When I get ready to recap 60 Days In and other shows I go into the admin forum and pull up all the episodes to grab the tags to paste into the new recap. Because I can’t remember anything, I’m always surprised by the number of comments. Or in the case of 60 Days In the lack thereof. I’m used to shows that aren’t on Bravo being ignored, but this show used to do fairly well with reader engagement. Then I remembered, with the except of Mark, possibly Vivivan, we have a series of fame whores who just want to be on TV. It seems like you guys are tuning out for that.
At any rate, I have to see how it all turns out, so I shall soldier on until the end. I feel like most of you will return for the reunion which will probably be epic. Especially if David is there. I bet he pussies out.
F300 (Brooke, Vivian, Jazmyn)
The ladies of F300 have been made as plants by their guards so they are getting lots of shakedowns. They even brought in dogs to search them and freak them out. They’ve also taken their linens and limited their ability to get toilet paper. They also sent Jasmine back into the pod instead of sending her to the hole like they normally would. So tensions are super high with the women.
During the middle of the night, the guards came in and questioned Vivian about the Jasmine fight. They were trying to say she masterminded the fight. The next morning, Vivian goes running to Jazmyn to tell her about the encounter.
A guard calls Vivian over they put her on lockdown. It seems like it was for talking to Jazmyn about the late night interrogation. Meanwhile, Jasmine just laughs and laughs with no consequences. When Vivian gets out of lockdown, Jasmine is using someone’s stolen PIN. She and Jazmyn are pissed.
Oh Girl Has Grown Up!
Jazmyn is itching to punch Jasmine. However, she is terrified of the hole. I don’t think she will be able to control herself much longer. She may blow her cover if they try to take her to the hole. It’s not like they don’t already know.
At the end of a brief lockdown, Jasmine and Nana get into a verbal altercation over Jasmine stealing her PIN. Apparently, some guard actually gave Jasmine a ticket for stealing. So Jasmine is gloating that she got a ticket with no consequences. Even Vivian wants to punch Jasmine in the face. Jazmyn goes to tell her what a low down dirty dog she is. The guards open the door to break things up. They call Jazmyn out of the pod. Apparently, they asked her what was going on and she told them. They pulled out Jasmine and moved her to another pod.
H100 Abner
Yesterday, Abner punched the new kid Ikaika, Then he had his guys beat the crap out of him. It’s the next day and in his confessional, Abner seems to be almost bragging about it. Production comes in to pull him for an interview. In this one, he cries and says Ikaika reminds him of himself 25 years ago. He seems to be having a breakdown. Is he realizing he’s lost touch with why he is there? That’s hard to say.
Abner starts talking about “his friend” who was a former Latin King (I first typed Lion King.It’s been a rough day.) He says the guy waits outside the jail and picks guys up and takes them to church and then takes them to a halfway house. That guy is Abner. He seems to be getting back on track after taking things way too far last week.
H200 (Mark, David)
David is also having some sort of change in attitude. He feels like he has completed his mission. He seems ready to leave. In the meantime, he wants to talk to whoever he wants to and not be restricted by the racial segregation. What a novel concept. We have a kid over in H100 getting his ass beat for that sort of thinking. David is going to get some white boy named Dillon’s ass whooped. He’s telling him if he wants to be black, be black. He’s doing a reverse Mean Girls on the kid encouraging him to sit with them at lunch. This will not end well.
At lunch, Dillon sits with Rocker and David. This would be great if there were not two undercovers in the pod who are now in danger. Mark is probably going to have to say something to Dillon. And he does but he doesn’t make a big deal out of it. He basically warns him that when he gets to prison, Josh is going to make sure the white inmates know he is a traitor to his race. Did you forget you are on 60 Days In David?
David Starts A Race War
Dillion tells Rocker. Rocker calls David in. We get a shot of David in confessional. It burns him up that Mark is in a leadership role with the whites. What did he do to earn that? David wants to know! Apparently, David thinks the only way to gain authority is to beat your chest and declare yourself the Messiah like he did. Dillon tells Rocker and David he doesn’t want to run with the whites when he gets to prison. Dillon is clearly an idiot who is headed to several ass beatings. I imagine he will get one, well before he gets to prison for the really fun times ahead of him.
