We’re prison wives & are constantly trolled – haters say there must be something wrong with us & we have low self esteem

A PAIR of prison wives have opened up on the judgement they regularly face as a result of being married to men behind bars. Paige Nicole and Gigi Taylor both tied the knot to men who will die behind bars, with Paige's husband Joseph serving a life sentence, and Gigi's husband Michael on death row.

Both women met their husbands through pen pal websites when they were already in prison, and say that their relationships are worth it, despite not being able to be with their partners physically. The duo share a podcast called Love Within Walls, and in a recent episode, the pair talked about all things judgement and stereotypes.

The prison wives explained that they face judgement from all angles - including from friends, family and people in the street. Gigi claimed: “God lord do we experience [judgement] or what.”. To this, Paige agreed: “All the time, no matter what, no matter where.”.
Gigi then explained: “I experience judgment. People found out in my family and I got judged in every which way. “The judgment comes from every angle. Not only do we get judgment from family, friends, co-workers, people you meet on the street, we also get judgement from our own, sadly, the prison wife community. We get judged for being MWI (met while incarcerated).
“People can't understand why you would go looking for love in a prison or why you would seek it out - because maybe you have low self esteem, you can’t find a guy on the street, that’s the stigma and stereotype that goes with being a prison wife.”.
