I was trying to watch this without doing a Love After Lockup Recap and I just had to throw a few of the most ridiculous things up. It is scary AF how dumb ALL of these people are.
Angela & Tony
Angela has friend name Tommy from GRAD SCHOOL? I was sure Angela dropped out of school in the eighth grade to milk cows or something. Tommy has a nice truck, most of his hair and decent teeth. He also has a deep friendship with her and is really concerned about the entire situation with Tony. Then he leaves after filming with her and gets halfway home and turns around to come back and PROPOSE to Angela?!
If Tommy was an option, why is Tony even a consideration? This has to be fake, right? Is grad school code for something? Like rehab?
Andrea & Lamondre
Suddenly we are going from Mama’s mad and the sisters are terrified for Andrea to everything is fine, you do you? Is this some sort of reverse psychology? Mama did say, “If he don’t do you right turn him off like you turn off your water.” Um, huh?

Vince & Amber
Day two of Amber being out, they have a nasty disagreement about working out. Vince wants her to work out with him. She has made it clear multiple times she has no interest in that. He keeps talking about it. Then in his talking head he says, “I love Amber so much. Not many people get to meet their soulmate…” WTF? These two do not agree on anything and Amber will not let him touch her. They sleep in separate bedrooms and she locks the door!
Cheryl & Josh
Did Cheryl park in the handicapped space at the parole office? Why aren’t there any other cars there at all? How did Cheryl not know that that the mama’s boy bank robber who likes to cross dress was going to do his parole at his mommy’s house?
Lacey & Shane
Shane needs some clothes so obviously the first item of clothing a 21 year old who has been locked up for four years needs is a suit and tie. Lacey says seeing that Shane in a suit and tie makes her think he could be an attorney, or a stockbroker and making really big bucks.

Where do they find people this dumb? I’d like to think it would be difficult and then I consider the Internet. They probably had plenty of morons to choose from. Then they got thrown out of the store for making out and rounding third base in the dressing room.

