This is one of my favorite shows to watch, and I wish more of you were watching it with me. I appreciate those of you who chat with me in the comments. It you would like to start watching with us, you can get caught up here. I am excited to see if Steve blows his cover tonight.
F300 (Jazmyn, Brooke, Vivian)
Jazmyn refuses to admit she is not following her training and it was no accident that the three girls started eating together. Jazmyn finally starts to mingle to figure out the gang situation in the women’s pod. Brooke thinks Jazmyn is fitting in too well. As opposed to Brooke who no one ever talks to.
Jazmyn finds out someone stole the PIN to her phone card and stole five dollars from her account and she loses her damn mind. She thinks she is going to shout at and threaten the whole pod and the thief is just gonna confess. Nope. She says, “Y’all thought I was nice, but I’m the most fucked up one in this bitch!” And scene…
Vivian seems way to happy to be in jail if you ask me. Her demeanor is more like someone at girls’ night out rather than someone who just got arrested and strip searched. She is the popular girl in school that everyone wants to sit with and it is killing Brooke.

Brooke is irritated that she is not the pretty one. She refers to herself as this pretty Barbie who doesn’t fit in. She had that attitude from the second she walked in and everyone in the pod took an immediate dislike to her. Brooke bought a lot of commissary and randomly gave Jazmyn chips. These girls are idiots. Brooke starts trading four candy bars for half a sandwich she will not eat with the biggest druggie in the pod. Did they not teach them anything before they went in? Did they not give them a test to see if they were paying attention? This dumb bitch is going to get herself killed. Jazmyn and Vivian both tell her loudly and publicly in front of the pod not to give that girl anything. She does not listen.
Vivian and Jazmyn are riding hard on the druggie, Kristen, to make sure she doesn’t rip of Brooke and she pays her back her snacks. Why? Why would two random girls be all ride or die for some dumb Barbie looking bitch that is doing stupid shit? These three are all going to blow their covers. We may not have any plants left in the jail in 60 days at this point. They are all dumb as hell. Jazmyn and Vivian convince the whole pod not to trade with Kristin ever again. Brooke is pissed because she wanted to befriend the druggie to find out how the drugs are coming in. I get that… but you don’t do it by giving her ten dollars worth of commissary with no insurance policy. It’s dumb.
H100 (
Steve, Abner)
Steve has just gotten off the phone after threatening producers that he will blow up his cover if someone doesn’t get him out of there soon. He ignored the first producers when they came in to remove him and now he has all eyes on him because they literally had to send in someone with a note and a phone number to tell him to calm his dumb ass down. He’s a loose Canon and Sheriff Lamb needs to send his ass home. That is exactly what the Sheriff does. He doesn’t even give him an exit interview. Yes!
When to corrections officer goes in to get his stuff, the rest of the pod decides Steve was a cop. The officers who know who the plants are assess their progress so far. They are worried about the females because they are hanging around each other and that will draw attention to them. They are worried about Mark, because… well, Mark. They think David is doing well and Abner is as well but they worry that Abner may revert to his inmate mindset.
Last week I was not sure what pod Abner was in but apparently he was in H100 with Steve. A new white guy has rolled into the pod and the word is he was rolled out of another unit for being a snitch. Apparently the head of any of the three races can tell the jail that one of their own needs to be relocated and the guards make that happen. It’s probably for the safety of the ostracized prisoner. Abner decides to tell his crew that the new guy has been rolled out of two pods for being a rat and he needs to be rolled out again.

Oney the head of the whites in H100 refused to roll out the new guy because he has no proof that the guy is a snitch. So now the Chicanos and the Whites are going to have a race war. The Chicano gather up the Paisas a Mexican crew to prepare for battle. The Kinfolk are going to come for the WOODS too. All of this is happening at Abner’s behest.
