‘Fake’ Pinal jail inmate in TV show learns real lesson
by Heather Smathers | Casa Grande Dispatch
Season 5 of “60 Days In” was filmed at the Pinal County jail.
It turns out being a jail inmate never leaves you — even if you weren’t a real one to begin with.
In the spring, seven average citizens, a mix of men and women, were booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center under different aliases and phony charges to spend “60 Days In” the jail as part of a reality cable TV show of that name. The Sheriff’s Office went through the typical booking process, including putting the volunteers’ mugshots on the county website, as it does with every inmate.
But there’s just one problem: One of the inmates, Brooke, was booked into the jail under her real identity.
