[Svea] My name is Svea.
I live in Duesseldorf, Germany.

So I'm gonna visit Joseph
for the very first time.

[Joseph] I'm serving
an 11-year prison sentence

for armed robbery, assault,
and possession of a firearm.

[Svea] Yes.

There's no way
that this beautiful girl...

I'm really excited.

...halfway across the world

would be interested
in your ugly ass.

[Svea]
If this is not working out,

I will never, ever talk
to a prisoner again.

[Erin] My name is Erin.

I'm living in Australia now,
but in a few days

I will be relocating
and moving to Ohio

to live with my boyfriend,

who's gonna be released
from prison.

Australia's great, but it's just
not where I want to be.

I wanna be there with him.

I was convicted of robbery,

burglary, receiving
stolen property.

I was sentenced
to eight and a half years.

[Erin]
What's at stake when I move

is everything
that I've worked for here.

Job, money, friends and family.
It's all gone.

Starting fresh again
in another country.

[woman]
I'm saying this as a friend.

It's really uprooting
your whole life

for a man
that you only met once.

[Erin] I have my entire life
in two suitcases.

-[woman] Are you ready?
-[Erin] Don't have a choice now.

[Michael] Having somebody come
all the way across the world

from Australia
for somebody like me,

it takes a strong person.

No!

I just moved
from another country.

What Erin doesn't know is,
in a gift that was given to her

is an engagement ring
that Michael picked out.

When he gets out,

he will be proposing
to her straightaway.

[cell doors buzz]

[dramatic music playing]

[cries]

[Michael] In the distance
I could see Erin,

and I see my brother,

and I don't know
how to explain it,

express that feeling.

But it's the feeling
of knowing that I'm free,

and I didn't want
to turn around and look back.

Yeah.

Hi!

-[cries]
-[Michael] Hi, baby.

[Michael] The first feeling
for me when I stepped out

and after everything,

just, like, big relief.

It's like it's finally over.

[Erin] Hug your brother now.
I'll let you.

What's up, my man?

Yeah.

[Erin] You okay?

I'm thinking about Mom
coming out that door.

It's just...

[Erin] Oh, honey.

Even though I'm happy,

it hurts to see him hurting.

I know he feels
such immense guilt

because he couldn't be there
with his mom

before she passed.

And he's had to spend so long
pushing those emotions down.

And now it's just coming up.

And I hope that I'm a good
support for him.

I can't take it back,
what I lost.

I [bleep] it up.

I'm sorry.

Because of my actions,
you missed time with me,

and I missed time with you.

I just hope you know
how much I loved you.

That's your stuff in there.

I don't know if you want
to change your shirt, or...

-I'd like to just go, actually.
-Okay.

-I love you.
-Love you too.

Ooh!

You're so [bleep] handsome.

-[laughs]
-Your eyes are so [bleep] blue.

Yeah, they are.

[exhales] Oh, man.

[Erin]
I've got him in the car,

and I can't take him back now.

I was just ready to go.

I was really ready to go.

What the [bleep]
smells like mothballs?

That's me. That's what I--
That's my cologne.

[laughs]

[Erin] Driving along with him
and being able to hold his hand

for the first time,
that would have been

the longest
we'd ever held hands.

It's strange how comfortable
everything felt

so quickly.

It just felt normal.

I want to get changed,
if I can,

and I'd really like
to just throw this stuff away.

I could not wait
to take the prison clothes off,

because I feel like, to me,
there's a stench

that comes from incarceration.

And the last thing you want
to do is ever smell it again.

Being able to wear real clothes
again and feel like that,

like, it just felt good.

The thought of me proposing
too in the next hour

is running through my mind too.

Hopefully, it works out
the way I want.

[birds chirping]

[upbeat electronic music
playing]

[Andreea]
My name is Andreea.

I am 25 years old.

I am studying business
and management.

I am from Romania,
and I live in London.

Thank you.

I came across this website
"WriteaPrisoner."

So I was thinking it's a dating
website initially,

but I was going through

and I was just going
out of curiosity.

And then I came across Cage.

I saw his picture.

I read his info.

