"I pronounce us man and wife"
22 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
With 17 years on the job, Vicky is a model prison guard till a new convict throws some compliments her way. Casey gives Vicky something to look forward to, and relief from her routine.

And Vicky buys into it, full bore: "I finally found someone who sees me the way I want to be seen, and he's in for life." Oy vey!

Soon our beauty of the bars is breaking protocol, and one day busts the sweet talker out of jail. Suddenly we're witness to the oddest of couples -- officer of the law and bad boy extraordinaire -- playing house, with the cops in hot pursuit.

It's compelling TV, while we scratch our heads as to how a bored and lonely 56-year-old could go so rogue.

We get good performances here from Wendi McClendon-Covey and Rossif Sutherland, one of Donald's children.

Of similar interest and well-worth viewing is "Mrs. Soffel" of 1984, the based-on-real-life film about a prison warden's wife who helps a couple of outlaws escape the gallows.
