In this Valentine’s-themed episode of A Prisonwife Podcast, Paige and Gigi dive into the complicated crossroads of love, true crime, and life as a prison wife. From heart-shaped chocolates and collect calls to the way true crime culture romanticizes inmates and relationships, the ladies unpack what Valentine’s Day really feels like when the person you love is behind the walls.
They talk honestly about how true crime impacts prison relationships, the emotional disconnect between entertainment and real lives, and the unseen side of loving someone the world only knows through headlines. With vulnerability, humor, and a whole lot of truth, Paige and Gigi explore love that doesn’t fit the fairy-tale mold — especially on a holiday built around romance.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever loved deeply, questioned the narratives we consume, or wondered what Valentine’s Day looks like when love has limits, rules, and resilience.
