60 Days In Season 5 Where Are They Now
Remember that wild ride we took with 60 Days In Season 5? The Jefferson County, Arkansas jail? The constant tension? Good times (sort of!). Let's catch up with some of our favorite "inmates" and see what they're up to now – because let's be honest, we're all a little bit curious.
The Volunteers: Life After Lockup
Abner Kendrick (aka "Sheriff 2.0")
Abner, the guy who seemed like he was auditioning to actually be sheriff? Last we heard, he was back to his regular law enforcement gig. Probably giving speeches about his daring undercover adventure, and maybe, just maybe, subtly hinting he could run the whole darn prison system one day.
Brooke (aka "The Good Samaritan")
Brooke, bless her heart, really tried to make a difference. She probably went back to her life of helping others, maybe volunteering at a soup kitchen or adopting a whole bunch of rescue animals. We can totally picture her organizing a "Free Hugs" campaign at her local farmer's market.
Must Read
Jennifer (aka "The Momma Bear")
Jennifer was the tough one, always looking out for the others. It wouldn't surprise us if she started a support group for ex-cons, or wrote a self-help book titled, "How to Survive Anything: From Jail to PTA Meetings." She's probably still fiercely protecting her own cubs, real and metaphorical.
Jon (aka "The Quiet Observer")
Jon was the strong, silent type. Maybe he's become a survival expert, giving seminars on how to build a fire with only two sticks and a questionable attitude. Or, you know, maybe he's just enjoying the peace and quiet and binge-watching nature documentaries.
Monalisa (aka "The Connector")
Monalisa had a way of getting people to open up. We bet she's now a life coach or a therapist, helping people navigate their own personal prisons (you know, like bad relationships or soul-crushing jobs). Maybe she even has a podcast called "Monalisa's Musings" where she shares her wisdom with the world.
Quintin (aka "The Agitator")
Quintin, the guy who knew how to get under everyone's skin. He might be a political commentator now, stirring up controversy with his hot takes. Or maybe he's taken up improv comedy, because who better to improvise a chaotic situation than someone who lived it?
Life Lessons (and a Little Bit of Exaggeration)
Let's be real, going undercover in jail is not your average Tuesday afternoon. These volunteers experienced things most of us can only imagine (and maybe watch on reality TV!).
We can only hope they all took away some valuable life lessons. Like, maybe don't judge a book by its cover (unless that cover is covered in tattoos and gang signs). Or perhaps, that a good bar of soap can be worth its weight in gold (especially in a prison shower).
More importantly, they hopefully learned something about themselves and the justice system. And, you know, provided us with some seriously entertaining television along the way. So, thanks, 60 Days In Season 5 crew! We salute your courage, your sanity (or lack thereof), and your willingness to put yourselves in a ridiculously uncomfortable situation for our viewing pleasure.
Who knows, maybe one day they'll all reunite for a "Where Are They Now?" special. We'd definitely tune in for that! Pass the popcorn!
