“I didn’t want this to be a doom-and-gloom type of show that gave law enforcement a band name for the sake of entertainment,” he said. Scandrett, in an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, said he spent months doing his due diligence before saying yes to “60 Days In.” “It’s to erase the divide between law enforcement and the community.” “I’m very clear on my purpose,” Scandrett said in the first episode. (O’Neal makes an appearance in the first episode.) He also garnered headlines hiring NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal to be director of community relations, who recently purchased a mansion in McDonough. “60 Days In” producers originally pitched the show to Reginald Scandrett, the first African American sheriff in the county’s history, because of his efforts to reduce recidivism and build trust in the county’s police force.
That level of mental torture took an immediate toll on the first volunteers who enter the prison in the first episode. To make matters worse, the inmates had to be quarantined with another prisoner for a draconian 14 days upfront inside a tiny cell 23 hours a day before entering the general population since the world was still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic at the time of production.
If they need to get out either temporarily or permanently, they provide a specific distress signal to the producers: rubbing their temples and saying out loud, “I have a really bad headache.”
