comment was made I noticed. THANK-YOU for recapping! I had to change the channel at 10, for AHS and I missed the last half hour since it was an extended episode.

        I noticed that too. Was wondering if that was Stephanie’s way of trying to find out if Ashleigh or Sheri were plants too. Boy will they be surprised when this show airs. 🙂

        I think it was when Monalisa left and they accused her of being a plant that the thing with the phones being shut off when someone left the jail was brought up, because they didn’t shut them off when Monalisa left.

    This show has been an eye opener. The second season is better than the first. Sheri is my hero. I think she did an awesome job. Ryan thinking he could make a fortune as he rises to the top as an inmate makes me think he hasn’t found his way after leaving the military.

    Zach is a giant douchebag. I hope Ashleigh can find help to build her self esteem. No one deserves to be treated the way Zach does in public. The gifting was so off. A handgun and diamond ring, really? I hope Zach gets called out on the reunion for being such an asshole.

    What really bothers me is how brief the participants reports are to the power-three. I know these reviews are obviously heavily edited, but no one seems to complain about the medical issues that inmates faced, and the lack of caring by the COs. Also, the Sheriff and Maples seem to really get irritated and defensive at some of the things the participants expose. They’re always making excuses – like completely blowing off the sewer issue and no water for the inmates. It was inhumane and the COs were dicks, to say the least. Remember the one CO drinking water in front of the inmates while they were begging for water. How about all that Sheriff. How about some accountability instead of excuses. How about some real changes.

    TT, as always, your recaps are great! Seriously, you know how to get to the point quickly and do it with humor. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication.

    This season was so much better than the first. Kinda makes me wonder if the conditions get worse in waves? Or are they just different pods than the first season, because even Zac said he was surprised with what Ashleigh went through, the first season was not near as bad as this season?

    I felt so bad for Ashleigh – she not only had to deal with all that in jail and be away from her baby, but Zac was such a jerk when she was calling home. And then in next week’s show, if the teaser is accurate, Zac is saying the only person needing to fix their part of the relationship is Ashleigh (something like that). What an ass!

    Sheri did a fantastic job of investigating the drug issue and didn’t have a huge ego about being so much more brilliant than everyone else or try to become Pod Boss and brag about being able to rise to the top of the criminal enterprise system of the world in order to do it! Sorry, just a slight bit of passive aggressiveness toward Ryan there.

    I wonder about the long-term affects this whole thing will have on each of the participants. I sure hope they got paid a ton a money to endure those 60 days and the PTSD some of them have admitted to going through afterward.

    Maybe the 3rd season will be about all the changes the Sheriff makes after getting all the revelations from these 16 people. I know they got rid of several of the employees there, but a lot more needs to be done. At a minimum, the show should devote at least an hour’s show to it, .
    I would hate to think that they are just paying lip service to the participants.

    I’m sure they got paid a lot too. I immediately thought that Zac must have cashed Ashleigh’s check and then went shopping for her gifts with her money. If everyone remembers, Zac got fired because Ash accidentally discharged his firearm. He had been unable to get hired by law enforcement after that incident, hence he went into the 60 Day Program for the money and because he thought it would gel him get hired in the future. I am going to make a jump here and say that Ash went into the program to make money and make it up to Zac. Why else would a recovering addict leave her newborn, whom she was nursing, to go to jail for 60 days? I would’t be surprised if he guilted her into it and convinced her that she owed him. He was so insensitive to her during in her lockup. What a tool.

      I agree, in the elevator on the way to her room she basically said she was compartmentalizing the Zac situation until she gets through with her filming stuff.

      I believe Zac orchestrated all of that. I think he wanted to do some damage control with his image. All the guilt gifts were very transparent. That relationship scares me.

        Yes! I also have no doubt that he handed off the baby to her so he could get some free time since he’s had such a rough two months. Pfftt.

        I have enjoyed this season so much and really appreciate you recapping the episodes. My thoughts on Zach have been all over the place. I liked him in Season 1 and I am so disappointed with him this season. I could not stand how he was talking to his wife. The first time, I thought it was a one time thing. However, every time she talked with him, he was horrible. I too felt that she needed one night alone in the hotel room to decompress. Like you, the reunion scene brought tears to my eyes. However, as others have said, I was a bit confused with his choice of gifts. I thought it sweet that he gave her all of those gifts, however, the handgun really threw me for a curve.

          Yes! His reasoning that he trusted her, or however he phrased it, didn’t make sense. In her fragile state of mind that last thing she needed was a freaking handgun, even unloaded with the lock on! And I don’t care how badly those conversations were edited, or the reasoning behind it, if a man ever called me a cunt, let alone my husband, they would be out of my life indefinitely. They way she let it roll off her back tells me it wasn’t the first time he’s used that language.

    Yeah, that was weird. It’s all about Zac. During lockup I was really proud of Ashleigh and so impressed at her determination to stay sober. She should be so proud of herself. That was a really tough situation to be in and she needs to give herself more credit. She probably has a damaged self-esteem b/c her mother gave her up. I hope she gets some counseling to help her because she deserves better.

    I loved this show. I’m glad the 2nd half was that much better than the first because the other way around, it would have suuuuuucked.

    And why did Zac buy someone a gun who has already demonstrated that she cannot handle one properly?!?!?!