Abner pulls Oney, the pod boss for the WOODS aside and tell him that he needs to roll the new white boy out or there is about to be a racial issue. When Abner applies pressure, Oney gets pissed and tells Abner he doesn’t even know who he is coming at him like this. Abner realizes he might have overstepped so he goes to Oney and introduces himself and shakes his hand and tells him he didn’t mean to overstep. Oney tells Abner he will check out the new guy and make a decision. He finds out that he was not rat; however, he let another race push him around and he didn’t fight back so he still has to go. Where is this white boy supposed to go? This is his third pod. And where is the head of the Cholos for this pod? It looks like Abner is doing his job for him. How does this happen? Abner is feeling himself now and he plans to take down Oney and put the Cholos above the WOODS in this pod. That will not happen without a major race war. How is this helping Abner’s mission? Is Abner already going full inmate?
H200 ( Mark, David)
David is trying to keep the pod boss, Rocker in check. Rocker already views him as a leader. Josh, the moronic leader of the WOODS approaches David to get him to have the Kinfolk keep their cells clean. I feel like he goes to David because he is afraid of Rocker. So David goes to Rocker with the news. Rocker listens to David and calls a meeting and tells everyone they have to keep the rooms clean. David jumps in to tell them they need to shower every day and brush their teeth. It’s amazing how much power David has in such a short amount of time.
Later, Rocker just blurts out to David, “My connections for pills is an ex-DEA agent.” Apparently he got fired from the DEA for stealing cash. Rocker goes on and on about the huge amount of pills he has access to via this guy. He’s the only one the DEA agent deals with. David doesn’t think Rocker does drugs and that he is just the middleman. But Rocker can’t ever seem to keep his leg still. David then says every single person in there does drugs. David gets really cocky and declares he’s the coldest motherfucker to ever do this show. He knows everything. Oh here we go with another know-it-all.
Mark is getting a pretty harsh edit. They are just waiting for him to fuck up. Why don’t they wait until he does to be so critical? Josh the leader of the WOODS calls a meeting of the whites. Josh has 34 violent felony charges. Josh yells at everyone to have a cleaning schedule in their dorms. It’s the whites TV day and Josh is encouraging people to tell him what channel they want the TV on. Mark just wants to read his book. I feel like Mark might be good at this because everyone underestimates him, he seems to be laying low and staying out of trouble and just observing and wandering around aimlessly.
I spoke too soon. Mark asks the guards to put a TV on ESPN because it is March Madness. For some reason Rocker, the black pod boss has his own TV all day every day. The other TV is the shared TV. Mark had the TV changed to sports and then went back to reading the Bible. Now everyone is pissed at him because he changed the channel and is not even watcing TV. Rocker had the shared TV changed back. Mark went to Josh to demand the Whites get their way, but Josh apparently unwilling to stand up to Rocker. Now Mark is pissed at Josh and thinks he is weak. Everyone is now pissed off at Mark.
Next week: David is drunk with power and screams at the whole pod that if they are not a boss or second in command he doesn’t want them approaching him. Oh, Lawd. In the girls’ pod Jazmyn decides she knows who stole her PIN and is going to take action. Mark tries to start a Bible study “to gain the prisoners trust.” Someone in the Cholo pod stole four dollars so Abner is going to hold an investigation and trial.
LOVE this show !! I love how Brooke looks at Natalie like “…but I’m supposed to be the pretty one !!!!” LOL
Brooke looks like a crazy lady! Lol! It seems that in past seasons the inmates were scarier!
I’m watching and have been a fan since S1. I always read your recap first!
The girls are being super dumb! Do you think how you’d be if you were a participant? I’m starting to…you have to be smart in this game for sure!
I would definitely lay low (unlike David, Abner and the girls) and just listen as much as I could. My husband actually just turned down a job in corrections 2 weeks ago. I was prepared for him to take it but them being short staffed meant lots of extra 8 hour shifts and that I was not ok with since it meant little time together with him.
