What is 'Unlocked: A Jail Experiment' Season 2 about?
Netflix has yet to disclose the plot of 'Unlocked: A Jail Experiment' Season 2. However, the upcoming instalment will definitely follow the social experiment where the inmates were freed in their cells without any sheriff. Similar to Season 1, the forthcoming season of the Netflix show will be filled with lots of entertainment, feud, chaos and mind games.
In the recently debuted season, Pulaski County Sheriff Eric Higgins implemented a six-week program to try and see how inmates would respond to the newly found freedom. Sheriff Eric thought a different approach was needed given the issues plaguing the Arkansas detention facility and the jail's poor living conditions, where inmates can spend upwards of 23 hours a day in their cells.
The social experiment offered the inmates to take more responsibilities for both themselves and others. The aim of the program was to foster feelings of dignity and accountability.
