First Week In: Description : Discovery has ordered a new jail-based reality show that’s like the classic documentary Scared Straight — except the terrified newbie criminals don’t necessarily get to leave. The series is titled First Week In. The show follows convicted criminals, some of whom have never been arrested before, from their final moments of freedom to their first interactions with violent offenders to their struggles to try and get out of jail. The show includes commentary from police officers and guards and walks viewers through the legal process.
