Louis Theroux: Miami Mega Jail

SPARC · 20 May 2011 at 12:02

Held in large cage-like dwellings for up to 24 men, the inmates have developed a strange and violent jail culture. The men - who remain in the cells almost all the time and may only leave for yard time twice a week - live under the sway of a gladiatorial code.

It's on BBC 2 this Sunday and I think it will be interesting. There is a small clip of it here

I'm really looking forward to it as I like Louis' style.

Will be watching this

He asks a lot of good questions - Most of his documentries are pretty interesting

Don't think it's in HD.

It's also a 2 parter - one episode on 22nd and the other on the 29th.

Should be good ,will tune into this one.

Hank_Marvin · 20 May 2011 at 15:23

Always good, will be watching.

My only complaint is he doesn't do enough shows these days, although not too bad this year.

The 2nd part is another jail isnt it, or something else.

I was watching some of his old documentaries a few weeks back. The swingers one is brilliant. The Wrestling one is pretty good also.

I really like Louis but I wish he would do something closer to his earlier TV work. He was hilarious when meeting the more unusual people.

fozzybear · 22 May 2011 at 20:47

I'm not sure how good this is going to be tonight. I've seen a few of these prison docs and I'm not sure what's going to be so different about this one.

I'll still watch it though. Starts in 15 minutes.

Louis Theroux?

Azza · 22 May 2011 at 20:57

Starting in 3 mins.

His last prison one was really really good so this jail one should be great.

I believe the Teevee Gide (or whatever that new fangled thing is called) may have the kind of info you're looking for?

lol

anyway, it's quite good so far. i hate to sound a bit politically incorrect but i am stating what i believe to be what may be a slightly innacurate observation that i've only seen 2 white people so far. one was louis theroux and one was a guard!

physichull · 22 May 2011 at 21:43

Jeez Louise, ALL these people need ending. Terrible, terrible crimes.

That poor Anthony guy is gonna get bummed stupid in that cell.
