When Karla saw Joseph featured on the TV series" Louisiana Lockdown", she felt something she couldn’t ignore and decided to send him a message. Their relationship quickly grew, and when they finally met at the Angola Prison Rodeo, they just knew that this was the type of connection they had only dreamed of.

In this episode, Karla opens up about her first experience at the rodeo, the bond they built, and how loving Joseph has changed her perspective on prison reform and second chances. Karla might have been 3 years old when Joseph committed the crime that gave him this 100 year sentence as a juvenile, but that has never been an issue to them- but it did get them featured in the Sun magazine! Together, they dream of marriage, building a future and a family that proves it's not where you meet your soulmate that matters, it's who they are that does.
