A new breed of participants enter the program and encounter unprecedented challenges in Sheriff Scandrett's jail.

As new participants enter the Henry County jail, they discover that the conditions in the quarantine pods are far harsher than their previous experiences in jail.

Sheriff Scandrett faces a challenge when the conditions of the Quarantine Pods take a serious toll on the participants that risk the success of the program.

The final participant enters the program while the others confront new challenges around drugs, COVID, and intense inmates.

The first participants move to general population and begin to form bonds with new inmates, while others hit their breaking point in quarantine; they learn that the men's quarantine pod is active at night.

Arriving at the limits of his patience and sanity, Chase makes a big decision; Carlos makes a run for access and status in the pod by opening up his own store, and takes Nick, a young inmate, as a protege.
