Unlocked: A Jail Experiment (2024)

Unlocked: A Jail Experiment is an upcoming Netflix series that explores a radical social experiment within a detention facility in Arkansas. Sheriff Eric Higgins introduces a new approach to incarceration, giving inmates unprecedented autonomy. They are allowed more freedom to move, make decisions within their unit, and engage with the outside world to some extent. This experiment aims to examine the effects of granting prisoners more agency on their behavior, the facility's dynamics, and potentially their rehabilitation process. Scheduled for release on April 10, 2024, the series promises to offer a unique look at the possibilities of reforming the criminal justice system.