I ended up writing him

because I wanted to know
more about him as a person.

My name is Cage,

and I am from Lubbock, Texas.

I am 27 years old.

I was sentenced to 50 years
for an aggravated robbery.

When she wrote her letter,
she sent pictures.

And not only was she beautiful,
she was so intelligent, smart.

I felt like I was comfortable
just reading her first letter.

I read it like five times.

The first time I met Andreea
was beautiful,

We saw each other
through a glass,

and we just run into each other,

and we were kissing
through the glass.

It felt so natural,

like I've never felt
in my life with anyone.

We started falling
for each other pretty quick.

And I was like, yeah,
this is a miracle.

This is meant to be.

[Andreea] We already feel like
we've been married

for a long time.

But we just want
to make it official.

I have a very close
relationship with my parents.

But we are very different
in everything.

-Andreea, salad.
-[Andreea] Thank you.

They have been married
for over 20 years.

They never thought
their daughter

is gonna marry someone
that's in prison

that has such a long sentence.

Wait, Dad.
What about wine? Perfect.

The ceremony, I think it's gonna
be up to an hour and a half,

two hours.

I'm not sure yet.

Yeah, it's just a month away.

[Vanessa]
I think it's gonna be beautiful.

What do you guys think
about the wedding?

If you're happy, it's fine.

[Andreea] I know it might
be hard for you,

and it's not a normal situation.

But, you know, it makes me happy

that you guys are understanding.

I know.

Yeah.

But this is a reality.

For more than three years now?
No? I guess.

It's about to be three years.
It's a long time.

Forever to go.

Let's see
how it's gonna be after.

Yeah.

Of course.

We try to be positive
and to not think in 40 years,

because 40 years,
oh my God, we don't know

if we're gonna be in the life
after 40 years.

It's such a hard situation.

[Andreea]
So after the wedding,

I'll have to get back to London.

[cell phone rings]

[operator]
An inmate at Telford Unit.

You may start
the conversation now.

Hey, baby.

I'm just here.
You're on speaker.

We're just having dinner
with my mom and my dad.

-And Vanessa's here.
-Hi, Cage.

-[Geta] Hi, Cage.
-Hello. Hi.

[Andreea] How are you feeling
about the wedding approaching?

I know.

My dad is crying.

Oh, gosh.

I hope so.

[Andreea] Oh, all right.

Okay, baby. Be safe.
I love you.

Good night, baby.
Phone me later. Love you.

Bye. Good night.

[Cage] Bye.

It's tough for us. I don't know
if it's tough for you.

Regardless of what
you guys say,

I'm still gonna do
what I feel like I should do.

I get why they get
so emotional

and they overthink.

And at the end of the day,

my parents haven't
had a relationship like mine.

And it's not something
I expect them to understand.

It's my life, and I choose
to live my life as I want.

Yeah, you were...

For him, I would wait
as long as I have to.

Even if he would never come home
I would still wait for him,

because I love him.

[Alexandru]

[Andreea] You know, it will
happen when it has to happen.

-He makes me happy so it's--
-We prefer different happiness,

like to see you with a family,
enjoy with the children.

It's hard to understand
for everybody

that's not in this situation.

Period.

[laid-back music playing]

Mama!

So the last time I've seen
Joseph was five months ago.

And there are days
that I just miss him terribly.

And then it's really hard.

But in two days, he gets out.

I'm so, so excited.

It's finally gonna happen.

Joseph's gonna be released soon,

and I will be traveling
to pick him up.

I still can't believe it,
that it's gonna happen.

Yeah, I can imagine.

Me thinking about him
walking out the door

is just full excitement.

Still, I can't really believe
that it's gonna happen

because I've never seen him
in the free world.

It's gonna be amazing.

He's definitely
gonna be overwhelmed.

So I'm happy that he has
his family to, you know,

support him.

I hope they do that.

Now the day comes that Joseph
will be released from prison.

And that is what they have
been waiting for so long.

I'm happy that, you know,
we just got the date.

And then from this point on,
this whole prison thing

is just gonna be in the past
and we can just, you know,

leave it behind, and we got
the opportunity to...

