Marrying a PrisonerMonday 13 May 2002
Criminals and their partners are three times more likely to have successful marriages than other couples, according to a new book. So why do these relationships endure? And does this mean that our stereotype of the deluded, unbalanced and often damaged 'gangster's moll' is unfounded?

Jenni is joined by the author of Cell Mates, Soul Mates, Angela Devlin, and by Caroline McNairn, artist and wife of Hugh Collins, who was serving a life sentence for murder in the notorious Barlinnie Special Unit in Glasgow when they met.
Copies of Cell Mates, Soul Mates can be ordered directly from Waterside Press (Tel No: 01256 882 250)