Rocker wants to bring Josh in. David tells Josh that Dillon is “more black than white, technically.” David starts going off on some kind of “We Are The World” moment. That’s all fine and dandy out in the world. But David is setting this Dillon kid up for a really hard life. In confessional, David, who is suddenly and expert now in prison life, says no one is going to kill Dillon. Seriously, did you forget that you are on 60 Days in David?
Meanwhile, most of this jail is ready to go after Dillon because he is a race traitor. The Chicanos would join in with the whites to beat his ass. Did I mention this is all David’s fault?
Why Just Fuck Up One Pod When You Can Fuck Up Two?
Just when you think things could not get any worse, B-Shaw who was rolled out of H-100 by Abner is not talking about that situation with David. Dumbass David tells B-Shaw that Abner is his boy. This of course puts both David and Abner at risk David is having a banner day. Now he is compromising people in a whole other pod. He’s a genius this one. When the producers point out that this puts both him and Abner in danger. He reminds her that he is running the jail and no one is going to question anything he says. The stupid is strong in this one.
B-Shaw apparently, asked to roll out. I’m not so sure how many places or left for him to roll to, but they let him move. The guard starts talking to David. He says this has been a really weird day. Between the white kid deciding to be black and B-Shaw’s sudden decision to roll out it’s been crazy. He seems to be telling David he has never had any trouble out of this pod until he showed up. David really likes this guard and I feel like he is about to tell him he is a cop. He is dying to tell him all the cop things he does and how important he is. Girl, please. Learn when to shut your mouth.
David Tries To Impress The Guard By Telling Him He’s An Undercover Cop!
As soon as David leaves the pod to talk privately with the guard, Mark knows that something is really wrong. David doesn’t return for thirty minutes. Producer pull David for filming. David is flexing and hamming it up for the cameras the whole way to the production room. He’s in a great mood. He just got finished telling a prison guard what a super-duper great undercover cop he is! David lies and says he and the guard were just shooting the shit about the events of his workday. Did he really think that was going to make sense? Guards just kiki-ing with an inmate about his stressful workday? Did he blow Abner’s cover too? What about Mark?
Next week: B-shaw goes back to H100 and tells Abner that David told him they were friends. Abner is furious. In an interview he asks “Is he fucking stupid?” Why yes, yes Abner, he is really, really fucking stupid. Thanks for asking. Also, you may need to tap the fuck out of there. Also, over in the female pod, one of the inmates has made all three girls for being on 60 days in. Mark is worried about being called in to interview in the middle of this shit storm. This is a wrap. Now how the hell do they get everyone out of there safely? Sheriff Mark Lamb is on the way to figure that out. I assume, priority one is getting David’s dumbass out of there ASAP.
So that’s it then, right? They’ll just all get pulled and we’ll have exit interviews? I wonder if David will realize when he’s out what a big fuck up he made.
My TiVo always stops recording a minute early so I rarely get to see next weeks preview. Your recap of it sounds super juicy! God, this is just the best show on tv right now!!
I love this show! Thanks for the recaps! You crack me up!! “Yes, he really is that fucking stupid, thanks for asking!” Ha!
Didn’t Brooke comment on the last episode post? I’m watching it with you TT. Watching and waiting for David to fuck it all up with his ego.
So David is a classic narcissist right? He is like that dumb broad from last season, Angele, who began dating another inmate, Gabrielle, and fell “in love” during her mission. Angele caused the sheriff to shut the program down and pull all of the participants from the program as a result of her sharing her true identity with Gabrielle, her “true love”. Angele was such a narcissist and clueless #$%^@, that she did not even apologize for her poor judgment causing the program to end early.
David is the new Angele. So dumb and full of himself. Thinks that he is smarter than he actually is…Delusions of grandeur..Would David qualify as a cunt satchel?
Yes David would serve as a cunt satchel. Yes he would, definetly. Thanks for asking. WTF has happened with the people they screen to come on this show as undercover? Thought they did some kind of psychological evaluation not only for their safety but for not putting the safety of everyone else in danger. Messsy! Good job TT running it all down. I was watching it & you recap perfectly.
Yes that idiot! Fall in love because you know it’s for reals and last 4ever! Written in teen speak because she was so stupid!!
Great show! You know this show and that get Castawaye don’t get the comments and attention they deserve. That’s because I think the less combative comments don’t watch and would comment as nauseum on the HW bullshit.
that just goes to show you what kind of f****** cop he is! all ego!!!
