LIFETIME(R) UNLOCKS THE SECRETS OF WOMEN WHO LOVE MEN BEHIND BARS IN NEW DOCUSERIES

"Prison Wives Club"

SET FOR SERIES PREMIERE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 10pm ET/PT

The new Lifetime docuseries Prison Wives Club (#PrisonWives) follows four women as they deal with the toils of daily life while their husbands face time behind bars. While facing judgment from their families, each episode explores how the women struggle to find normalcy despite their unconventional choices when it comes to the men in their lives. Restricted to limited contact with their spouses who are serving sentences ranging from 10 years to life, the ladies band together for support; but this group comes with its own sentence as they don't always agree on how to behave as a wife on the "outside." The new hour-long series premieres Tuesday, October 28, at 10pm ET/PT.
