Arkansas prison experiment at center of upcoming Netflix series
PULASKI COUNTY, Ark. (KAIT/KARK) – A new reality TV show will be available soon featuring an Arkansas prison and its experiment with lock and key.
According to content partner KARK, the series, “Unlocked: A Jail Experiment,” looks into the Pulaski County County Regional Detention Facility as it executes a new experiment that requires the unlocking of prison doors to a unit of felons inside the facility.
The show will explore just what happens when locks, deputies. and guards are removed from the system, and if the prisoners’ new sense of independence helps or hurts.
“This series explores the challenges faced by jails and prisons, such as low staffing, overcrowding, and the negative stigma,” said Pulaski County Sheriff Eric Higgins. “Despite these difficulties, my team and I are working on new ways to improve our facility in order to create a safer environment for our employees and help those in our care through responsibility and accountability. Did we face obstacles? YES! However, I believe this journey will not only change the lives of the individuals involved but also challenge society’s views on incarceration and rehabilitation.”
The series will be launched on Netflix on April 10.

It’s been a bone-dry year in Arkansas. It’s now the 7th driest year on record in Little Rock since record-keeping began in 1875, as of April 20.
24 days so far this year in Little Rock have received measurable rainfall. 12 days received a trace amount of rain, meaning there were no rainfall measurements to report (it was too little to record), as it was just a sprinkle or a few spits.
Only 4 days have received an inch or more of rain so far this year. Those occurred on April 4, March 7, February 14, and January 24. January’s “rain” was really winter precipitation.
April is usually the rainiest month of the year in Arkansas. In Little Rock, April on average receives 5.59 inches of rainfall. So far this April, as of April 20, Little Rock has only recorded 1.17″ of rain for the month.
The rainfall deficit over the last 6 months is well over a foot for much of Arkansas, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and Harrison.
Spring is the rainy season, and summer is the dry season. If rain isn’t recorded soon, the drought will persist into the summer. In fact, the latest seasonal drought outlook shows that while some areas of Arkansas could see improvements, the drought continues into July.
To fully end the drought, parts of central and northeast Arkansas need more than 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. Parts of northwest Arkansas need between 15 and 20 inches of rain over the next 3 months. The rest of the state needs between 20 and 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. All of this rain would need to be received slowly, not all at one time.
The odds of receiving this much rain slowly over the next 3 months are very low.
