The blonde was immediately smitten with Maurice when she came across his profile on the dating site Plenty of Fish, but she didn't realize what she was getting herself into. 

'I actually met Maurice on a dating website, and I was like, "Oh, no. He's in prison,' she says of her husband, who was serving time for first-degree burglary.

They had only been dating for three months when he got down on one knee and proposed in prison — without a ring. After saying yes, she bought her own ring for just $2. 

While they already said 'I do' in a prison ceremony, Jessica wants to have a more elaborate wedding with their family and friends, though not everyone is on board.

'F**k tomorrow,' Maurice tells Jessica. 'You're either going to be with me or against me.'  

Shawn and Destinie, who are also from Las Vegas, quickly fell for each other when they met online. They started talking twice a day while she was in prison — but they've never actually seen each other in person.

John, who is from Cresco, Iowa, was love-struck when he connected with his convict girlfriend Kristianna online, but he may be moving too fast.  

He is planning a surprise wedding ceremony on the day of her release — without her knowledge.

Meanwhile, Scott, 51, uprooted his life in New York to move to Mississippi to be with his much-younger love Lindsey, 27, who was serving time for possession of drugs and a firearm. 

'I've never met Lindsey in person,' he admits, but that hasn't stopped him from financially supporting the former cheerleader and honor student. 

'Before I started selling drugs, I had a few older boyfriends — because they were rich,' says Lindsey, who may be using her beau for his money.

Scott plans to move Lindsey and her daughter into the dream home he is renovating to her specifications, even though it's not entirely clear if she will even be able to stay out of trouble. 

'I'm really bad at being good,' she says in the trailer. 

Scott and Lindsey aren't the only couple on the show with a massive age difference. Tyrice, who is nearly 50, was immediately smitten with his much-younger love Chandra. 

The Chicago-native was fed up with women playing games when he met the 28-year-old on a website for prison pen pals.

'The first time I saw Chanda's picture, I said, "Damn, I'm gonna tear that a** up,"' he recalls of his first encounter with the curvaceous blonde.

He is looking to settle down with Chandra when she is released in prison, but it's unclear if she is on the same page. 

And while Tyrice's three adult children are happy he has found love, they don't trust the convict he fell for online. 

'She's 28 years old. She's gonna use my daddy for his money,' his son tells him during an argument.  

'Do I look like I'd let a motherf****r use me?' Tyrice hits back.  

Meanwhile, Shavel, who is from Olathe, Kansas, was seeking companionship during his 12-year sentence for armed robbery when he met Quaylon.
