It’s also important to keep in mind that Inmate to Roommate is on A&E, which is a network known for reality shows that are filmed in a docuseries style rather than with a dramatic flair like shows on TLC or MTV.

It is produced by Sharp Entertainment, which is also behind shows like 90 Day Fiancé, however, so it wouldn’t be a huge shock if some scenes are filmed multiple times or producers sway some of the show’s participants in certain directions to elicit responses from others.
