Jailbirds

I put this show on for background noise while I cleaned my house. Boy howdy, it delivered on that front. I wasn't expecting to like it, so I can't say whether I really liked or not. I'm kinda meh about it. But I did read one review here that was outraged over the "lesbian wedding" and stating how "those people need psychiatric help" and how they "shouldn't be on our streets" and blah blah blah. And all I can I say to that person is, I would rather have lesbians and people trying to turn their lives around on our streets than drug dealers and judgmental people like you.

Typically what this show is, is seeing on camera what will happen to you, if you choose to make bad choices, get involved in drugs and surround yourself with dangerous people.

Surprise! You do the wrong thing you end up in jail and/or prison.

"Jailbirds" shows you the woman, dealing and coming to terms with these life choices.

You can watch and judge them. Or you can be thankful that you've never been put in a situation that would lead you to living this lifestyle.

I was very questionable about this show going in to it but it really makes you think. Throughout the show these convicts admit that they were wrong and admit what they did was not ethically right and they wanna be better and they show remorse what they did was wrong yes but please I implore you take a moment and put yourself in their shoes please give this show a try just please.

I live in Sacramento and I found it insightful and very entertaining. Wish these women could change but unfortunately one commuted a crime recently at my company and if there is a season 2 she will make an appearance.

Jailbirds appeared with no forewarning but has me desperately clinging to hope for a second season! We binged the first season over two days and we were captivated by the horrors and indeed the wonders of jail life! The show has been masterfully filmed and edited so you see everything from love, loss and betrayal to fighting, friendships... even a wedding! It's like a soap opera but then you remind yourself these are real women, not actresses... And all are criminals! You will learn simply mind-blowing things about life in jail including the amazing all-in-one waste disposal, "phone" system and cell-to-cell delivery system....! Jailbirds has been beautifully filmed for Netflix and a simply perfect soundtrack has been added to evoke plenty of emotion whilst following the female inmates! You will truly connect with the ladies as they struggle with relationships, turmoil and jail politics! I laughed, I cried, I was shocked but most of all I was thoroughly entertained and felt a real kinship with the ladies because of the skilful documentary-making here!
