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.

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.
—from a reader
Metal would like to thank the reader for sharing this brig picture. Anyone else who has experience with a brig is invited to get in touch via email!
