This week, we’re crossing the border—north of the border—to hear a story that’s both familiar and completely different. Kelsey, a Canadian woman who married her husband while he was incarcerated, joins us to share her journey of love, loyalty, and learning what it really means to be a “prison wife” in Canada.

From how they met to navigating marriage inside a correctional institution, Kelsey opens up about the unique realities of Canada’s prison system—regular visits, conjugal visits, policies, and other differences from the American system. She also reflects on how her family and friends reacted, what support looks like on the outside, and how love can survive and thrive despite the walls.

Next month, we’ll be joined by her husband himself, who will shed more light on life inside a Canadian institution and why reintegration—and real change—seem more possible there.