This is best season because everyone knows the game they are playing. They literally have to make life and death decisions over the most basic stuff like food, clothing, personal care items constantly to survive. Even a tap out is no good when a frustrated DO turns their head for 30 seconds in an off camera area like the bathroom, shower, medical room etc. It’s true reality of how humans respond in a constant fight or flight mode. Feelings don’t matter when you don’t freely have access to water, food, shelter and medical care. You always have to be ready for a struggle. It’s very intense and hard to watch for “normal” people.
Have any of these fools ever watched the other episodes? Or Oz? Or the Wire? Even fiction should clue them in to how things work. If this goes on for another season, production needs to come up with a new cover story.
I agree, Nanette! Everyone knows by now what is up with the “documentary crew”. This is as bad as Undercover Boss. Everyone playing dumb for the cameras and believing the back story.
Yah, I’m surprised everyone in there doesn’t make them as participants the day they walk in! And this series with the females makes me sick. They immediately cliqued up together & repeatedly stick together whispering. The CO’s know and start f***ing with them from jump. And they’re surprised? And the PIN #’s always being used by someone else, how’s that happening? The paper their pin # is on is always missing..hmmm, bet
the CO’s are pulling that paper and giving the # to the thief Jasmin whose always on the phone but everyone knows she has no money on the books. This whole episode kinda been a farce, starting with that guy Steve they pulled TFO.
Oh my God David! What the fuck?! Dillon will be in protective custody until his release but he will definitely be touched. How stupid of him? If he thinks the kinfolk will go to war for him, he is beyond naive and stupid. This season is complete trash, the girls are doing absolutely nothing and the guys (Abner and David) are doing way way too much.
I was touched to see Abner realise that what he did was fucked up but what would have really solidified it for me was if he said everything that he said to us to Ikaika as well (his mistakes, his view of him as a son, his hopes for him).
David is completely batshit. He’s lost it completely. Mark is doing an amazing job, I’m excited to watch and find out what he eventually learns. David’s behavior would be so embarrassing for law enforcement, his colleagues and superiors especially. It’s such a great show but this better be the first and last season where the participants are introduced to each other. This season is a mess but I’m still enjoying it.
I do hope David knows that he guaranteed that boy’s trip to the ER and he better pray that’s where it ends. I’ve watched enough docos to know that prison is no joke and the gangs are really about that life becausr you’re in their world. Play by the rules or get played with.
I love this show, but you’re right TT about the famewhoring. It was so obvious, especially with the girls.
I’m wondering how this is going to end for David when he is back out –how can he be a cop with everyone knowing he was a snitch, basically. Asshole–putting everyone else in jeopardy. And the girls would have done great of they hadn’t gotten together so quickly. I love this show but I can’t see how there is another season, after all of this.
I love reading these recaps TT, I too, don’t get why more people aren’t commenting on this?? I love this shit show 🙂 This recap had me laughing way too loud at work lol especially the comment under David about tying his shirt up hahahaha! This is the first season I have really been panicked for the participants while watching..The level of stupidity is at an all time high here. I am just stunned at David’s stupid behavior. I wonder if he was dismissed or encouraged to resign from his police job when he left 60 Days In?? His behavior cannot be looked at as tolerable by his pd??? It’s almost worse than Angele!
Vivian running to Jazmyn every time something happens is so dumb and obvious. Just shut up already.
A lot of time the “cops” on this show are former cops who for one reason or another are security guards.
Oh I didn’t realize that! That explains a lot now lol 🙂
Lots of cops retire at a fairly early age, then take jobs as security guards or security consultants. I would think they could spot a plant faster than a career prison guard. But maybe not.
The inmates have more sense than the 60 Day participants.The women are in their own game show, David’s EGO has found a career in gangwarfare and Abner should be arrested for assault. I must find an inmate website to make new friends.
Last episode hard to watch but can’t turn away, it’s like watching a train wreck! David & Abner acting like they’re auditioning for made for tv movie. Worried as hell for Mark when he went in like a lamb walking into the lion’s den. I couldn’t put my finger on what is wrong with the series but @TheShadiestGrove nailed it when she said participants knew each other before going in! THAT was collosal mistake. David should be sshamed of himself but when he was pulled after having the cozy 1 on 1 chat with CO he did walk by looking at the camera mouthing the words “I want the hell out of here”. Maybe that explains his actions, he wants out. But if so he should just tap out instead of putting the young white guy in such danger & before, when he gets to prison. NOT A GOOD SEASON FOR THE SHOW.
