Loving The Unlovable: When You Fall For A Death Row Inmate | Real Stories Full-Length Documentary
Compelling and fascinating insights into the relationships between death row prisoners and British women.
In Britain, over 100 women are married or engaged to prisoners on America’s Death Row. In this extraordinary two part series we look at the stories of two women whose pursuit of love led them to relationships with some of the most violent criminals in America.
Sandie’s story
Sandie is 47 and a twice divorced mother of 2 from Somerset in England. Her wedding captured on video, shows her in a perfect white gown with veil and a beautiful bouquet, but there is something missing – the groom, Charles 'Chucky' Mamou.
Chucky is on Death Row for a double murder during a drug deal, a crime for which he insists he is innocent.
Texas Death Row is strictly non-contact so Sandie had to get married with a stand-in – it was her new father-in-law who presented her with the ring and stood by her side in front of the pastor. After just 4 months Sandie discovered Chucky had been writing sex letters to a married woman in the UK – so ended the relationship.
Sandie has had up to 30 prison pen-pals, and fell in love again with 28 year old Reginald Blanton, he proposed and she said yes.
Reginald is also on Death Row, found guilty of shooting his friend in the head. He too says he is innocent. Despite their 19 year age gap, they both profess this is true love, but their relationship is confined to annual visits and hundreds of letters. Reginald has lost his final appeal and his execution is imminent. Sandie will be there.
