The second season of "60 Days In" will feature eight new undercover inmates under Sheriff Jamey Noel's program. Just like Season 1 of the A&E docuseries, the upcoming episodes will showcase the undercover inmates attempting to obtain evidence of suspicious or illegal activities that escape the sights of the prison's officials and surveillance systems.
The "60 Days In" new undercover inmates at the Clark County Jail, also known as the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex, are Ashleigh, Brian, Chris, Dion, Quintin, Monalisa, Ryan, and Sheri, TV Series Finale listed. Hundreds of cameras planted all over the jail will follow the volunteers' every move for 60 days.
"60 Days In" Season 2 volunteers have already finished their stint in the jail before prison staff and officers were informed of the program. This is to ensure the program's secrecy and the participants' safety,
At the moment, the Clark County Jail has around 500 prisoners with charges including drug dealing and capital murder. As reported by People, listed below is what you need to know about the new "60 Days In" undercover inmates.

The performance of "60 Days In" Season 1 participants was deemed as a hit-and-miss, according to TVRuckus. Some of the volunteers, which ranged from a police officer to a teacher, excelled in their tasks and discovered faults in the prison's system. Others, however, weren't much help at all.
By the end of "60 Days In" Season 1, Sheriff Noel believes that they have "touched a lot of lives," a separate report from TVRuckus noted. Elaine Frontain Bryant, A&E EVP and head of programming, said the show perfectly encapsulates the network's "unique brand of disruptive non-fiction storytelling that takes viewers outside of their comfort zone," Variety reported. Season 2 of "60 Days In" has a 2-hour premiere event on A&E on Thursday, August 18 at 9 PM and 10 PM ET/PT.
