I found this and it kind of pulled at the heartstrings a little. I have been so focused on the "crazy" part of these women/men falling in love when these inmates, that I forgot about the falling in love part.  That these women actually can/do develop real feelings for the inmate. Having a relationship with someone in prison is like the ultimate long-distance relationship.

I am in a long distance relationship right now due to going to different colleges, but I can still call,text, and Skype him whenever I want. But the reality is that if I wanted to see him right now I could, I have that option, but these women don't. They have to wait for scheduled visits and designated calling times. That has to be very hard, marrying a murderer aside, the constant separation would be difficult for anyone, I have to respect their commitment to them.

I thought that this picture was interesting because is shows that there is a huge community of women that are married to someone behind bars.
