The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.“Gay for the stay” is an insensitive oversimplification that signals a lack of understanding about what it’s really like to be imprisoned, and an underestimation of human nature. “The relationships inmates establish with each other are treated as nothing more than kinky lies to be ashamed of upon returning to the real world,” she writes. Ultimately, Knox rejects the stereotypes cast on women in prison. “Because prison is an awful place: It is designed to deny people of their desire to connect.” But mostly, she writes, it’s about human connection. Knox admits that prison relationships can be about sex. She remained transfixed by the young American, seeking out her company and presence.īut she persisted in attempting to win Knox’ heart: “She sent me jazz CDs which she inscribed on the inside jacket, ‘Love always, Leny,’” Knox writes. Many of these women will have identified as heterosexual - colloquially, they were ‘gay for the stay.”Īmanda Knox in 2008: She says stereotypes of relationships in womens’ prisons reveal a lack of understanding of conditions behind bars. There were tearful breakups, and sometimes fist fights between new partners and exes. They passed love letters through the bars … and gave each other presents. She said it was common for prisoners to ‘form an intimate partnership’. “Like a teenage girl’s sleepover, we wonder what’s going on behind closed doors (or locked bars).” “We’re intrigued by the idea of prison relationships, in part because we’re morbidly curious about anything to do with transgressors and criminals, but also because their relationships are titillating and a little mysterious,” she writes. She even discusses in detail the circumstances of those around her. Picture: APĪ reflective Knox acknowledged the atmosphere of the prison was sex-charged. “Since she couldn’t respect my boundaries, we couldn’t be friends anymore,” she wrote.Īmanda Knox says women in her prison sought out each other’s company - and sex - in desperate bids for human connection. Knox put the brakes on the budding relationship. “It was bad enough that the prison institution took ownership of my body―that I was caged and stripsearched on a regular basis and had already been sexually harassed by male guards.” “I gritted my teeth and half-smiled, wavering between embarrassment and anger. ‘I can do things to you that no man can.’ I felt objectified and I’d get annoyed. ‘I’ve changed women before,’ she’d tell me. Contrary to what you might guess, many prison relationships aren’t about sex-just like most relationships outside of prison.” “At least initially, Leny might not have been trying to seduce me, and was actually just in need of someone kind to distract her from her loneliness,” Knox writes. A stolen kiss from her prison friend ‘Leny’ was a step too far, she says. Amanda Knox is comforted by her sister, Deanna Knox, in 2011.
