A&E’s “Booked: First Day In” takes viewers on a ride-along through the often-chaotic world of the American jail system. This Wednesday’s episode, “Down in Flames,” takes that chaos to a new level – literally. In one storyline, a raging forest fire threatens a jail facility in Hancock County, creating a logistical nightmare for the staff and a whole new kind of fear for the inmates.
Meanwhile, in Virginia Beach, an intoxicated exotic dancer leads police on a wild, 30-minute car chase, eventually landing herself behind bars. “Booked: First Day In” gives viewers a front-row seat to the booking process, capturing the raw, unfiltered reality of people from all walks of life as they enter the jail system.
From minor offenses to major crimes, the series documents the first 24 hours of an arrestee’s journey through the legal system, offering a look at the human stories behind the mugshots.
Tune in to A&E on Wednesday, May 7th at 10:00 PM ET for a look at the unpredictable world of “Booked: First Day In.”
