Netflix to Release Highly Anticipated Documentary on Arkansas Razorbacks Following a Surprising Discovery
The new series “Unlocked: A Jail Experiment” premieres early next month on Netflix and highlights an experiment at the Pulaski County jail. Today, Governor Sarah Sanders issued a statement saying the “experiment” is reckless. “This is a reckless decision by the Pulaski County Sheriff and highlights the need for our new state prison to keep repeat violent offenders off our streets and our communities. The film company Lucky 8 documented 46 inmates in an experiment. During the time, the inmates were unguarded in an attempt to see if they could manage themselves. Questions on legality began to surface as the County Judge said he never signed off on the project and only found out about it when Netflix released the trailer. Sheriff Eric Higgins signed a “location release” with the crew to film at the jail back in 2022, saying that he had the authority to allow the camera crew into the facility. The series is set to premier on the streaming channel on April 10th.

In addition to the player interviews, “The Hog Wild Truth” incorporates archival footage from the 1964 season, including game highlights, locker room scenes, and behind-the-scenes moments.
