Premise
The television series follows seven individuals as they volunteer to go undercover, spending 60 days as prison inmates. Their goal is to obtain evidence of questionable or illegal activities within the jail that might be missed by the correctional officers and surveillance systems. The existence of the undercover program is kept secret from the inmates, the guards, and most of the jail officials.{{cite news |title=7 people went undercover as inmates for 2 months, and they revealed harrowing details about an Indiana jail|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/60-days-in-follows-undercover-inmates-2016-3 | first = Mark | last = Abadi | date = March 10, 2016 | work = Business Insider | publisher = Business Insider Inc. | access-date = February 12, 2017}} Prior to entering the jail, the volunteers receive instruction on how to act around other inmates, and they are each given a pseudonym and a cover story, including details of the (fake) criminal charges on which they were arrested.
The first two seasons occurred in the Clark County Jail{{cite web|title= Facility Access Agreement Executed (NY1367406.1, 222642-10028) |url=https://www.scribd.com/doc/299568917/Facility-Access-Agreement-Executed | date = October 1, 2015 | author = First Timers Holdings | access-date = February 12, 2017}} (also known as the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex{{cite web|title= Jail/Inmate Information | publisher = Jackson County Sheriff's Office |url=http://www.clarkcosheriff.com/default.asp?q_areaprimaryid=7 | access-date = February 12, 2017}}), in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Although it was repeatedly mentioned that Maryum Ali was given an alias to use because of her famous father (boxer Muhammad Ali), it was later revealed that volunteer Robert was also using an alias while imprisoned, and that he would blow his cover if he visited an emergency room and gave his real name.{{cite web | title = The Wimpies, Cramps, And Thieves of 60 Days In | url = http://previously.tv/60-days-in/the-wimpies-cramps-and-thieves-of-60-days-in/ | first = Sarah D. | last = Bunting | date = April 29, 2016 | work = PreviouslyTV | publisher = Brother of Menelaus, Inc. | access-date = February 12, 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170425163128/http://previously.tv/60-days-in/the-wimpies-cramps-and-thieves-of-60-days-in/ | archive-date = April 25, 2017 | url-status = dead }}
Because producers realized that it would be difficult for volunteers to remain undercover after the first season aired, a second season was produced before the series premiered.{{cite news |title='60 Days In' Renewed for Season 2 Ahead of Series Premiere on A&E |url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/60-days-in-renewed-season-2-series-premiere-1201725214/ | first = Laura | last = Prudom | date = March 8, 2016 | work = Variety | access-date = February 12, 2017}} Representatives from A&E told Business Insider that multiple corrections officers were fired due to the program. According to the producers, valid legal releases to appear on television were obtained from inmates,{{cite news|title=A&E show payment could fund Clark jail upgrades |url=http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/indiana/2016/02/17/did-clark-co-jail-get-paid-e-series/80494662/ | first = Lexy | last = Gross | date = February 19, 2016 | work = The Courier-Journal | access-date = February 12, 2017}} but they were not told the actual reason that the releases were needed.
The series revealed the importance of tater tots. The meal trays frequently served tater tots to the inmates. On the show, two real inmates allegedly fought over the potato-based food, which they occasionally used as currency.{{cite AV media | title = 60 Days In: Time Out: Jail Rules | medium = TV production | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IigvCVog2yk&spfreload=5 | date = May 9, 2016 | publisher = A&E | access-date = February 12, 2017}} The Clark County Sheriff's Office held a community fundraiser where they sold T-shirts and tater tots based on the show.{{cite news|title=Clark Co.