I forgot how much I loved this show. I stopped watching a few seasons ago – so much TV so little time. But I’m home sick with the flu so I binge watched the entire season yesterday.
I need to go back and read all of your recaps now.
But poor stupid David; initially I thought Mark was the stupid one because he kept saying “I need to make my mark on this season” and appeared to be creating his on chaos.
I agree that Maybe David has fulfilled his mission well except staying for the full 60 days. But he is clearly showing signs of cracking and maybe the producers well need to make a decision on pull him. Well probably not the producers because his dumb antics make good TV; but the sheriff needs to make a the decision to pull him early. He wasn’t this cocky and reckless going in. I’m wondering if he is using drugs now. Remember he said Everybody, everybody, EveryBody was using drugs – I felt like that statement included him.
Yeah, I think he was probably using the drugs. They have shown the participants using drugs in the past and probably figured out that was not a good idea.
I don’t know about David taking others drugs to make him so erraratic. Psychotropics take full 2 weeks to get into your system and feel a difference in your thoughts & actions. I think he feels he fulfilled his mission halfway thru and wants Sherriff to yank him out, rather than tapping out that would make him look like a punk. But he needn’t worry, tying his sweatshirt around his shoulders fully did that. And fully agree with the poster in the beginning who said David wasn’t wearing underwear! What’s he trying to do, get a gig in hotdog magaxine?
I discovered 60 Days in and Love after Lockup from your recaps and am totally addicted. Not all of us who wouldn’t miss your recaps feel the need to comment every week, but I wanted you to know we are out here reading. I enjoy your recaps so much because you often notice nuances that I miss. Your comment that many cops on the show are actually former cops turned security guards. I think that’s a perfect description of David.
I am sad that this might be the last season of the show. The participants are so dumb and fame-hungry they could put everyone in a lot of danger. I assume these people are paid for their participation. Do you have any idea of the price range? I’m not interested in doing the show; just curious.
Please don’t stop recapping these trainwrecks. We love them even if we won’t admit it.
I love this show, though this season does not come close to the others, I still love it. Remember when we all thought David was cute? Not so much anymore.
Someone told me ages ago that prisoners have nothing to do all day but think of ways to get out, when you are out of prison, there are many things to keep your mind busy. The participants think that the prisoners would not be on to them, but 60 days in is a huge thing to the people in jail, I assume. Keeping your cover seems to be the MOST Important thing and no one seems to be doing it. I also thought there were 8 participants, and there were only 7, this year, now 6? and the women all act as one, which I think is working to make this show less engaging. I hope they can figure out a way to do it again next season. Each new group is going to have to be craftier.
David is a cocky little prick. That’s all I got.
THIS ☝☝
Yes TT we love your recaps. You do seem to have more insight and catch details I miss. So I am anxious to check in and see what other viewers have to say, also. LOVE your followers. And I can cuss and say things like these participants are all fucking glory hounds (except Mark of course). I had high hopes for Sheriff Lamb to get some good feedback to help his jail. Such a let down. Unfortunately makes for great tv. And we all get to see what jail is kinda like. Abner hopefully picks up assault charges. After thinking what he did he had a change of heart and came up with his new found compassion. Don’t fool me. He’s scared straight. David, well you USED to be on the SWAT team. Idiot glory whore. Thankfully you are not protecting my community. Your department has to be ashamed. Mark, you go dude!!! The girls have no clue what mission they are on. Well, Brooke is auditioning for glamour shots. What a snob. Geese girls, you really fucked this up. Can’t hardly wait till next week… stay with us TT. You are Super Hero to us❤️❤️❤️
Yep, introducing them ahead of time was a huge mistake. I can see why they thought it would be a good idea, so the participants could focus on observing the jail system instead of trying to figure out who else was in the program, but it totally backfired. The women immediately grouped up like idiots, and the men seemed to handle it well until David got a God complex. Like he really expects the other inmates to be dumb enough or intimidated enough by him to not realize how crazy it sounds that him and a Puerto Rican he knows from “back East” are randomly housed in the same jail in AZ?
