60 Days In: Don’t Swing First!

February 15, 2019 by tamaratattles 25 Comments

60 days In Jasmine
Jasmine

The undercover inmates are more than halfway through their stay on 60 Days In. Remember Steve, the super duper undercover private investigator who got yanked for being a security threat? Oh how we mocked him. Sure he deserved it. But, he found out more about how drugs get into the jail than all of the remaining fools combined. Abner and David seem to be preparing to actually join a gang upon release. Brooke, Vivian and Jazmyn have been such an unlikely trio of friends that the DOs made them within the first couple of weeks. Only Mark seems to be giving it the good old college try, and has enlisted Jesus to take the wheel.  I’m not counting Jesus out, but Jesus has been known to take longer than 60 days to respond to prayer. I’m just saying. And sometimes the answer is, “Boy? Who told you to go to jail?”

F300 (Jazmyn, Brooke, Vivian)

Sheriff Mark Lamb speaks to his deputies about the hot mess that is happening in F300. It is pretty obvious that the DOs know that all three girls are undercover. 

60 days in Brooke in Jail
Brooke

Jazmyn

At least Jazmyn knows time is running out. I think her assignment might be gangs. I don’t hear a lot about gangs in the women’s pod. This means Jazmyn has plenty of time to pay spades. If the girls had gangs they could roll out Jasmine,

Brooke

Brooke says it is difficult to complete her tasks since the guards are on to her. Gee, you think?

60 days in VivianVivian

As far as the running of the jail goes, Vivian has discovered that the guards don’t pass out toilet paper on the weekly schedule they are supposed to. Well, that’s something I guess. It looks like they get one roll per week. I still have residual guilt liberally using toilet paper remembering my mother’s “four square” rule. One roll a week might be even more oppressive. Let’s just say women need lots of toilet paper. This issue may be the cause of people shitting in the shower and shit being literally all over the rails of the pod. Everyone blames Jasmine for crapping everywhere.

Soon, Brooke has another one of her brilliant ideas. She suggests Jazmyn provoke Jasmine into hitting her. Then,at meal time Jasmine starts going off about a piece of cake. Suddenly,she is threatening to fight people. She’s trash talking way to much. It will be simple for Jazmyn to get her to swing on her. Vivian can’t hear her shows because of Jasmine’s jawboning. So,

she starts yelling at Jasmine to shut it Vivian is ready to punch her. She is furious that the guards came and didn’t so a thing about Jasmine.

FIGHT!

Later, There is another toilet paper delivery. This time no one gets their own roll. Apparently, this delivery is just to hold them over until tomorrow. Somehow, Jasmine has taken on the role of toilet paper dispenser and is rolling off paper to distribute. Someone else asks why she didn’t get to pass out the paper this time? This reminds me of first graders whose entire world revolves around who gets to sharpen all the pencils. In fact, sharpening pencils is way more fun than passing out toilet paper. Jasmine declares herself “honorary DO.” Or as the other inmates call her, “a snitch.” As the arguments over the toilet paper escalate, Jasmine decides to keep the remainder of the toilet paper for herself.

The DOs decide to put everyone on lockdown. One of the inmates, Amber, is not having it. If they are going to go on lockdown, she’s going to provide a reason. Vivian does nothing to defuse the situation. She ties her hair up. Then, she climbs the stairs to confront Jasmine. A slap fight begins. It’s very girly. Jasmine needs to go up there and cunt punt a bitch at this point. But, she went into lockdown like the rest of the undercovers. Amber and Jasmine are led out in handuffs. A celebration ensues. According to the rules, will go to the hole and will not return to the same pod. Only, guess who is back before they are even out of lockdown? The “honorary DO”, Jasmine.

Repercussions

Later that night, while everyone is still on lockdown, a guard comes into Vivian’s room. This is not good. The guards said they reviewed the tape and saw Vivian was the last person to talk to Amber. She was point upstairs and then Amber went up and “kicked somebody’s ass.” No asses were kicked. It was a hair-pulling slap fight. Still, Vivian could get punished for instigating a fight. To be continued….

 

H200  ( Mark, David)

Mark

The new and improved Mark is not just my favorite because we chat on Twitter sometimes. He is the underdog story of the season. He decided last episode to get a bit more mouthy with the DOs. Jail is us versus them and as a former correction officer he realized he needed to secure his spot with “US.”  Since then things seemed to have eased up on him a bit.

It the most bizarre twist in 60 Days In history, the leader of the WOODS, tells Josh that he is about to get released and he wants Mark to be one of three leaders of the whites. Josh says that everyone likes Mark, so he can be the voice to talk to the people. I am shooketh. His first job is to be in charge of the new guys and make sure they follow all of Josh’s rules for cleanliness. These rules exceed the rules of cleanliness for Chez Tamara. I should probably feel some kinda way about that.