-Look forward.
-Yes.

[Joseph]
When I get out of here,

I want to be the best boyfriend
I can be.

I want to be the best fiance
I can be.

I want to be the best husband,
and then the best father.

I'm really, really excited

to see how life
is gonna be with him.

You know, being physically
next to me.

I hope that whole chapter
will be past forever.

-Yes, me too.
-Temptations are everywhere.

Our future plans are,
when he gets out of prison,

Joseph needs to complete
his parole.

And he needs to move
over to Germany.

I'm not moving
to the United States.

And since we want
to have a family,

somebody needs to move,
and that's gotta be him.

I hope everything
is going to be fine.

Even I don't know him
personally.

But she's already nervous.
Of course she's nervous.

-That's really an adventure.
-It is.

The whole thing.

[Svea] It is.

[uplifting music playing]

-[laughing]
-[Vanessa] One, two, three.

-[cork pops]
-[both laugh]

Next month, I'm flying to Texas
to marry Cage.

And it's my bachelorette party.

Cheers.

[laughing]

Thank you so much for coming.
I love you.

[laughing]

Oh, my God, I'm so in love.

Like, I never knew
what that feeling was until him.

I love who he is.

His personality,
his view on life.

I grew up thinking that
my wedding is gonna be huge.

And it's gonna be either
on the beach,

or this big venue
with over 200 people.

But I wouldn't change anything,
because I want Cage.

So he's in there, so we're gonna
get married in prison.

Well, it's going to be
just different.

Like, there's only two people
maximum that can be there.

My parents won't be able
to come.

We're not gonna have
a lot of time together.

Maybe like an hour,
an hour and a half.

-I'm not sure.
-Oh, really?

And after that,
I don't know for sure

if we will be allowed to have,
like, a little time together.

Just you two.

Well, not really.
With the officer there.

I told you, we can't have sex.

-But you're gonna be married.
-[Andreea] I know.

But the most we can do
is just touch each other.

-Hold hands?
-Hold hands and--

-What about kissing?
-And kissing, of course.

I thought that once you get
married you were allowed to...

I wish.

[Ana] I don't think
that would work for me

because I would need time

to know someone
on a physical level as well.

[Andreea] I would love
to be physical with my man,

but my love for him
is deeper than a physical touch.

But it's not easy.

When I heard his voice,
oh my God.

-[all laugh]
-That was it.

We don't agree on everything,
and I think that's beautiful.

You don't have to agree.

It would be boring

if you agree on everything.

But we have similar interests,
like he loves traveling.

His favorite city was Rome

which I took him
for his birthday.

Well, I took him.
I went there by myself.

Took pictures.

-So you took yourself to Rome.
-Yeah, I took myself to Rome.

Take pictures, send it to him.

Yeah. You know.

I do hope he gets
an early release.

[Andreea] I never think
of the 50-year mark.

I believe in miracles,

and I believe
that things can change

and things can get better.

I think I was born for him.

I was born to love him.

And, um, he's my angel.

[laughs]

Oh, gosh, I never cry.

[upbeat music playing]

[Erin] Are you able to get my
bag and get my lip balm out?

What's this? Mace?

-Mace? Perfume!
-Oh.

Mace.

[both laugh]

I see that thing back there.

What is that, the gift?

-Yeah.
-Old Bekki gift?

Her friend Bekki
went and got the ring for me,

And she packed it in a gift

that was supposed
to be a housewarming gift

for her and I, and she
wanted us to open it together

after I got out.

So I tried to downplay the gift
like it wasn't a big deal.

Does it still smell nice?

Yeah, it smells... Yeah.

-It's not really heavy.
-No.

And it's, like, the size box,
I'm like, "Is it a candle?"

But she said it's for our house.

Sometimes, I worry that maybe
things will change

because I do have
to remind myself

that I think Michael will need
a period of adjustment.

I feel like I get
really excited thinking,

"Oh, great, he's out now.

We can do all these things
that we planned."

And I can't even imagine

how overwhelming
this would be.

We'll just have to take it
day by day.

