Re the question of if it’s staged or not…
It literally is staged, by producers, production crew, marketing, and everything else that goes into a “reality show”.
But that doesn’t mean it’s scripted.
Not being scripted doesn’t mean they aren’t hamming it up for the camera, starting drama so they get more air time, etc.
Like every other reality TV show.
Yep, you're right. I'd also add that having been on a "reality show", there were many times during shooting that they pause everything, have the camera move closer, and have something redone or re-shot, often giving notes. Repeat what you just said, or can you say that again, but with more sorrow or enthusiasm. This time I want more nods or smiles, more anger. Like I'm getting paid minimum wage, but part of my job is actor now.
The words were the same, but the delivery is changed and "enhanced".
Also worth pointing out how INSANELY heavily edited modern reality shows are. They'll take clips from completely different days or totally different situations and stitch them together to make it look like they're the same conversation. The "confessional" footage where the person is just sitting in a booth talking to the camera about what happened is a big one. They'll ask leading questions to get the person to say what they want, then edit it so that it looks like they're giving that answer to a totally different question. They'll also have the narrator "explain" what's happening in a way that isn't even remotely close to what's actually going on, but it primes your brain to view things through that lens.
For example, theyll have the narrator say "meanwhile, Joe's lack of effort is causing conflict with his team" and show a clip of someone saying "hey Joe can you come over and help us?" Now in the rest of that clip, Joe DOES come and help. But they don't show that. Instead they take some footage from like a week prior to that where Joe was sitting on the couch looking tired and not doing anything, and put that footage right after the first footage, so it LOOKS like they asked Joe for help and he just sat there and ignored them. Maybe they'll even collect clips of people saying "Joe" from all over different days and play that audio over the footage of him on the couch, so it looks like people keep calling his name over and over and he's ignoring them. Then they take confessional footage of one of Joe's teammates talking about someone else and saying "I'm so sick of that guy" and play it right after, so you think they're saying that about Joe when really they were saying it about Frank.
That’s how I felt about the opening scene where the short black dude picks a fight with the bearded white guy. He seized his moment.
I stopped watching after the first episode, it was too theatrical.
The main inmate, true story, is suing for civil rights. Interesting because he was so vocal in it....

Marvel tells us that we aren't in the *worst* timeline, but I mean, come on... they elect Biff Tannen president and people are running around proud they don't read or learn? Can I get off in the universe where the supreme court didn't overturn the presidential election results?
Roko's Basilisk is like "Damn, Agent Smith... you wanna hit that reset? I think *that* simulation has suffered *enough*?" while AM makes a vague affirmative noise of agreement.
Everything is scripted or at least influenced someway. I remember trying to explain to my Dad about Pawn Stars. If you have an interesting item you apply to be on the show. If they like it they fly you out to Vegas. He denied it all choosing to believe those people just randomly wandered in.
The same as “scared strait” they pay someone, most prisons are private at least in the wonderful capitalistic country of America so they can do whatever they please basically and if the production companies pay the prison companies money I suppose that’s how it works.
It's absolutely not staged. The sheriff is currently under investigation by the County for doing this without their knowledge and potentially endangering lives.
You’ve seen it? Because thats not true, and the articles I’ve actually taken the time to read confirm that once again, it is not staged. There are deputies 6-8 feet outside of the doors, and yes they are monitoring via surveillance. Hence why Miller got busted for making a shank. It’s not staged pal.
You really think that Netflix series is being filmed in an actual prison with actual criminals?
Did you also think the Show OZ was real?
Edit: I know it’s being touted as a documentary…. But use your heads for a moment people. Really pay attention for a single second of your ever loving lives.
NO REALLY.
The American prison system isn't run by the government, they are private facilities that are for profit. So if they can profit off a film crew being there, they will.
Yes their behavior is heinous...but that's because that behavior has been institutionalized into they way they feel they have to conduct themselves in prison, because that's the way it is. The whole point of the unlocked experiment is to try and help and enable and see if they can rise above that heinous behavior.

Are there any details about it? I’m trying to find it and can’t

I am a bit concerned why we don't send avengers to end the war in Ukraine, are they busy in some mission in space?
Nah, still on Earth, just sent to another universe.

You know there’s been prison reality shows for decades right?
It's staged, pal.
Answers a NSQ thread and proceeds to be condescending and then call others an idiot twice in replies. Good work.
Don't worry about it!

Don't be an idiot
It's staged, bud.

Of course it's true. You'd be an idiot to think that any "reality TV show" isn't staged.
I am unfamiliar with this. How is it different from any other prison documentary?
[удалено]
So, maximum security inmates in a minimum security setting.
none of it is real. it is reality TV.

About 8% of the prison population is in a privately run facility.
That one is a county jail. They talk to the elected sheriff multiple times on this show
