They were once sweet little girls, now they're cold-blooded criminals, behind the bars of America's most dangerous prisons - hardened women doing their time. How and why did they cross to the dark side? What makes women kill husbands, lovers, family, and innocent strangers? Step inside and meet:
- Patty: The prison beauty slaughtered her mother, father and little brother after falling in love with evil Svengali twenty years her senior.
- Michelle: She lovingly tends the flowers on the prison grounds. Only those who know her best know how she kicked her husband to death.
- Cynthia: A typical St Louis girl - until she met a jailbird and embarked on a murderous rampage worthy of 'Natural Born Killers'.