Michael really wants to go
to the botanical gardens.

His mom really liked it there.

[Michael]
It's a really beautiful place.

But, yeah,
this place is beautiful.

-[Erin] It's really pretty.
-[Michael] It's quiet.

-It's nice.
-I like the quiet.

There's no crime scene tape--
Oh, wait.

[laughs] No.

[Erin] So nice to just be able
to walk around,

taking it all in,

and spend time together.

We have to open
Bekki's present.

Is that what you want to do?
Open it?

-Yeah.
-We can.

Well, she wanted us both
to open it.

-But you can open it.
-No, you go ahead.

[Erin] Okay.

So Bekki's my friend
from Australia.

And she's given me a gift

for me and Michael to open.

I can't wait to open it.

-It does say "candles" on it.
-Oh, it does?

[dramatic music playing]

Oh, [bleep].

It's little.

Oh, [bleep]. Oh, [bleep].

[dramatic music playing]

[Michael] Erin can love
something and love someone,

and always find
the good in them.

I can't wait to make her
my whole life

and make her my whole world,

and show her how much
I care for her.

-It does say "candles" on it.
-Oh, it does?

Oh, [bleep].

It's little.

Oh, [bleep]. Oh, [bleep].

Oh, [bleep].

[laughs]

[Michael] It's okay.
-[Erin, gasping] Oh, my God!

Holy [bleep]!

Will you marry me?

-Yes!
-You will?

You will?
Yes!

Oh, my God!
What the [bleep]?

-It's okay.
-I had that with me

the whole time?

Oh, my God!
I can't believe this.

Oh, honey!

-[Michael laughs]
-[Erin] Aw!

[Michael]

[Erin]

Oh, baby!

Oh, my God.

Holy [bleep]!

I was shocked.
I wasn't expecting it.

It was, like,
perfect in a way

that I would want
to be proposed to.

[Michael]

[Erin]

-Do you like it?
-Yeah, you're stuck with me.

Okay.

-You sure?
-Yeah, I'm ready.

-You sure you want to do that?
-[laughs]

I just thought all the things
that we've gotta do,

I didn't think that this was
high on his priority list.

I can't believe
you guys did that!

He orchestrated, like,

me bringing my own
engagement ring

without knowing from Australia,
from my friend.

-Oh, my God!
-[Michael] Yeah.

How the [bleep]
did she do this?

Oh.

[Michael]
That moment, though,

it was the greatest feeling
I've ever had in my life.

[Erin] This is the start
of something really incredible

for Michael and I.

[dramatic music playing]

[Svea] The last time
I saw Joseph

was when I first
visited him in prison.

Now he's getting released
tomorrow.

I actually can't believe
that this is finally happening.

When Joseph is getting out,

he will be living
in Demarcus's house

so he can find a job,

so that he can get himself
his own apartment.

That is his goal.

Demarcus is Joseph's cousin.

-Hi. How you doing?
-Hey. I'm good. How are you?

-I'm fine, thank you.
-Good to see you.

[Demarcus] Joseph's coming here
for three months.

He's my family.
Like, we're close,

so I'm gonna look out for him
no matter what. That's my guy.

Come this way.

Watch your step.

Demarcus's house has a basement
with a bathroom in it.

All right, this is the room
back here.

Okay.

Where you'll be staying.

So this is the area here.

-Go. Walk in.
-Okay.

It's a darker room.
There's a light here.

Seeing the basement
for the first time

is a little bit overwhelming.

Concrete walls and floors.

With small windows.

The room is not set up at all.

We have to do that.

[exhales]

What kind of question is that?

Ugh!

We're just gonna set up
a bed and a wardrobe.

That's for sure.

And all the rest,
we need to figure out

when he's here.

Since the basement
is not ready to move in,

we're gonna stay at the hotel
for a couple of nights.

So we got enough time
to set up the basement.

There's a lot of work
that needs to be done

in order to make it
a cozy room.

I think it's really nice
that you offered him

to stay at your house.

Yeah, that's cool.
He ain't got nowhere else to go.

[dramatic music playing]

[Joseph] I am ready to go.

That's all I can think about.

