VIDEOS 60 Days In is coming to Atlanta

The 3rd and 4th season of A&E’s popular series 60 Days In is headed south.

60 Days In: Atlanta will take place at the infamous Fulton County Jail. Known to locals as “Rice Street,” the massive facility has a reputation for being one of the roughest jails in America.

Here’s a brief intro for the show via the official website:

60 Days In enters Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail for two new explosive seasons at one of the most dangerous facilities in the country. With five times the number of inmates as previous seasons, rampant drug problems, a powerful gang population and the constant threat of violence, innocent participants plunge deeper into this dangerous world of incarceration.

The Fulton County Jail, led by Chief Jailer Colonel Mark C. Adger, is plagued with rival gangs, drugs, and corruption. After learning about the tremendous success of the previous undercover programs in Clark County, Indiana, Colonel Adger, decided to use innocent civilians to help him expose the root of these issues, while providing an unbiased perspective of life inside his facility.

And here’s a first look:

If the comments on the trailer are any indication, the rough rep for Rice Street has been earned. “Rice Street is messed up, I don’t blame the Sheriff for trying to get a better handle on things there,” one fan wrote. Another added, “I wouldn’t even walk pass Fulton county jail, let alone go in for 60 days! Lord be with all the participants!”

This additional teaser via Facebook is jam packed full of tension and violence:

The names of the volunteers both brave and crazy enough to go to Rice Street voluntarily haven’t been revealed yet. Here’s what we do know so far:

The participants who infiltrate the jail this season include a special education teacher who works with at risk youth, a man who believes that the system has failed African Americans and wants to help fight discrimination, a former corrections officer who wants to see what it is like when the roles are reversed, a woman who met her husband while he was incarcerated and hopes to understand his institutionalized behavior, a Marine with law enforcement aspirations and others.
