What is it like to fall in love through the bars of a prison cell?

Over the course of five years, Elizabeth Greenwood interviewed five couples in which at least one partner was incarcerated. In Love Lockdown, she reveals the fascinating and often painful insights these couples have to share about keeping love alive in a loveless place. A sort of Modern Love: Prison Edition, Greenwood shows the authentic faces of the husbands and wives supporting some of the 2.3 million people incarcerated in the United States, and explores the challenges one faces as an incarcerated person loving someone on the outside.

Love Lockdown infiltrates spaces many of us have only heard whispers of, from conjugal visit trailers to prison weddings and beyond. We sit across a visiting room table from a woman convicted of a double homicide, and read letters between serial killer Richard Ramirez and a former groupie. Running the gamut in terms of sexual orientation, race, and circumstances of incarceration, these couples illustrate how desire and delusion are reflected in complex relationships as we witness underreported elements of the American prison system.
