The experience was certainly bonding for Jen and Elizabeth—who is serving just over 11 years for defrauding investors of her defunct health startup—but it wasn’t the only time they spent together.
“We were both very busy during the day and in the evening, we’d go take a walk,” Jen noted. “That’s when we’d have our time to just talk. Talk about how much we missed our family. Talk about important things that were going on in prison.”

“There’s a lot of heartache when you’re in prison,” Jen added. “So just being that sounding board for each other where you can be like, ‘Hey, I just need to walk and cry’ and just having someone there who understood you.”

“I chose that,” she said. “I chose to have very limited interaction with her.”
