Douglas County 'Beyond Scared Straight' to Air Thursday

The first of two episodes will feature the old Douglas County jail.

Episode 1 of 2 featuring the Douglas County Sheriff's Departments will air on Thursday, July 25 at 10 p.m. on A&E, according to the Sheriff's Facebook page.
This episode will feature the old jail. 

"We have not heard when the second episode featuring the new jail will air," reads the page.

The episode was originally slated for a July 18 air date.

This episode of A&E's "Beyond Scared Straight" will feature two sisters who "defy both inmates and deputies."

"Once their mother has an emotional breakdown," according to the teaser on A&E's website, "their eyes are opened to the pain they have caused."

Some scenes were filmed at the old jail late last summer and fall, according to the Sheriff's Office. Other scenes were filmed earlier this spring at the new jail.
