- Date: 8th September 2004
- Description:There are 200 prison marriages each year. The latest could be the Yorkshire Ripper,the last was Sion Jenkins (killer of his foster daughter,Billie Jo). Exploring the growing phenomenon of prison marriages. We find out why a free woman would marry a convicted murderer. Perpetrators of grisly and violent crimes have always attracted pen pals,and romance often develops. Whilst in the UK there are on average 200 prison marriages every year,in the USA hundreds of women are drawn to developing relationships to convicted murderers residing on Death Row. But what is the attraction to convicted killers? Is it a perversion of ordinary love in which the whole logic of romance becomes bizarrely twisted,or is it simply the logic of ordinary love in its purest form?
