I have so much I need to be doing today, but I have so many things to post about that I am just going to try and power through them all today. I am very excited for the 60 Days In Recap from the episode title alone! Let’s see who gets stabbed! I hope it is not one of “ours.” That said I usually tag all the participants and never got around to it this season because they are all dropping like flies. I can’t say as I blame them. But some of the men who dropped immediately really shocked me
Men’s Pod
Dennis has already made Tony as a participant but he is not approaching him about it. Dennis still thinks he is killing it as an undercover. Tony laughs when producers tell him Dennis sees himself as a pod boss. In the pod, Tony tells Dennis he wants a banger, aka a shank. I think he wants protection because there is too much going on. Dennis now sees it as a competition to get a shank for himself first. Good luck with that Dennis. I can’t wait for the reunion episode.

Alex is drawing attention to himself with his new “cop haircut” and going around introducing himself to people and politely shaking their hand as if he is in a receiving line. Everyone thinks he is a cop. Looks like he is the one about to get shanked. 🙁 Then he buys a $70 radio from commissary. Tony says Alex just walks around with headphones on all day. Then guys he lets a guy “borrow” his radio. Alex feels like he is going to have to fight the guy. He gives the distress signal. Alex meets with production and tells them he is flashing back to when he was a bullied fat kid. He is ready to tap out. And he does. Frankly, I am proud that he lasted as long as he did.
STABBED!
Tony and his cell mates wake up to the sound of someone nearby sharpening a shank. Tony escalates his mission to get one for himself. When Tony gets his shank, the guy who made it for him talks to the camera and implies some shit is going to go down with Tony. Oh no! Remember at his intake he said the only thing that could take him out is a shank. Foreshadowing? Tony calls his girlfriend and tells her that there are shanks all in the cell that can go straight through someone’s chest.

While he is on the phone, a fight breaks out between Willie and Versace. There is a guard right there who is doing absolutely nothing. Still on the phone, Tony tells the guys to just let it go. But they don’t. Willie goes to get a broom to beat Versace with. Then Versace brings out a shank.and stabs he living shit out of Willie.
Women’s Pod
All of the trustees except for Ashley became sick or injured so Ashley recommended Ashley to be a trustee. And bang, that happened too. This seems fishy to me. Ashley and Jennifer are very close. But they are both over Shanese and her constant complaining. Shawnee’s bunkie is smoking drugs and taking God knows what. Angel seems to be the drug dealer in the jail. LOL Shanese tells production that Jennifer needs to go kick rocks with Jesus’ sandals.

Shanese’s bunkie asks her to pee for an inmate named Angel. Angel is one of the tougher women in the pod. So when Shanese says no, I expected there to be consequences. And right now, Ashley and Jen do not have her back. Angel stands at the door to intimidate her. So she does it. And thanks to Shanese, Angel get let out of jail and put back on the streets. Shanese tells production that Angel’s release doesn’t have anything to do with her. But she tells Ashley what she did.
Next week: Shanese taps and Ashley and Jennifer really want her to tap out. A mentally ill female tries to dive off the balcony. When Ashley intervenes she is made as a cop because of her maneuvers. Tony buys a lot of commissary to try to buy up all the shanks. and drugs, Dennis gets a new cell mate that attract the Bloods.
I am proud of Alex, too, for lasting as long as he did. I always wish we had a better sense of how much time has passed–I think we’re really only about two weeks in, though I don’t know for sure because they don’t flash up Day 18, or whatever. I wish they would. But someone on this episode said something about two weeks.
I guess the cameras didn’t catch Dennis bargaining for/getting his shank. They didn’t show us, as they did with Tony, and the producer is surprised when Dennis mentions it in one of his interviews.
Tony’s plan to use his giant commissary bag of goodies to buy all the shanks in the pod is not a good one, because it will draw attention to him and make him a target–plus there will always be an incoming supply of shanks.
On a previous show, Ashley said something about thinking she was just fitting in, but becoming a trustee is not fitting in–it is being singled out and drawing attention to yourself. And then when she recommends Jennifer to be a trustee too–that seems a bit much.
We see the trustees cleaning the common area, but I’m curious how cleaning their cells works. Can they get cleaning supplies from the guards and clean their own cells?
Ashley made herself.
That environment isn’t safe for anyone.
Glad Shaneese is leaving.
Love love love this season! I’m stunned the guards seem so scared of everything in there. They need to get troubled teens in this setting- scared straight works.
Alex ~ I am so happy you got out of there!
I really hope you don’t think any less of yourself for quitting.
You had ginormous balls to even go in there and stay as long as you did.
I am also proud of Alex for lasting as long as he did. Thought for sure it would have been quicker than it was.
Hello! I do like this season but I also liked in previous seasons when all of the participants were given specific ‘tasks’ during their orientation by the Warden (ie; how are drugs getting in, how are weapons etc etc). Etowah is a crazy place!! Amazing how available shanks are.
