American Idol in Prison, Coming to a TV Near You

The Investigation Discovery Channel is putting together two new reality shows set in, huh, prison: Talent Behind Bars and Dancing Behind Bars. The second is being produced by none other than reality-TV super-guru Mark Burnett. Because it’s hard to root for rapists and murderers, prisoners who have committed violent crimes will not be allowed to participate, leaving viewers to choose between drug addicts, drug dealers, white-collar criminals, etc. [Live Feed/HR]
