A film crew from Discovery Channel recently moved through the halls of the Leake County Regional Correctional Facility and followed a deputy from Leake County Sheriff’s Office, cameras in tow, intent on capturing the daily realities that most folks never see. Now, their work will be broadcast to a national audience, with Leake County featured in an upcoming episode of 120 Hours Behind Bars.
Tune-In Monday, January 19 at 9 PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel for the Series Premiere of 120 HOURS BEHIND BARS.
Over five intense days, 120 Hours Behind Bars delivers an unfiltered look inside America’s toughest jails, where officers are outnumbered, cellblocks are overcrowded, and violence erupts without warning.
In the season premiere, Louisiana’s Washington Parish Jail is over-capacity and on the brink of spiraling into chaos. The new sheriff and his deputies struggle to bring stability and control in the face of a crumbling facility.
Viewers can join the conversation on social media by following Discovery on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok for more updates.
