Welcome to For the Lives of Prison Wives!  This site is dedicated to those women who are providing support to their loved ones that are incarcerated.  I salute you!  The journey is not for everyone and that’s ok.  

I decided to create this blog to share my personal experience with an incarcerated loved one in hopes of encouraging those that are in similar situations.  My husband is incarcerated and is currently serving a 22 1/2 year sentence. We have been together for 21 years.  Eleven of those years, he has been incarcerated and four of those years we have been married.  It has not been an easy journey but it has been one of ups, downs, pains, gains and growth for the both of us.  We are taking time to share our journey from both sides of the “wall” as husband, wife and parents, as we face the day to day hardships of maintaining a family in hopes of bringing awareness to the impact of harsh sentences on families.  Our hope is that you will be encouraged, supported, and aware as we share our 13 year journey through the wall.  Just know that you are not alone!

************************************UPDATE**********************************

My husband was released from prison after serving 14.5 years!!  He received 6 years off of his sentence due to the drug minus two law and a two week early release from the halfway house due to the First Step Act in 2019.  We have been adjusting to life after prison for the last year and a half.  

I wrote a book, Prayers of a Prison Wife: Thirty Prayers for Your Incarcerated Husband, towards the end of my husband’s sentence.  These are prayers that I prayed during his incarceration that helped us get through this journey.  Stay tuned for the latest addition to For the Lives of Prison Wives LLC coming soon.

Thanks for your support and we will continue to provide you with support through your journey.  Follow us on ig @forlives_prisonwives, YouTube, and of course the Loyal Ladies fb group.
