  • "Prison Brides" Andrea's Story on Her Unabating Love and Devotion to Cage (Part One)
    Jun 26 2025

    In the season finale, we give you part one of Andrea's story, where she opens up about how she met her incarcerated husband, Cage, and the unexpected path their love story has taken.

    From navigating the initial reactions of family and friends to building an unbreakable bond despite distance and prison walls, Andrea shares what it really means to love without borders. She talks about the emotional reality of visiting behind glass, the moment she finally had her first in-person visit, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship across international lines. Andrea's love and devotion for Cage is palatable; her admiration of his strength and dedication to growth and knowledge despite his circumstances is truly heartfelt and real.

    Plus, hear the beginning of her honest reflections on being featured in the reality show Prison Brides and what the cameras didn’t capture.

  • Thirteen Years Later, He's Home.. But Are They Ready? (QTM's Story)
    Jun 12 2025

    They were friends before he went in, running in the same circles and chasing the party. Life happened, they lost touch. Then- years into what ended up being 13 years inside- they reconnected... and reconnected again.. which triggered something to start building something real, the foundation, of what it is today.


    What is it today? Now he's home. 10 days ago. And she's feeling everything: the hope, the nerves, the pressure and the love. And trying not to expect anything, keeping herself grounded, all at the same time.


    In this episode of More Than an Inmate's Girlfriend, we follow her story in real time- just days after he comes home (he's actually in the next room!), following over a decade apart.


    This season is winding down with a few impactful episodes ahead but you won't want to miss season 2, starting this fall, when we go back and uncover the reality of months later. Are they together? Did they go back to being just friends? Or did life on the outside change everything and tear them apart?
