New series or old ones ?


Any thoughts ?

Th volunteers ( many ex offenders) earn around $3,000 dollars / £2,400 per episode or £43,000 per series


They do risk their own mental and physical wellbeing though

I watch this, Zizu, and have seen at least 3 series now. It’s an interesting watch. It is definitely risky and not something I’d be prepared to do.

Same

Guess the money plays a factor plus the majority have spent a decent amount of time behind bars so it’s probably not as daunting for them compared to us normals

They’re not all ex-criminals though. I think it’d be an extremely interesting challenge, but I just wouldn’t have the courage to participate. I really respect those that do.

From the few series I’ve seen there was only one guy who hadn’t done time though

That’s not always been the case, Zizu, though it might be more so now. In the early series, many participants were there to learn and felt they would be suitable because of their work experiences. For instance, Participants from Series 1 were as follows:

Maryum May May Ali - social worker
Barbra Roylance Williams - author
Tami Ferraiuolo - former police officer
Jeffrey Downs - security officer
Robert Holcomb - teacher.
Isaiah Jenkins - recent high school graduate and brother of a current inmate.
Zachary Baker - veteran

Ahhh.. I’ve just watched series 7 and 8 and it’s definitely more dangerous and likely you are caught out by prisoners who literally have nothing else to think about

The inmates were very suspicious about new prisoners and their fabricated back story especially as each series a huge number of cameras are installed months before the ‘spies’ are sent in

There’s quite a lot of talk about the possibility of newbies being spies / plants … even genuine ones
