9. Nothing like a prison project!
Some women say they like bad boys because they can change them—you know, give him a new attitude, a new conscience, maybe even a makeover. If your guy’s incarcerated, you’ve got your work cut out for you. But then again, there’s nowhere to go but up.

8. Jailbirds come in flocks.
Out in the free world, if your relationship falls apart it can take months to find a replacement beau. If you’re into prisoners, there’s plenty to go around. And you know exactly where to find them. Of course, if you don’t want to cause any riots you should probably find a guy at another location.

7. Your mailbox is always full.
If it weren’t for prisoner-groupie relationships, the epistolary-style would be a lost art. While the rest of us deal with the daily disappointing trip to the mailbox (great, more bills), those who date men in prison receive long, romantic letters.

6. He’s doing time, not pestering you to do “it.”
If you actually marry your prisoner (ah, Mrs. Inmate #4544328) you can have sex on your own time. That’s the beauty of the conjugal visit! He won’t paw at you when you have a headache or expect it just because it’s his birthday. Sure, when you do have sex it has to be in a prison but it seemed to work just fine for Gabrielle on Desperate Housewives.
