The prequel to Love After Lockup, Love During Lockup reveals the fascinating moments that happen when people in the free world look for love and begin relationships with inmates, capturing their journey as they count down the days, weeks, months, or even years until the anticipated release. The captivating docuseries introduces viewers to six people outside of prison and follows them through the early stages of their romance with an inmate (or multiple inmates).

Regardless of their type, each has a specific reason for looking for love with someone behind bars.

MEET THE CAST:

Despite her better judgment, Kate couldn't resist Hunter's charm and plunged headfirst into their relationship. Yet, while Hunter claims to be fully committed to Kate, she may not be aware of just how far his interactions with others could go. His true loyalties come into question as unexpected twists unfold, challenging everything Kate thought she knew.

Tia & Rob (Bayshore, NY)

Tia is a hard-working, single mom who wasn't feeling lucky in love until Rob came along. As Rob's release day quickly approaches, the two begin to make plans for his homecoming.

Now being "California Sober," Savannah's family and friends worry about her relationship with Bradly as they have never been sober together in the free world. Bradly's sister, Alissa, is Savannah's closest friend, but has a strained relationship with her brother and tells Savannah none of Bradly's family likes her and that he's only using her. Will Savannah take this information into consideration or let it all ride on Bradly?

After Sam visited Krystal in prison, he moved to Texas and left his family and friends behind to get married. While Sam and Krystal are not able to spend time together outside of prison, Krystal's grandmother, Rita, is more than happy to fill Krystal's shoes while she's gone.

However, Rita may be taking her role too seriously when she begins to become jealous of Sam and Krystal's relationship.
