CRIME+INVESTIGATION MARCH PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

THE JAIL: 60 DAYS IN

Fridays from 13^th March at 21.00

For the first time in The Jail: 60 Days In history, more participants struggle to survive the intense program and are forced to quit the program early, as the newly elected Sheriff takes over one of the worst facilities the series has ever seen.

After two decades, the Etowah County Detention Center in Alabama is under new management and the newly elected Sheriff is determined to make a change. In his first week, he decided to shakedown the facility and in one day alone, found more than 200 broken door locks, drugs and removed more than two tons of contraband. With no time to lose, Sheriff Horton along with Chief Peek and select members of their team have agreed to embed innocent participants to uncover the issues that plague the facility.

This season, the participants will face the biggest challenge of their lives in an effort to rid a jail, that is in dire need of help, of contraband and corruption before it is too late. S6 (17x60)

SURVIVING R. KELLY PART II : THE RECKONING

Brand new episodes continue every Wednesday at 22.00

The original, ground breaking documentary-series Surviving R. Kelly was based on the theme of ‘hiding in plain sight’. Kelly's music itself often acted as a near confession to the constant rumours that were circulating. Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning will continue to tell the story with a three day special. Following the release of SRK, the world has been shattered by our survivors stories, with people around the globe rallying around them as everyone calls for justice. With recent developments in the case, new tapes surfacing, and a possible arrest, the present-day investigations will be the spine of the new documentary special. But in order to understand what's currently at stake, we'll dive deeper than ever before as to how R. Kelly escaped previous trials and into larger, intellectual themes that surrounded the case both then & now. (5x60)