Mark lets us know that he can’t stand Josh and he is only taking on the role for the sake of his mission. Imagine that! Someone is focused on the mission!

 

David

David

Since David came in swinging and aspiring to the high honor of leading the Kinfolks. He seems really butthurt that Mark of all people has been given status with the WOODS simply by being a nice guy. He mocks Mark’s new role in confessional.

David gets a hard on because people knock before coming into his cell. He admits he is one of them now. Remember in the Indiana season when Ryan went full on inmate and Sheriff Maples had to come give him a serious talking to? This seems to happen a lot around this point in the program.

FIGHT! 

While David is on the phone a fight breaks out between two Kinfolk over the volume of the TV. Rocker can’t hear it and WIllie doesn’t want it so loud. Sometimes that is all it takes in jail. Later, Willie tapes up his knuckles to prepare to fight Rocker. Then, David tries to mediate the situation between them. Eventually, a guard comes in and tells Willie he needs to take the tape off his hands. Willie ignores him and he leaves David in charge of handling the situation. What is it that these guards to exactly? The inmates completely run this place. What are the guards even there for?

David does somehow talk these two out of fighting. Basically by crying. Whatever works. Next week, David declares that Abner is his boy. Does that mean Abner gets moved to H200?

60 Days In Abner
Abner

H100  (Steve, Abner)

Abner says he has all of the politics figured out. I looked back to the first recap and it says that the three investigations are drugs, gangs, and jail administration.  So, I presume he must have been assigned to the gangs? I mean, we knew going in that the men were separated by race and that the gangs run to jail. What new information does he have?

This episode he suddenly wants to mentor the new young bucks coming into the jail. But really what he does is act as the sorting hat on Harry Potter and make sure the darker (not really) skinned kid knows he is black. The new kid, we are calling IKEA, is mixed (and pretty) and doesn’t seem to want to claim the Kinfolks as his sole race just because Abner has decided he looks black. He’s not down with all the racial division and this pisses Abner off. Abner tried to explain he has to pick a team and now none of the gangs see him as loyal.

"60

FIGHT!

IKEA starts hanging out with the WOODS. This pisses Abner off. Then one of the WOODS comes to talk to Abner saying that one of the Chicanos stole IKEA’s coffee. Abner is personally affronted that one of the WOODS is even approaching him. Then, he goes looking for IKEA. He brings him into the room with a bunch of angry Chicanos. IKEA denies saying anyone stole his coffee. IKEA tries to walk out and tells Abner to shut the fuck up. Then, it’s ON. Abner grabs cute little IKEA and starts tossing him like a ragdoll. So much for mentoring the new guys, Abner. Abner punches IKEA in the face. Dude, not the face! Abner makes him pick a race, and the choice just got much easier. IKEA is a Kinfolk.

That decision had bad consequences though as Abner tells the guys to “flash him the fuck up, no face, body.” I mean at least there is that bit of kindness. It’s a great face. The guys proceed to punch the fuck out of the kid. I don’t get it. After the beatdown Abner is proud of himself. He thinks he is a great father figure to IKEA. Whatever. But the most confusing part is he seemed to imply that IKEA is a Chicano now. Did I interpret that wrong?

    I’m about to watch this show now. I spent today on Twitter reading about loco lolo and THE GREAT TOM GREEN! Man I like that dude. Abner really pisses me off. I don’t believe his previous job no matter what he says. A religious man would not smacked a new kid around for no one. No matter how much you want to complete your mission, you don’t cross that line. I hope he gets charged for that.

      I think Abner has been waiting for his opportunity to be his true self, and purpose of being a man in charge, to feel he’s pure badass. Can debate if the true self is desired to be a”somebody” good or bad. (I believe it begins with how he was raised, and what he considers to be important in life.)
      He had the desire in his blood, and was so fast claiming the rank of second in charge, personally I don’t think he would have begun a gang prayer group.

    Abner’s a dick! I hope the inmates find out about his undercover mission after any new charges are added so he can be ROLLED OUT straight to solitary confinement ! David, aka PRINCE,.is another one that lost his mind. I can’t even with the females. Wow!

    Love your incredibly accurate recap TT ♡♡ Abner lost all my respect after he hit that young kid. How the hell is he a chaplain??? And David is going to go too far and prob get rolled out next episode with saying Abner is his boy…Why cant this seasons cast stay away from each other in the pods?!?! They are all up on each other every damn episode! I was so hoping Amber was going to toss Jasmine down the staircase for pooping in the shower! She is disgusting and a fake ass bully.
    That guard is gunning for Vivian…?

    This season feels so different from prior ones….people noted about Abner’s thug life, the girls grouping together…it’s very odd! I think because this jail is not as violent as the previous ones? Maybe because the inmates keep the peace with their racial lines and jail justice credo?

