Movies/Documentaries

Prison Wives: Pam Booker (This episode is NOT about the murder but about the “love story” between Lance Booker [one of the convicted killers] and his wife Pam. From the commercials, it is glamorizing these people in prison and their relationships, but basically ignoring that some of the inmates are in for murder. They will not (in my opinion) be showing any sympathy or compassion towards the victims or their families. In fact, will they even talk to them? Why are they trying to get sympathy for murderers?)
