I'm an educationed, hard working, grounded and responsible law abiding woman that is in love with an inmate. He stopped selling marijuana a long time ago but was caught with possession of a gun while working driving a tractor trailer. Being an ex-convict this got him 10 years in prison. Fortunately he will be released in a couple years. He wants to marry me like yesterday but I don't want to get married while he's incarcerated for different reasons. I'm not going to lie, it's tough being in such a restrained relationship. However, God is the sole strength of us riding this bid out together and I'd do it all over again because he is worth it.

My story is identical to yours, Corena Pettijohn from Tucson, Arizona. He actually was moved to the Tucson prison recently and I have been visiting him there. Unfortunately, because of the cost I can only get out there for the weekend once every few months.

I also am in love with an inmate, although our situation is a little different.

I met my inmate when I was 15 and he was my first boyfriend and best friend. We spent alot of time together and I was very close with his family.
Eventually we both went our separate ways. Years later he made a bad choice and ended up in prison and I read what had happened in the news paper. A few more years went by and I ran into his brother and eventually got an address to write him. Two months later I was approved to visit him for the first time. I continued to visit every weekend and 5 months later we were married. We've been married for a year and half now and even though I miss him very much, I couldnt be more happier, and he is the love of my life and luckily he is not serving a life sentence and will evetually come home to me.
I can relate to the things that bridget had to say.

I was quite impressed with how intelligent the author was. I would surmise that most women in a situation like this are dumb and dumpy, but clearly that is not the case here. I will be picking up a copy of her book, as my curiousity is piqued.

I am outraged at how stupid this Bridget sounds,
she sounds like a selfish, self-centered woman who
never grew out of adolescence..the way she talks
about this poor inmate makes me cringe!
Please take her off the air while you still can !
