Show Notes

"Welcome to More than an Inmate's Girlfriend. I'm your host, Jae," speaks a soothing voice each week from her podcast studio in Canada. Since 2024, Jae Ely has been releasing podcast episodes aimed at reducing the stigma associated with prisoners, prison wives, and even pen pals who choose to write to prison inmates. Jae, who is married to an inmate (yet not allowed to communicate with him!) talks about her life, her podcast, and the challenges she's faced along the way. In this exclusive interview with Big Steve, she opens up about how marrying Nicholas Ely, incarcerated in Nebraska, has completely changed her life. Learn about how Jae is working to get Nebraska's Felony Murder laws overturned, the free gift catalog she's created for inmates, her recent three-part podcast series about prison pen pals, and so much more. She'll even talk about why she no longer gets nervous when interviewing famous guests and reality stars from shows like Love After Lockup. This is an inspirational interview, filled with honesty and heart, which offers a behind-the-scenes look into Jae's personal life, her goals, and the mental strength it takes to host a successful podcast in 2026.
