ATLANTA, GEORGIA: 'Prison Brides' star Craig's life has been far from ordinary. He was sent to prison at the tender age of one, and unfortunately, his fate remained the same throughout his childhood and teenage years. He was convicted at the young age of 13 and has hardly enjoyed three years of freedom in his entire life.

Despite all this, it seems like Craig might be heading back to jail soon, which has left his viewers quite worried. They fear that if he is imprisoned again, he might be away for a whole year, and Jessica won't be able to spend much time with him. 

The internet was buzzing with rumors that Craig's absence from home might have been too long for him to recognize his partner's transformed personality. Moreover, it seemed like Craig's chances of returning to prison were pretty high, and this speculation only added fuel to the fire.

"Safe to say Craig's chances of going back to jail are pretty high #prisonbrides," said a user. "Craig might not be home long enough to feel anything about her being an entire different person let alone experience her new side," added another. "The people say Craig back inside," said a third. 

"Weird that Craig has had only 3 years of freedom since his teenage years...," a viewer noted. Others suggested Craig might be having issues settling with his new life considering he has spent all his life in prison. "There is no way you can convince me that Craig is gonna be comfortable being married in the free world. Like he has spent almost all of his teen and adult life inside. I am shocked he is allowed to be a welder. Hope he can stick with it," someone noted. "I hope Craig can stay free but I have my doubts after hearing his story," added another.
