Ethical Concerns Cloud Release of Netflix Jail Experiment Docuseries

A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the upcoming Netflix docuseries "Unlocked: A Jail Experiment," filmed last year at the Pulaski County jail in Arkansas. The series, slated for release on April 10th, has sparked legal concerns from local officials after they viewed the trailer.

"Unlocked" follows a controversial social experiment granting inmates more freedom within the jail facility. Local officials, however, claim they were unaware of the full scope of the filming and are now expressing anxieties about the content of the series.
