I remember posting a blog about a reality show in the making that focused around the lives of women who were married to men doing time in prison (no Phaedra Parks was not on the show). Well, it looks like several years later, a show of the same concept will be airing and it’s found a home on the Lifetime network.
According to Lifetime the new docuseries “Prison Wives Club” follows four women living with their decisions to fall in love with and remain married to convicted felons. While facing judgment from their friends and families, each episode explores how these women struggle to find normalcy despite their unconventional choices when it comes to the men in their lives. Restricted to limited contact with their spouses who are serving sentences ranging from 10 years to life, the ladies band together for support; but this group comes with its own sentence as they don’t always agree on how to behave as a wife on the “outside.”
Meet The Cast:
Ana – Ana met her husband through a website and secretly wed him, believing he was in prison for life. With parole a suddenly new possibility, Ana must finally tell her family the truth and face the consequences of her decision.
Jhemini – Jhemini tries to be the perfect prison wife, though she has yet to reveal her husband’s situation to her conservative family and struggles with the double life she leads.
Kate – Growing up, Kate developed a penchant for bad boys, and after her husband’s incarceration she was abandoned by some of her closest friends.
LaQuisha – LaQuisha, who has not yet consummated her marriage to her convict husband, is raising a young daughter as a single parent.
Lifetime has already ordered eight episodes for this season. Will you be watching when the show premieres Tuesday at 10/9c?
This has been a great show so far.
Definitely. One of my favorites.
Me too!
Reading this over again is worth the time. I am going to watch it again later.
