The participates of '60 Days In' joined captain Scottie Maples and Sheriff Jamey Noel to discuss their experiences in Clark County Jail with television host Dan Abrams.

Tami, Barbra and Maryum were the first to sit down with Abrams. Tami revealed she quit her job as a police officer after 21 years. She said after spending time in jail she didn't want to be one of the people who put someone in there. Things got heated between Maryum, Barbra and Tami when Maryum was explaining why she used the term "small yellow bus" while they were in the program. Maryum apologized to the ladies and said in no way was she trying to offend anyone especially since her brother rode the school bus. Just as Maples stated that's the reality of jail. 

Since leaving the program Isaiah has enrolled into college. He talked about how the program made him not want to go to jail. Jeff who said he traded commissary for things hoping to make friends and keep him from being a target also said he would do the program again. Isaiah and Zac explained to Jeff the difference between how they traded commissary and how he did it. Zac said he wouldn't trust his life in Jeff hands and rightfully so. Jeff made himself a target and if he went back in he would become someone boyfriend simply because of that.

Robert's attitude was the same way it was before the program and after the program. Zac and Tami made a bet that Robert wouldn't last long. Zac gave him three weeks and Tami who won the bet gave him five weeks. Robert took the program for a joke and denied he faked being sick. He was in complete denial when he said he didn't have any problems while he was in jail and that he wanted to go back to segregation. Anyone who watched the show could tell Robert feared for his life. He placed the towel over the camera on purpose so he could go into segregation which he called meditation. He knew when Captain Maples told him he was going back to general population that it wasn't going to be good for him. Robert did not take the program seriously.

Maples and Noel gave positive feedback on all the participates except Robert. Zac was the most informative and Barbra was the strongest survivor. 

'60 Days In' will be returning for a new season.This time Zac's wife will be a participant. And there will be eight participants instead of seven.

'60 Days In': "Tami Is Way In Over Her Head"

 There's a new reality show called '60 Day's In' on A&E. It's a reality show where seven volunteers including a marine, security officer, stay-at-home-mom, police officier, brother of a former jailmate, a social worker also former boxing greatest Muhammed Ali and a business man decided to go into the jail facility in the Clark County jail in Indiana. 

From day one Robert showed that he wasn't listiening to nothing he learned in training. He got his cover story all messed up and then he broke the rules. He went in the jail taking it as a joke. He doesn't realize the danger he is putting himself and others in the facility in, like Diandre.  At this rate it doesn't look like he's going ot make it to the end.

Tami who is a police officer went into the program thinking she can play the role of an officer. She needs to understand that age doesn't mean anything once you go into jail. Regardless of her professional status she might be joining Robert in an early departure. When Tami confronted Boston the way she did she didn't realize how lucky she was. Boston may have been 21-years-old but she was about to give a 45-year-old woman what she was looking for.

Zac ssems to be doing better than everyone else. However, he is getting way too comfortable. He broke the rules when he called a fellow inmate a B***h. He then said he and his friends joke like that all of the time. While Zac was hunting out drug dealers in the joint he must be careful before he reising suspicions.

Isaiah isn't doing so well. He has no idea and his cover story is wack. He felt his life was in jeopardy so he called out the code word 'hot coffee'. Things like this isn't made for everyone and Isaiah is one of them.

Another volunteer this program isn't made for is Jeff. Just like Robert his story was unbelievable. He didn't know if his charges were a felony or embezzlement. Once Jeff began to raise suspicions amongs the other inmates the scheming began.

Maryum aka Yaz and Barbra are low key. They mostly sit back and observe things. Tami and Barbra are aware each other are from Sgt. Noel's program but they don't know about Maryum and she doesn't know about them. Maryum is like the motherly kind to the inmates while Tami is too busy trying to be a law enforcer.

Who will make it to the end on '60 Days In'? Robert, Tami and Isaiah might be the first to go. So far Zac is doing good but for how long? There's a chance Jeff will make it, but we will see how long he lasts after he gets attacked. It's going to be a matter of time before Barbra and Maryum gets tested. Who's going to reach their breaking point first?

Stay tuned for '60 Days In' Thursday's on A&E!
