Private Notes
In the first of two immersive documentaries for BBC Three, Reggie Yates enters Bexar County Jail in Texas, to experience what it's like to be an inmate in the American criminal justice system, and understand how prisoners with mental health problems are treated behind bars
A year after spending a week living as an inmate, Reggie is heading back to jail. Only this time, he’s working as a guard. Based inside Guildford County Jail in North Carolina, Reggie helps guard nearly a thousand prisoners – whose crimes range from minor misdemeanors to murder. What is it like working in a system operating under unprecedented scrutiny? And having seen incarceration from the other side sides – will he feel part of the solution? Or part of the problem?