It's hard for me to eat.
It's hard for me to sleep.

To have this woman
there for me,

words can't describe that.

Here's the clothes here.

Okay. Perfect.

Joseph's expectations
and my expectations

of what is a nice room
are very different.

I was a little bit shocked,
to be honest.

It is really hard
for me to accept.

It's actually paining my heart.

[sighs]

I don't know.
It's not a proper room.

[laid-back pop music playing]

-I'm gonna call Mom.
-Okay.

I thought,
we'll try and call my mom.

She knew Michael
was getting out,

but I don't think she was
expecting me to get engaged

the day he was released
from prison.

-Hey!
-[Erin] Hey!

Mom, this is Michael.

Hi. Hi.

I know you--

Oh, hi.

[Erin] Big Mike.

I know you guys have met
on video visits,

but I feel like
this is a step up, right?

[Michael] It's nice meeting you.
I've heard a lot about you.

[Erin and Michael laugh]

So we have a little surprise.

I'm engaged.

Thank you!

I am excited to do really
normal things with Michael.

Go on date nights.

Be able to, like,
go to the movies.

Go grocery shopping.
Cook meals together.

Really normal things that we
talked about for three years.

I'm excited to be able
to just do that.

I'm gonna be doing everything
hand forward now.

[Michael laughs]

I want to show off my ring,
and meet Michael properly,

and hopefully you guys
can meet in person soon.

He's so funny.
You guys will have fun.

He's a good-looking guy.
He's a good-looking guy.

I see where she gets
her beauty from too.

All right, you guys can stop
flirting now.

[all laugh]

[R&B music playing]

[Andreea]
My dress has arrived.

That is absolutely beautiful.

It arrived finally.

I was waiting for it.

I am feeling very excited.

I can't believe
that we are getting married.

There's a million thoughts
that come to my head,

and, like, how is he gonna be?

Is my hair gonna look all right?

I want to look my best.

It's just elegant.

It's something timeless
that can never go out of style.

My mother-in-law
is going to be there with me.

So she will help me get dressed.

I believe they will let us,

for a little bit after
getting married,

to be with each other.

But, like, under supervision,
of course.

I would have liked it
to be more showing,

but, you know,
there are prison rules.

So I'll have to work
around it.

I know you're gonna
look perfect.

[laughs] Aw!

Denise is my cousin.

It's her first time
traveling to London.

It's a coincidence that
I am actually getting married

and she's here.

And we are sharing
these special moments together.

-Girl, what do you think?
-Oh! It's perfect.

-Look at how beautiful and--
-You like it?

Yes, I like it. It's everything.
It's perfect.

[Andreea] And then I'll have
to wear, like, a wireless bra

because of the rules
in prison.

Growing up, I didn't
really picture marriage,

let alone being locked up
and getting married.

Like, it's just-- It's unreal.

It's all gonna come together.

-Yeah.
-Like, there's no doubt.

I just want the best for her
and for him.

I feel like they're gonna
be the type

to beat all the odds,
and it's gonna be okay.

I've always envisioned myself
in a beautiful white dress

with a lot of guests.

It was nothing compared

to what is actually happening
at the moment,

because it's very unusual.

Oh, my gosh! Now this is it.

This right here is the moment.

-You like it?
-You are a bride.

I am a bride, girl.

I can't believe
it's actually happening.

It feels very real.

Both me and Cage,
we've been through a lot

to get here today.

It's just the mix of a lot
of emotions all together.

-That's cute.
-I love it so much.

Yeah.

[ringing]

Oh.

It's Wendy.
-[Denise] Wendy?

Oh, yeah,
it's the wedding officiant.

Hi, Mrs. Wendy.

[dramatic music playing]

[Andreea] Hi.

Oh, really?

Finding out the wedding
is canceled

is really upsetting.

All the emotions,
all the excitement,

and all of a sudden, you know,
you drop.

Like, you fall down.
Like, oh, it's back to reality.

It's heartbreaking.

I mean, I've never heard
of such thing happening before,

which is, wow, is this really
happening right now?

