The Docket 05.25.23: Incarceration franchises and Nancy Grace

"60 Days In," Pacey Witter, and hard-hair blondes

the true crime that's worth your time

60 Days In gets a spin-off; the “thin candy shell of compassion”; Scared Straight + “look at these fuckers” = Booked; Dan Abrams rationalization bias; how to get nineties arrest records; Joshua Jackson’s true-crime choices; “newscaster English” and code-switching; does ubiquity mean greater responsibility?

• the Arts & Entertainment network (lol) presents Booked

• that time SDB avoided election coverage with a Life After Lockup-athon

• there’s only three sure things in life: death, taxes, and the disingenuity of Dan Abrams
