Sheriff Jamey Noel

A&E Network has granted a second season to “60 Days In,” the unprecedented original docu-series following innocent participants who enter the dangerous world of incarceration at the Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The announcement was made by Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for A&E, days before the first season premiere. It will air Thursdays at 10PM/PT starting March 17th after its March 10th premiere. Season two of “60 Days In” will follow eight new participants and premiere later this year on A&E. “‘60 Days In’ is the perfect example of A&E’s unique brand of disruptive non-fiction storytelling that takes viewers outside of their comfort zone,” said Frontain Bryant. “As soon as footage from season one began to come in, we knew we had something special and we immediately ordered a second season. We hope viewers will share our passion for this groundbreaking series.” In order for Sheriff Jamey Noel and the Clark County Jail to re-implement the program, the second set of participants completed their time in the facility before any prison staff or officers were aware of the program ensuring secrecy and their safety. This strategic approach made their time in jail equally authentic and even more shocking for the facility’s officers and staff. Clark County Correctional Jailhouses approximately 500 prisoners, from inmates charged with drug dealing to first time offenders to capital murder. Due to the facility’s recent corrupt history, Sheriff Jamey Noel initially devised this program to have participants live among the facility’s general population for 60 days without officers, fellow inmates, or staff knowing their secret. Season two participants were followed by hundreds of cameras planted throughout the jail exposing their journey. Each participant’s reason for volunteering for the program varies, but they share the ultimate goal of leaving with a better understanding of the system –how it operates,its psychological effects, and wanting a part in exposing its larger impact on society. Season one of “60 Days In” will air in over 100 territories worldwide on A&E and Crime & Investigation Network™. ABOUT SHERIFF JAMEY NOEL Jamey Noel is the Sheriff of Clark Co since January 2015.