I thought Vivian was going to kill it but I was sadly mistaken and that goes for Jazmyn as well. Brooke for whatever reason thought she would walk in and all the girls would be buzzing because she’s a “Barbie” and it kills her that Vivian is the stunner. David is going to be a problem, something tells me he’s the one who ends up putting everyone in danger but I have the same feeling about Abner. It’s scary at how good they are at being incarcarated. Steve was a waste of time.
I was on the floor when they played David’s segment about everyone doing drugs. It was hilarious but also really sad. I lost my momd when Mark was in attendance at the Whites meeting and the Daddy and the dick sucking was part of the conversation. His wtf cry for help to the camera was brilliant. I cannot wait for the next episode. This show needs to never end.
I dont know what it i about this seasons inmates, but theyre ALL on some craziness! Theyre ALL acting like they run the pods and they just got there.. Im here for it!
This is quickly becoming my must see TV! Appreciate the recap TT.
I love love love this show!!! I have watched since S1!
What a bunch of crazies this time around! The participants must not have been listening! They were told very specifically what to do and they are doing the opposite from day 1.
I hope Mark doesn’t get hurt!!
Love the recaps!!
TT- Great recap! Maybe they can create a new show- Love After 60 Days In. I guess I grew up sheltered because I never realized this kind of bizarre crazy existed. I am shocked, fascinated, horrified and entertained after each show.
my husband taught college courses in state prisons for years. He contends that are criminals mind works entirely differently than a street person. As an example he was once teaching about synonyms and antonyms. He asked the class to name the antonym for buy.
Not one inmate answered ‘sell’. According to his group of eager linguists, the opposite of buy is steal.
That should say straight person not street person. Yeesh
This season is NUTS! I fucking love it!! Sure other seasons were fabulous as well, but we didn’t get to a lot of the juicy details until near the end. These participants hit the ground running!
Funny that David thinks he’s the best participant ever. Uh, no. That title goes to the hot military guy who was asked to stay for another 60 days.
Abner is a beast!! He’s been there for like two days and he’s the pod boss?! His presence is straight up gangsta and he excels at it.
Girls girls girls……..sigh.
Love your recaps TT, this and Below Deck are my favorite shows on right now. Eagerly anticipating BH and NYC housewives.
Ahh Nate. He was my favorite!
Loved Nate. But wasn’t there a military vet the first season who stayed longer too? He was also really good. Then his girlfriend/fiancée/wife went in the next season.
Yes! The first military guy ended up being a dick if I remember. He bought his wife a gun for her “present” for making it to the end. He was really controlling of her and their arguments on the phone were disgusting. I would have divorced my hubby in a nanosecond if he ever talked to me the way he talked to her. Sick.
You’re going to call ME a dumb bitch, but let me ask you this- WHO THE FUCK IS NATALIE?? You’re too goddamn stupid to remember the correct names of the participants even though you’re a self-proclaimed fan of the show!
By the way, that crackhead Kristen ALWAYS paid me back.
-Brooke
Ah…. Brooke is here and she’s not happy with me. lol.
I’m not sure how to spell what just came out of me, smirk/snort/giggle, close but not exact
so awesome
I can’t help it if Vivian’s mom named her wrong. She looks like a Natalie. I fixed it for you. You’re welcome.
I’m so glad your commissary trades worked out so well. Wasn’t it day one training not to trade commissary? I think you might have been busy posing for the cameras in your little black dress that day.
Gurl going to prom
I agree, she does look like a Natalie 🙂
Right? And I always call Kate’s bestie on Below Deck Allistair. I have to look at my tags to determine his real name. Sometimes multiple times in the same recap. His mother named him wrong too. 🙂
PS I didn’t even know Allistair was a name before I started calling him that. No idea where it came from. My brain has a mind of its own.
Allistair is an old fashioned name. Think, Allistair Sim from A Christmas Carol.
I love 60 days and I’ve been waiting for a recap since Friday morning. Glad I found yours. It seems to me abner and the cop are more interested in power/ego then in doing the tasks they signed up to do.
