    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 !

    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 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.
