CCADP has been asked by 20/20 to post this call on our message board. Elizabeth Vargas will be the host of this coming show. If you are in this position and wish to be involved please contact the producers at the number below :
********************************
ABC News 20/20 , the television news magazine with Elizabeth Vargas and John Stossel, is preparing a segment on people who fall in love with and marry prison inmates.. especially those on death row or serving life sentences. We are doing an in-depth portrayal of what life is like for a couple in this position --- the hardships, the benefits, and the logistics of living as man and wife while one partner is behind bars. Having reported many stories about life in prison, I am aware of the obstacles posed by exorbitant telephone charges, restrictive visiting rules, and other issues couples face with incarceration. We hope to explore all of these in the course of our story.
We know there are many good relationships begun outside prison that last during a mate's short sentence. Those are not the stories we're looking for this time. We're looking for the love "against-all-odds" kind of stories about relationships that develop after an inmate has been sentenced.
If you have had this experience, please contact 212 875-3050. This number accepts collect calls.
Thank you.
