The convicted killer is serving a life sentence for stabbing her ex-boyfriend 29 times, shooting him in the head and slitting his throat.
Locked up in the Perryville Prison in Arizona, Jodi has secret visits from old boyfriends, toils away for 40 cents an hour at her library job, and shops for sex toys in the commissary.