Poor Mark, watching David saunter off with the guard, and knowing it’s about to go FUBAR. It was kind of pathetic how desperate and excited David looked to tell the guard he was a cop.
I agree it seemed like David was setting Dillon up or using him as a pawn to show how much sway he had. Especially after the head white guy, Josh, went in and calmly explained the dynamics and reasoning behind it, and David still failed to see how dangerous it was.
I always watch, TT and read the recaps as well. I agree that David blew it and it would be nice if our dear Brooke gave us an idea of the price range. Just because she can 😀 I think Mark is going to be the hero this season. I hope so because if I remember correctly he has a pre-teen son and that would be great for the kid to see his pops in that light. The girls are basically worthless. At least Viv and Jaz. At least Brooke isn’t so damned obvious.
Brooke is so OBVIOUS….She sticks out like a fox in the hen house!!!! She’s a wimp who tries to get the other women to do her bidding….Cause she’s a weak, pathetic Snob! So, Just stop it! I’m not a criminal but I would’ve peeped her on day 1. I like Abner. I think he became confused about his past life vs his current life as a Chaplain. David is a cutie pie with balls….. but for the life of me, I don’t understand why he decided to tell the DO his status??!! Maybe he has a plan?!…..Or maybe not! He gets to go home while the rest on lockdown are fighting for their lives. I’m Retired Military and the 2 Dumb-asses (Jazmyn & Vivivan) who are former Veterans, are extremely stupid!!! They make me angry watching every pitiful episode and don’t represent our Armed Forces well…. Ol’ Softies! I’m glad I didn’t volunteer for this show bc I would give every Bitch in that pod Hell who trip on me! I’m not a bully, but I CAN’T with the whole damn lot and the entire program!!!! Mark is the winner for this season in my opinion!
When and how did David get started being called “Prince”? I missed that. All they had to do was go in there & observe. Go back to the sheriff and give him their take on the workings of his jail. Period. Only Mark is doing what he’s supposed to do.
I realized I was an episode behind! AB broke my heart too. I knew he would do well. I hope he continues his work to help others.I’m shocked by Mark and David. Did not expect David to be so dumb, and thought Mark would be eaten alive. David also seemed jealous of mark. I hope they yank him, fast.
The ladies would have been more successful if they were separated. I love Vivian
In the beginning David was the last person I thought would blow his cover. His true colors really came out. To the commentor who said “Delusions of grandeur”….very true
I am behind watching this, so I can’t believe what I am reading here! At first I thought it was a great idea to have them meet beforehand, especially for Mark’s sake. Thought his castmate would have his back in case he got in trouble. Was also initially worried that maybe David would be at potential risk, that someone was busted by him as a cop and would recognize him.
I sure had high hopes for David and Abner to really make some positive changes to that place, or at least to another prisoner. My, how incarceration can change someone, unreal.
Love this show thanks to your recommendation TT. Also watched and loved Castaways, another great find by you – hope both of these shows come back.
David must really have a screw loose. Or a couple maybe. He did not look stable last night watching. You could see him getting nervous chewing his lip and inside cheek when he was called out of the pod. He knew what he did was wrong and thought he could get away with it? He looked like he was gonna cry when the Sheriff was talking to him, and tried to rationalize his behavior. Maybe he was already let go from a police dept for his grandiose behavior and he IS a security officer. Somebody with an ego like that should not be on any police dept. And what he did to Abner can get him killed, Abner knows it. So far the Sheriff didn’t know he gave up Abner to that B-Shaw who went right back to Abner’s pod & let the other inmates know. David is #unstable!
OH after the show ends they might need guards present to keep Abner from tearing David a new one. That is if Abner gets out okay! David’s an idiot and I pray for society he is never employed at a police drpartment.
Prince is the absolute biggest douche I have ever witnessed on reality tv. Prince and AB, both are our truest threats to society. I hope Mark and the women in the program don’t get wacked because of you 2 criminals. I see you Prince! While I’m here, Abner, the only thing you enforced during your own mission was pure racism.
Truedat Daniel Williams, Abner keep segregation going strong. But the younger generation making great strides in equality in the races – they don’t see race. They see people stealing, snitching, uncleanliness & immorality. Not race, which is good..