    I know Zack was acting like a jerk but Marines in general are not very good with showing emotion. Ashley probably wanted to do it because she felt guilty. I felt bad for Ashleigh but Zac was going through the whole tour of the first season. Zack did stay with her and never said anything bad about Ashleigh losing him his job. I think we should cut him a little slack. Probably will not be a popular opinion. But he really didn’t show much emotion in the first season until he saw Ashleigh.

      I don’t see Zac as not being emotional. It’s just that none of his emotions are nice. “Fuck you, you cunt!” sounded plenty emotional to me. Also every phone called he wanted to talk about himself instead of letting her vent the nightmare she was living.

        I remember hearing one of their first conversations, the one where he was in Vegas, and I went “oh shit, I was all wrong about him!” He had me totally fooled, and their convos just went from bad to worse. I don’t think she should have compared her time in jail to his tours of Iraq, but good god, he was a complete asshole to her. I can’t wait to hear his excuses next week. He is a slug.

        Seriously, when Zac said that I was completely floored! I was frightened just listening to him. It was so wrong and I felt so sad for Ashleigh. Since he is using the show as a visual resume, I highly doubt any potential employees would look kindly at his temperament and use of that vulgar language.

        Yeah TT, he was nothing to be proud of. Thursday’s phone call with him broke my heart for AShleigh. Can’t wait till he sees how much of a douche bag he is. May be the best thing for everyone. He sure can’t hide or justify his behavior. Can’t blame it on anything but himself!! I respect Ashleigh a whole lot more than Zac. Just my thoughts 🙂

        I just thinks he loves Ashleigh but has no clue how to deal with things outside his comfort zone. He did such a good job when he was in, he obviously couldn’t wrap his head around how hard it was for Ashleigh. Things seemed much worse in her pod. I think they will make it and hopefully this will open his eyes to what she went through and learns to listen better. Although I do agree if he called me the c word, he better sleep with one eye open.

    Zac is a very accomplished manipulator – hence his ease in fitting in in jail. He is one of those people who is the first to tell you how wonderful he is, and poor Ashleigh has to hear it every day of her life. For her to turn on the people she is working with and blame editing speaks volumes. He had no business buying gifts when they are both unemployed. My ex was a retired marine. He applies for upwards of 200 law enforcement positions and was unsuccessful. But in the meantime he was a garbage guy and supported his family. Zac is swanning around waiting for his dream career to fall in his lap when thousands of ex military go for these roles and most institutions want only 1 or 2 veterans at the most on staff. Any goodwill he generated among employers in season one has been dashed to pieces. It is pretty clear from Ashleigh’s social media she doesn’t have any friends outside of Zac and the babies. I hope the day comes that she sees through him and leaves – but I think that’s a long way off.

      Any chance he dropped off the baby with the in laws and was going to paid meet and greets in Vegas and other places? Hence his anger at his wife for questioning him? Yes he sounds manipulative, and he might just be looking for an entertainment type job. Of course his nice guy image is tarnished which is gonna make things harder on his wife, as he blames her and she blames herself.

    I started watching season 2 after reading season 1 recaps. Thanks for turning me on to the best show!

    Ryan wouldn’t be so confident had he been in a jail with more violent offenders, gang members, and a minority of white inmates. It was interesting how he could walk around and leave his commissary while Dion could not. Notice Dion even took his commissary with him to take a shit.

    Sheri was the best. Ashley wouldn’t have survived without her. Its interesting how Sheri was so friendly that I don’t think she will have to look over her shoulder as a snitch. The tampon display for the sheriff was everything. I hope she becomes a C.O. with her own show.

      I think Ryan had some violent guys with him. The broken knuckle beat down, the towel lashing, Ricky. Those were all pretty bad.

    I know I’m one of the few, but I love Ryan even more after this last episode. When he gave Justin the goods to get him out of debt I just whooped at the tv. Sure he’s very calculating, but he did what he had to do to get through his time in jail. He caused no drama, didn’t let people take advantage of him, and helped out people when they needed it. And look at the bad rap he got from the two chiefs! I think that the clip for next week wasn’t saying that he got people more charges, but that maybe he could have by covering up the broken knuckle situation or some of the other things he did, can’t think of any offhand right now. He is brilliant and besides Sheri was my favorite inmate this season.

    I have been in jail and I don’t know what is going on there, it seems like none of the inmates have money to purchase stuff. They all eat that jail house slop. Either everyone in there is poor . How can you live off that shit!! But these guys forcing people into cells so they can get assaulted is a crime and should be prosecuted.where are the c.o.’s during this stuff?? If we can see this imagine what has been swept under the carpet. And not going and getting bottled water for inmates when something like sewer and no water is going on. Just poorly run jail and these sheriff’s are clueless. They are not the right ones to turn that jail.

    This is one of my favorite shows on TV right now and S2 was definitely better than S1.

    I’m looking forward to the reunion – it should be very interesting to see the dynamics amongst the group afterwards and to hear Maples’ point of view on it all.

    Awesome recap of a great show TT!

      Season 2 was what I wish more reality shows are like. True crime is my thing cause it’s semi accurate and unbiased Dateline, 48 hours, ID Discovery channel), I really admire the wrong, and bad shown. I don’t know if it was the chosen participants, or ?. Really good show, gonna miss it.
