In the final episode, Spurlock is also a participant as he turns the camera on himself and goes to "Jail."

"The topics for this season of 30 Days are the most pressing social issues facing our country," said executive producer R.J. Cutler. "While the media covers them in broad strokes, 30 Days presents these issues in real terms with real people living well outside of their comfort zones."

• Episode 1 "Immigration" - A gun-toting, border-patrolling Minuteman, experiences what it is like to be an illegal immigrant when he's stripped of all forms of identification and moves in with a family of undocumented immigrants for one month.
