I caught the episode about two ex-prisoners who knew and bunked with Jodi Arias, and I found the program absorbing.
Here we meet Tracy and Donavan, who, accused of kidnapping and arson crimes, met and fell in love with each other at the Estrella women's jail in Phoenix, overseen by famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
We learn that at one point in the couple's four-month interaction with Jodi in 2008, they feared that she would kill herself. And we observe a clip of the suave, well-spoken murder suspect telling a TV interviewer, "I believe that death is the ultimate freedom."
When Donavan gets out of prison, she takes on managing Jodi's messaging through social-media sites, which comes to feel like a full-time job, and eventually for various reasons she distances from the situation.
I sought this out after viewing a dramatized version of the triple friendship, "Bad Behind Bars: Jodi Arias" (2023). The two Lifetime shows make an excellent double feature.
