Female prisoners are a lot like honest politicians: they exist but you never really hear about them. This series brings women who kill to the forefront, detailing a specific case in each episode, and then trying to answer the question of why they did what they did.

In 1986, Rose Parker is convicted of the murder of Art Boga; Celeste Fox is charged with the first-degree murder of her grandmother and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Celeste Johnson is convicted and sentenced to life in prison; Bernice Ahrens is found guilty of murder and sentenced to 80 years in prison.

Along with her boyfriend, Harris is convicted of shooting an 84-year-old woman and her 57-year-old caretaker; Rocka and a friend terrorize a woman for drug money.

A woman is accused of spiking her husband's drink with methanol; a former escort is suspected of taking part in the killing of a client.
