It was not a match made in Heaven, but made in prison, and it has lasted into freedom.

Damien Echols, one of the men known as the West Memphis Three, spent half his life on death row in Arkansas for a crime he says he did not commit, but while behind bars he found true love and married a woman.

Lorri Davis was a landscape architect from Brooklyn who saw the documentary, Paradise Lost, about the injustice of the West Memphis Three’s imprisonment and decided to write a letter to Echols that sparked their love affair.

They’ve given the love letters to the New York Times, sharing their intimate thoughts throughout the years.

Lorri moved to Little Rock, Arkansas to be closer to Echols while he was in prison, convicted of murdering three second grade cub scouts.  She began living the same schedule he did as a form of solidarity – meditating when he did and socializing very little.

In return, Echols quit smoking to remove toxins from his body.
