"Inmate to Roommate" follows recently released inmates as they re-enter society and move in with everyday people. The opportunities and the challenges are complex as they each face scrutiny from friends and family questioning their motives. Will this new situation allow the formerly incarcerated to successfully re-enter society or will it be the worst decision both parties have ever made?
Eight ordinary Americans have made an extreme choice: opening their home to a roommate just released from prison. These individuals have a singular goal- help the former inmate re-enter society and stay out of prison.
Shortly after Darquavion moves into Henry's house, he goes missing. Mark takes Bill for a driving lesson and learns about his pre-lockup getaway skills.
Sparks fly as Kyle and Sandra lay down the list of guidelines for released inmate Nick. We meet Tiffane, who's taking in Ari, a young woman finishing up her four-and-a-half-year sentence for identity theft and bank fraud.
Tiffane and her friend/naysayer, Quinn, pick up Arielle from prison and tensions boil on the ride home. After Darquavion's family friend visits him at Henry's house, an explosive conversation about values is sparked.
Henry, Darquavion and Uncle Joe's conversation about calling the police, quickly turns explosive. Bill prepares to visit his girlfriend in California but not before Sharna gets into a war of words with him.
