The network that shocked you with The Osbournes and rocked you with Marilyn Manson wants to take a gritty look at crime and punishment by shooting a documentary inside the Tarrant County Jail.
A film crew could start shooting Inside, a six- to seven-week documentary for MTV, as soon as Wednesday if an agreement is approved Tuesday by the Tarrant County Commissioners Court.
The proposed series would follow one or two inmates through the judicial process, from entering a plea to getting sentenced and completing the jail term.