I used commissary to gain the trust of the junkies so they would tell me how the drugs were getting into the jail. ?
I think you should be supported for volunteering in the first place. How you chose to strategize is something only you can figure out in the heat of the moment. But…… gotta LOVE the fan and critique interaction..
You are my favorite!
Gurl your priorities are all fucked up. Out of all that, your issue is with a name. We watched the show, that crackhead played you like a fiddle.
I was cheering when they led Steve’s dumb ass right out the door! He has got to be one the biggest morons ever in this program.
These girls are making so many mistakes and Jazmyn has got to be kidding with the “I’ll fight everyone in here” crap. Girl take several seats. Quickly before you get hurt.
David has lost his mind.
Steve: I know where the drugs are. I know everything…dumb ass. I thought those phones were monitored?
I’m guessing that David blows the cover unless it’s Jazmyn. I don’t know why Vivian and Jazmyn inserted themselves in other peoples business so quick out of the gate. Jazmyn is far too animated for me. So yeah, Jaz will blow cover. Go Abner!
This seasons participants are hands down the worst ever! The cop and Hispanic guy might stand a chance of actually helping the sheriff, with a bit of luck, but the rest, what a complete waste.
But it makes for darn good television! Lol!
Love this show, have been watching since season 2, on your recommendation. I love seeing where people fit in the system, once they get in, there are outcasts, leaders who overdo it, people who get too involved and forget their mission, targets, and Nate, who I almost hope is still floating around prisons somewhere, doing good things.
I am hoping Mark and “Natalie” are sleepers and will show some more strength as the show progresses.
Bye Steve, may see you again next season when you show up as an inmate.
Thank you for acknowledging the name God intended for Natalie, 🙂 /I wish I had emojis. lol
Ughhhh,Steve was so ridiculous. I’m glad they got rid of him. I thought it was pretty hilarious and also derpy that he couldn’t understand why they sent him home lol wtf dude,you threatened to expose the entire program whilst you kept ignoring their help SMH Abner is awesome &Marks WTF was ace . David is kind of annoying maybe Idk for certain yet.
✓ Steve was so stupid. What a dumbass. I guess he doesn’t even get to share with Sheriff Lamb (aka Sheriff Hottie) everything he learned. Remember he said he already had learned everything he needed to. Cuz he’s so brilliant, ya know.
✓I’m hoping Mark is going to surprise everyone and be the real shining star
& the one that does their mission the best. There’s something really endearing about him.
✓ Brooke went in way too cocky and way too judgmental.Bitchy big-headed Brooke.
✓ Hot cop David is going to be excellent TV. When he first went in I thought he’d do great because he was strong and confident and new both sides of the law / criminal. But I guess he’s nuts.
✓ I love love love Abner. He is a straight-up beast, he went in there and took control and it’s also great TV. It’s shocking how quickly his brain went from minister to straight up criminal. He reverted back in less than an hour, amazing.
✓Hot military guy should be on every single season.
I feel like Mark is going to survive the whole show. He just needs to find his way.
The girls are dumb. The whole scene about not letting the drug addict trade for stuff was a total red flag for me. If I noticed that they were going so hard for Brooke, so did the inmates. The question then becomes why. Not a good deal.
Abner and David are both good at playing the game but they seem to be a little drunk with power. At least Abner kinda sees the errors he makes. David is just relishing in his amazing ness. He is going to overstep real soon.
Steve….BYE! His exit interview reeked of entitlement. Go back to your psycho Home with your armed perimeter. He reminds me of David from TM2!!!
Not loving this year season of as yet. I’m going to give it a couple of more episodes. Kinda dull.
If by dull you mean they are all gonna die, then yeah.
It’s such a great show. I am loving the cast. I especially loved that Steve didn’t even get to do the exit interview. He could barely make it a day.
David has got to stop scratching. Especially his head.
Steve, what can can I say? Why did he have to tell the Sheriff about the drugs right away? Has he never seen this show – where they’re debriefed at the end? What a dolt .
