Watch: A&E TV Show Exposes Ills Of Atlanta's Fulton County Jail

ATLANTA, GA -- In a stark reality TV show that shows the viewer what life is like behind bars in a metropolitan city, A&E’s “60 Days In,” based in Atlanta's Fulton County Jail, broadcasts episode 2 Friday night.

The show, in its third season, but first in Atlanta, locked up nine innocent people and exposed them to every kind of jail debauchery one can get into -- and that's just from watching the 1-minute-plus trailers.

Participants spent two months in jail, rubbing shoulders with convicts accused of murder and seeing violent fights between inmates.

Col. Mark Adger, the county's chief jailer, says in the clip: "Every day, we're dealing with murderers, gangbangers and inmates who have severe mental conditions. This jail was under federal supervision because of dangerous conditions and overcrowding." Yeah.

The show is one of many movie or TV productions that have filmed in Atlanta in recent months. Here are some of the others:

"Avengers: Infinity War"
The sequel to "The Avengers" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is shooting in metro Atlanta. Central Casting is hiring background actors, stand-ins, photo doubles and featured roles for the upcoming film. Shooting will be done April 5 & May 30 in Fayetteville.

"Den of Thieves"
If you're a fan of "Power" and "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" by 50 Cent, the rapper-turned-movie mogul TV is back with another gritty film. "Den of Thieves" is a feature film starring the rapper and Gerard Butler. The movie will center on a bank heist that goes awry for one of the criminals. Shooting is slated to begin in January 2017 in Atlanta.
"Pitch Perfect 3"
The film "Pitch Perfect 3" follows the other two films in the hugely successful franchise. The third installment of the musical comedy will star Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson & Miley Cyrus. The film is currently casting stand-ins. Shooting began January 30 in Atlanta.
