Season 5

Newly elected sheriff Mark Lamb sends six volunteers into the Pinal County Detention Center on a mission to uncover valuable intelligence about the gangs, drugs and operational issues that plague his facility.

With three participants in the jail and two more on their way in, Sheriff Lamb's mission-based program is off to the races.

With all seven participants embedded in the facility, some struggle to maintain their distance from one another; one participant threatens to bring the whole program to an abrupt end.

As the participants begin to focus on their missions, some find early success while others are met with immediate interference; Sheriff Lamb is forced to make a tough decision.

The participants are tested by thieves and the racial politics of jail, forcing them to become either targets and victims, or threats and aggressors.

David climbs the ranks in the pod and struggles to remember what side he is on; Abner is tested when one of his own commits an offense; the women suspect that they are being unfairly targeted by the DOs.

More than halfway through their time in jail, the participants struggle to make progress on their missions; as pod drama boils over, some hit their breaking point.

The participants struggle with race politics, jailhouse thieves, and protecting their cover stories; the secrets become too difficult for one participant to keep.

The sheriff and his team face a tough decision; the consequences of one participant's actions put the remaining participants in very real danger.

When a participant's cover is blown, Sheriff Lamb and his team must decide whether to end the program early or risk the lives of the remaining participants.

For the first time, all seven participants will meet with the Sheriff and his team to discuss the craziest moments from their time in the Pinal County Jail.
