The new A&E docuseries Inmate to Roommate will follow recently released inmates as they re-enter society by moving in with people they don’t really know.
The trailer for the series shows a group of ex-convicts adjusting to their new living arrangements. After viewing a seemingly endless list of house rules, one former inmate asks, “What the hell did I get myself into here?”
Later in the trailer a woman becomes frustrated and yells, “You ain’t gotta go home, but you gotta leave here!”
Here’s the official description for the show: “Both the former inmates and their respective roommates will enter this new living arrangement with their own baggage. The opportunities and the challenges are complex as they each face scrutiny from friends and family questioning their motives.”
The series is produced by Sharp Entertainment, a part of Sony Pictures Television, for A&E. Executive producers for Sharp Entertainment include Matt Sharp, Dan Adler and Laura Korkoian with Joseph Ruzer as co-executive producer. Elaine Frontain Bryant, Shelly Tatro and Jonathan Partridge serve as executive producers for A&E.
Inmate to Roommate is scheduled to premiere Thursday, Aug. 18 at 10pm ET/PT on A&E, right after the new season of 60 Days In debuts at 9pm ET/PT.

Are they all totally batshit??
The real question is: what KIND of ex-cons will be on the show? I doubt it would be some serial killer or murders, right? If so, your judgement isn’t welcomed.. Sometimes people make HORRILE mistakes and they obviously paid for it in jail. Now, they want to move on with a better life. What if this was one of your family members???? Food for your thoughts!
