    Sactown

    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.

    Puts things into perspective

    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.

    Great insight on Sac County Jail

    I live in Sacramento and know several people that have been in and out of this jail! Find that the stories of the people in this documentary very interesting and wanted more after the sixth episode was over. Would love a season 2 Jailbirds to be released.

    Nothing new, but not terrible

    If your looking for a mindless watch and something reality based it's not so bad. It's basically like any other "prison program" you see on Discovery or NatGeo. Some of the stories are interesting. I've only watched a couple of episodes. I don't think you can watch much more than 1 or 2 at a time. It's sad because the majority of these inmates, especially the women are in for the root cause being drugs. I'd say that most just belong in some sort of long term drug program, but then again I'm sure most have been to those places before they got to jail. Anyway, it's not terrible. Nothing groundbreaking here.

    Meh

    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.