Lizzy & Daniel
I really like this couple so far. Since we don’t know what Lizzy’s job is, I have a feeling she has been stripping her way through school. I don’t think that will go over well with Daniel. I say do what you have to do girl. Get your education.
Ummmm… thoughts? Anyone?
TT, thanks for the great recap. I won’t get to watch till tomorrow, but can’t wait.
It’s pure comedy. It amazes me how common this is, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who went this route. So yes, I hung and associated with convicts. Many years ago. Many many years ago, lol.
OMG! Thank you for recapping this, TT! You have answered my prayers! I haven’t watched this episode yet but I’m definitely watching this series and now I’m even more excited to watch it. Because, Cheryl the bank robber serial killer enthusiast. My new guilty pleasure is this show. THANK. YOU.
All of these people are crazy but Cheryl takes the cake! She has crazy eyes when she starts talking about serial killers, definitely obsessed! I wonder why his Mom doesn’t like her?
Awesome title to this recap! I saw it and really did laugh out loud. Yes, the stupidity is overwhelming but, I try not to think about it too much because then I have to remember that these people can actually vote (well half of them) and my brain starts to explode. For entertainment value though, they are amazing. I’m so happy that you’re watching too! Good call on Lizzy being a stripper, I just figured that she was dating someone else but, I think you nailed it.
I honestly don’t think these people WHO ARE NOT FELONS could spell their names properly on a voter registration card.
That’s a great point!
I was waiting for your post before I watched this beautiful mess.
I try to take friday nights off. Then I seem compelled to watch this trash because it is on my DVR. Then, I say I am just going to watch without recapping because I AM NOT GETTING INTO ANOTHER SEASON.
Then I need you. Le sigh. I am weak.
I’m glad you are. I worked with a lady years ago that met her future husband while he was in prison. She was part of the Christian ministry program, they married after he got out. It worked for several years until he relapsed and robbed her blind. Now he’s the ex-husband.
Love, love, love this show! These people are ridiculously stupid, it blows my mind! I really wish Angela would give her friend a chance to become more than friends. I felt so bad for Tommy last night when she told him she couldn’t see them having sex. Are you the one that said in another post that he looks like Jerry Springer? If you are you’re absolutely correct.
Grad school is definitely code for rehab!
What hap to the girl in the previews that’s standing at a prison gate w balloons yelling here he comes???? Didnt that one work out??
Lacey is a bit kinky bit Shane loves her anyways. Shes like a child waiting for mommy to bring her something from the store especially when shes jumping up & down saying HES SO DAMN HOT!!
Angela is too old & what about that pic of her that she photo shopped making herself look gorgeous. Tony is not interested at all – he may be even embarrassed a bit. What does everyone think??
Cheryl is obsessed. I didnt see about him cross dressing?? She sort of reminds me of the girl from last show (can’t think of name) who they lived w his mother for a while.
Amber I believe is gay. Shes in love w her old prison mate. Hes a nice guy & way too together for her.
Lizzie is cute & seems together but who knows what her story is. Guess well find out soon enough.
I agree with you on everything!
I think it says Angela is 48. Which is a year younger than me. There is no way! I think she is probably 58. Tony has no problem giving her big kisses, but yeah, he doesn’t want to have sex with her!
Cheryl reminds me of the same girl you are talking about and I can’t remember her name either. I feel like it started with a B?
I think Amber is gay too.
The ‘balloon lady’ may not be seen, Angela and Tony were featured in the previews for last season but he didn’t end up getting out as expected. They must have a right filming schedule, probably to avoid spoilers on social media.
I thought the same thing when Angela said grad school. I thought surely I misunderstood and she really said grade school!
TT- Great recap! There’s something I still don’t I understand. On this season and past seasons the men and women have said they have sent their felons $20,000- $50,000 while they were in prison. Besides the weekly /monthly money that is put on their books for commissary what are the inmates doing with that money?
It seems like Lizzie from last season bought drugs in prison? I kind of remember her daughter getting upset with Scott for giving Lizzie all that money as she just used it to buy drugs.
Drugs, phones, sex toys… You know… Your every day necessities.
In my opinion probably drugs!! What else is there?
When Lacy was parading around that hotel room in her lace panties I wanted to pop my eyeballs out and wash ‘em.
Hubs and I nearly fell off the bed when we heard GRAD school. We rewound the DVR to check we weren’t hearing things.
How do they give the inmates the money. I’m sure you can’t mail them cash or hand over cash at visits. Let’s say the inmates can have $100 a week on their books for commissary. 52 weeks in a year – $5200 a year. Sorry for all the questions. I’m just shocked by the sneakiness of inmates. Like how they get drugs, cell phones etc. I have seen on prison documentaries that inmates use their commissary items as currency.
I don’t know the answers to your questions. I don’t believe these people who can’t afford to go to the dentist and don’t seem to have anyway to support themselves are sending the kind of money that the show suggests. I just don’t believe they do it in the first place. I do believe they put money on their books for commissary but that it. For that reason, I never bothered to entertain these sorts of questions.
Thanks TT! Yes that “G” on my forehead is for gullible.
Kerry, I had similar questions on an earlier post/thread of this show. IIRC, you can put the money in their accounts via a credit card online. As for the other questions, I believe it was Nanette that taught me a lot about what you can buy while in prison. Pretty amazing but I already forgot all the stuff. So if you can find Nanette on here she can definitely answer your questions!
Thank you IJC!
Wow, all this time I thought Angela had said they met in GRADE school. I guess it sounded more logical. – Andrea’s eyes scare me. She gives off a James Holmes vibe. I had to change my mind about her and Lamandre instead of her being cautious of him. He had better watch HIS back.
I can’t wait to see Andrea try and enter ‘Jamaica or Peru’ with a convicted drug trafficker who served in excess of 10 years in prison. Every person I have ever met who had legal problems was in mortal fear of never travelling again, I thought it was quite common knowledge. Hell, I sweat my 20 year old DUI as a teenager when I go through customs lines!
I felt super dirty about becoming addicted to this show 6 weeks back, not quite as addicted as Danny smoking meth out of the back of a broken light bulb…but close. Then I found your site here and I feel much, much better about myself. It’s like watching five train wrecks, all at the same time. If I worked at the network, I would immediately start a spin off where Lacey’s two ex con boyfriends compete for her affections in the octagon. Five X three minute rounds for the first five weeks, then a fight to the death for the sixth and final episode. Make the final one like Thunderdome. Have all the other couples outside yelling “two men enter…one man leaves. Two men enter….one man leaves.”