For the safety of other inmates
and the staff,

this was the only solution
to getting ahold of this.

Okay. Thank you
for letting me know.

Bye-bye.

How many obstacles
do two people really need?

This is just
like another hurdle

that they're gonna
have to go through.

-It's not an easy situation.
-[Andreea] I know.

I feel bad but, like,
it's gonna be okay.

Yeah, it's gonna work out.
It has to, right?

It's depressing. It's sad.

Especially when I'm being
so positive all the time.

It's hard to be positive
in this situation.

[Geta] Wow!

Oh, Andreea.

-Andreea.
-Such a nice...

-You look so beautiful.
-You like it?

A princess.

So I do have some news.

All the prisons in Texas,

they're closed
in the whole state

because of some issues
they've had with contraband.

Because of that,
our wedding got canceled.

-Oh, my God.
-Okay.

[Geta] I try to not cry

because it's not
a normal situation.

She's a young girl
with a lot of opportunity.

And she's getting in love
with a guy

which is 50 years
in the prison.

How I gonna save her?

How are you feeling
about all these things

happening in the last moment?

Well, honestly,
I was just looking forward

to get married to Cage

because we've been waiting
for so long.

I see a good,
beautiful girl alone.

I'm a little bit worried.

I hope he's gonna be all right.

[dramatic music playing]

-Do your underwear fit?

-Yeah, they're all right.
All right.

A little snug,
but they're all right.

Really?

They're 5x.

-Are they really?
-Yes.

Those are really small
for Australian 5x.

I told you.

This morning,
I had everything packed

because I thought he might
have to go to a halfway house.

Which sucked.

So with the checking in
tomorrow,

you stay at
a halfway house tonight?

Before I went home,
I found out

I was gonna have to be paroled
to a halfway house.

Man, and my anxiety
just shot through the roof.

I'm like, "Why are you
telling me this now?"

If you needed an address,
you could have let me know.

So I call my parole officer,
explain the situation to him,

that I have an apartment,
I have a place.

I'm on the lease.

All he said to me was,

"I just need a copy
of the lease agreement

with your name on it,"
he's like, "and you're good."

When I found out he was gonna
have to go to a halfway house,

I was scared and I was angry.

Because I was scared,
I was getting frustrated

and more angry.

It was like this revolving door
of emotions.

A little hiccup like that,
looking back in hindsight,

it's a funny story now.

[laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

This is so nice.

I can't believe you're home.

It's been a long day.

Feels like finally
the day's over.

I don't think
I can describe it in words,

how I felt sitting there
with Erin.

I never thought that this whole
thing with her would be real

for a long time.

She put a lot on the line
and sacrificed a lot for me.

Meeting Erin and being with her,

I understand, like,

everybody has a person
that makes them feel whole.

I think that's her for me.

Man, it's so crazy
to say that and think about it.

You know, now in my mind,
I can't believe I have it.

[laughs]
I'm so scared to lose her.

[bleep] this up.

[somber music playing]

[Svea] Since the basement
is not ready to move in,

we're gonna stay at the hotel

for a couple of nights.

But we got two days
to set up the apartment.

[cell phone rings]

[operator]
This is a prepaid call from...

[Joseph]
DeSoto.

[operator] This call is
from a correction facility,

and is subject to monitoring
and recording.

[Svea] The hotel room
is really, really nice.

It has a real kitchen,
and a living room

with a really, really big TV.

And it has a bathroom
with a tub.

It's a normal tub, baby.

I asked Joseph what he wants
to do when he gets out,

and he said
he wants to take a bath.

He wants to sit in a warm tub.

It has two beds, and...

We can fit in one bed,

but you can sleep in your bed
and I can sleep in my bed.

[Joseph laughs]

Um...

My thoughts about
the first night with Joseph...

are nice thoughts.

I think it's gonna be nice.

[Joseph] We're gonna tear
that hotel room up.

We're gonna be everywhere
in there.

[laughs]

Yeah.

What do you want to hear?

I think it's gonna be nice.

l love you.

[Joseph] I love you too.

[operator]
Thank you for using GTL.

[alarm clock beeping]

It is 5:10 in the morning.

