Metalbond’s favorite: Law-enforcement-themed reality TV

Got your DVR handy? Here’s my viewing list:

  • 60 Days in
  • Alaska State Troopers
  • Cops
  • Lockdown
  • Lockup
  • Locked Up Abroad
  • Jail
  • Southern Justice
  • To Catch a Smuggler
  • Border Patrol

What shows am I missing? What are you DVR-ing?

If you ask me, Alaska State Troopers is probably my favorite. Not only are the officers smoking hot, but the have great haircuts and well-fitting uniforms. I also think they are really good at what they do, treating people with respect and de-escalating situations and handling moose. Plus it’s awesome to see the wilderness and I love the deadpan narration. And did I mention they are hot? And they have cuffs.

 

Busman’s Holiday – Part 01

By lthr_jock

Clark walked down the cell block, glaring at the inmates who were still out of the cells his presence usually enough to send then scurrying out of his way. He could best be described as a bull of a man – 6-foot-4, barrel chested and with thick arms and legs from repeated workouts. Although he was in his 40s he was still in remarkably good condition with hardly any fat on his body. He kept his hair neatly trimmed though not shaved like some of his colleagues did. The inmates new better than to cross him – he knew where all of the security cameras were and he was able to inflict pain swiftly and violently when he decided to.

Clark was definitely an old school prison guard. He didn’t believe in all the modern crap about rehabilitation – as far as Clark was concerned, prison should be true punishment. If it was up to him, inmates would be in distinctive prison garb, doing hard labour and be in shackles all the time. His mind drifted to the collection of iron restraints he had in his cellar at home – if only he was allowed to use those on the inmates, he would have a much easier time!

USS New Jersey brig

What kind of pervert would take a tour of a famous battleship, then head right for the BRIG? A Metalbond reader, of course. Check out the picture below and the information sent in by an anonymous reader of this blog:

Dear Metal,

The New Jersey was very cool. I took the self-guided tour, and enjoyed the berthing areas, Marines’ compartments — and the brig. There are no sinks or toilets in the brig cells, so the prisoners have to be escorted by a Marine to the head. I’m guessing they’re cuffed and/or shackled for the excursion. There are three cells right next to each other, each just barely bigger than the fold down bunk. Inmates were only served bread and water in the brig, for up to three days. If longer than three days, they were escorted by the Marines to the mess deck.
