When you’re incarcerated, falling in love with prison staff or volunteers is prohibited. But… it happens. And it happened to Erin and Lisa, who then had to negotiate the joys and pitfalls of romance inside San Quentin.
A heads-up: this episode contains discussion of domestic violence — listener discretion is advised.
Thanks to Allyson West for talking with us, and to Erin for talking twice.