Uh, I've been awake for
the past one and a half hours.

I couldn't sleep.

And I'm getting ready now
to pick up Joseph

from the prison.

[suspenseful music playing]

I'm a little bit anxious
about how he's gonna react

to the free world,

because he has been in prison
for such a long time.

It's hard to imagine
that he can just adjust

without no problems, but...

It is the end of the big chapter
in our life.

And also the start
of a new chapter.

[upbeat jazzy music playing]

[Erin]
Michael's finally home.

And I'm so happy
to start our life together.

You spend three years planning
and then it's here,

and then I'm like, oh my God,
like, we get to do this.

This is real now.
And I'm engaged,

which I wasn't expecting.

It's like all your Christmases
come at once.

So how did you actually sleep
last night?

I went to sleep pretty easy.

I don't know
what happened with you.

I laid up most of the night,
but it's expected, I guess.

I wake up at every sound.

I kept thinking
somebody's in the house.

Then when I did fall asleep,
I was in a deep sleep.

I don't know, it just alarmed me
that I was sleeping that heavy.

So I...

woke myself up.

It was kind of unnerving
at first.

I think I scared you
a few times.

If I roll over
and I, like, touch you,

you'd, like, tense up.

-Like you were...
-Yeah.

Obviously if someone's
gonna touch you

while you were sleeping
in prison, you're...

Yeah, I think
it's just an adjustment.

I'll be all right, though.

[Erin] It was really nice waking
up to Michael this morning.

But if he's asleep
and you startle him...

he's ready to go.

Hopefully you're not
scared of me forever in bed.

[both laugh]

Well, you can be scary.

Wow. Okay.

-All right. First night.
-[Michael laughs]

It's all coming out.

[Erin] I feel, like, very aware
of, like, the anxiety he feels.

He can be a bit
of a hothead sometimes.

Things that, like, most people
wouldn't get annoyed by,

he's like...

"What the [bleep]?"
And I'm like,

that was an extreme reaction
for a situation

that wasn't that serious.

When you got up
to use the bathroom,

-my reaction was--
-I know what your reaction was.

Yeah, so I think I'll be fine.

[Erin] You know,
there is always the possibility

that he could slip back
into the things

that maybe put him in prison.

That's just me being realistic.

I mean, I hope that changes.

I hope he can start
to become more comfortable,

and we'll just have to take it
day by day.

[dramatic music playing]

[Svea]
I just went into the prison

to tell the people
that I'm here

and ready to pick Joseph up,

and they asked me
to wait in my car.

They said it's gonna take
20 to 30 minutes

for him to get out,
and now I'm getting nervous.

Three years ago,
I would have never thought

that I would be waiting
in a prison parking lot

for my boyfriend to get released
in a whole nother country.

But I think that's just
what life is about.

The Joseph who went to prison

was...

He was a bad person.

And...

he deserved to be in prison.

I want to show

people that you can
change your life.

And I'm on my way home.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Emma] I have been
in a relationship with Curt

for two and a half years,

and we are about
to get married.

It's just scary.
I'm actually marrying a man

that I've never met
on the outside.

It was never in my plan

to go and get married
in a prison.

Oh, I feel sick.

I don't know
what's about to happen.

My last single walk.

I'm Jessica, and
I'm from Brisbane, Australia.

My husband's
actually American.

Prison.

-Yes.
-Oh.

[Craig]
My name is Craig.

I'm doing ten years for
attempted aggravated robbery.

[Jessica] I moved here
with no belongings.

I never would have thought
that I'd be married

to an inmate in the US.

We're just doing this
for Michael as a welcome home.

Getting all
of the family together

so Erin can meet
everyone as well.

This is your great-uncle
Michael.

[Erin] Him with a child?

My ovaries are like...

I'm on my way home.

Hi!

I'm free.
Our dream has come true.

Everything's just kind of
messed up today.

[Joseph] Let me know
how much this cost, all of this.

[clerk]
Thirty-seven dollars.

I'm a 30-year-old man getting
out of prison with nothing.

Yeah, I've seen him naked now.

[laughs]