    I am waiting for SOMETHING to happen!

    Mark—I thought he was naive for waiting to be the 60DI Hero….now, I think he just might! Love that a mild mannered guy might ‘win’ the season!

    The big difference this season is the Undercovers knowing who all the participants were at the get go. I think this gave them some ease and probably piece of mind (especially with the females) that “back up” was very near. Previous seasons were much better when that info was kept from the participants.

      You are exactly right. In the beginning I thought it might be a good thing for them to know the other participants but in the case of the women, in particular we can see it was a very, very bad idea. Particularly because the cameras were only set for one female pod.

      With the 3 (sort of 4) guys spread out with only David and Mark knowing each other, it wasn’t as big of a deal. Particularly with the mandatory racial divides.

      Sadly, this week we also got to see what happens if someone comes in and points out that the racial divide is ridiculous .

    Anber sickened me this episode. You are damn near 55 fighting a 20 year old who simply stated and pointed out the obvious to you about the racial divide. Which I may add is something Abner already knows. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. David and Abner worry me greatly, there is such a thing as being in too deep.

    David and Abner are on power trips. They need therapists to help them transition back to their lives outside of this experiment. They should both be pulled just like the dude that threatened to expose the program.

    At this point, participants are coming off as acting for the cameras and trying to make good television.

    Abner should be charged with assault. Notice he didn’t touch the guy who he wanted to roll out for theft. The guy even told him to his face he wasn’t going anywhere. Abner didn’t touch him at all…he did a coward “slit” throat gesture. Some how it’s appropriate for him to square up with a young guy that’s 120lbs soaking wet? Abner’s a coward and a bully. If this show is real I hope he’s charged and the inmates find out he’s a snitch.

      Prisoner fight all the time and don’t get new charges. SOMETIMES they get the hole. In this jail in particular the top guys of the gangs seem to be running the prison and have carte blance with the DOs. It’s insane, but true.

        If Abner doesn’t get charged, he’s gonna walk out like the top shit of the group. I hope the Sheriff will say or do something during the exit interview. I enjoyed previous seasons, but this year sucked. My only reason to see this through is to watch Mark complete his mission. Maybe David and Abner can learn something from him.

        Prisoners DO get additional charges all the time for assulting another inmate. Most of the time the CO’s will give the one assaulted the option of pressing charges. If they decline it just goes down as a fight and everyone goes the hole for 30, 60, or 90 days depending on how serious the fight. If the fight caught on camera like in this episode…..not up to the inmate at that point. The staff will hand it over to the local DA and they will press assault charge. Abner should catch a charge.

    60 days in participants Abner cross the line
    60 days in the TV show and the jail should be sued w and assault and battery charges should be filed against Abnar( the least they can do).
    6 days in arm violation bye painted participant coming to the jail commit crimes by trying to start several race Wars, trying to get an inmate beat up before he was rolled out.
    Abnar punch Ikaika in the face and told another inmate to beat him up oh, yes 60 days in and the jail did not have.
    60 days in responsible for putting Abner in the Pod make the responsible for the assault and the battery.

    Jazmyn is so extra, it’s hilarious watching her in back to back episodes.
    I hold her responsible for her dramatic meal eating, and giving up her participation.
    She’s not even a good pretend convict. She’s too afraid of EVERYTHING to ever get in trouble, lol.

    I am just catching up after being away last week. (sunny Florida how I miss you already!). Abner and David could end up in jail for real after this season! I dont think I have seen anything like it in any season. This season is so different than the last ones. Especially in the women’s pod. Is it because Those three are so tight we dont get to see what else is going on, or is it because we are not in the dorm situation. The only antagonist is Jasmine, but anyone could see that. The three women are so far “above-cover” that they are getting literally nothing.

    I’m just binge watching this season and I’m at ep 10. I’d actually forgotten about Steve, and the last I remember of him is him threatening to jump up on the table, so I’m glad of the reminder I got by reading this. But I can’t understand how I haven’t seen what became of him and wonder what episode I missed.
    OMG David Prince tho? What an embarrassing player he was.

    What’s wrong with just calling him Ikaika? Is it really that difficult for you non-colored folk? And Abner knew exactly how to handle it. If you ain’t grew up in the hood or been to prison, you might as well be looking at a dystopian society.

      Hard for us non colored folk? But you’re the one talking about how it’s okay for Abner to incite racial tensions where there were none, you even had the two white dudes about to fuck abner up along with the kinfolk cuz they knew he was wrong for that

    I feel like Abner was not really trying to force Ikaika to choose to be kinfolk. He was trying to tell him that he might not be racially divided but jail is and he has to choose or he would have been hurt. AB did loose himself and he couldn’t really be his chaplain self because those type of people get stepped on in jail. AB was only trying to help Ikaika in case he would go to the yard.
