Recently I watched a TV program about inmates corresponding with women. There are quite a number of women who have fallen in love with incarcerated men that have committed violent crimes, rapes and even murder. And yet some of these women actually get married to those men. The lives of these women then center around prison visits. I can't figure this out. What is the attraction?

Almost without fail, these women have come from abusive child hoods.
I am no doctor, but I would they are classic cases of adult children of messed up families that had few signs of love or caring.
By becoming emotionally attached to the worst losers of society, they feel they can change them and make them what their own father's never were. They will spend their lives trying to cure the emotionally screwed up, because they are searching for something they never had as a child.
If they could not fix their father to make him love them, maybe they can fix a convict to make him love them.

well from a psychological point of view,
fear of intimacy. Let's face it if your husband is incarcerated without out a chance of getting out, you and he will not have a real marriage with home and kids and the works, you will not share unscheduled special moments together,
and he can't leave you for another woman.
then there are the martyr types, who want to save them and thus sacrifice their life to their cause, the inmate.
