Meet the cast of Love During Lockup 2023
The upcoming season of the WE TV reality show features six civilians as they go through the early stages of their relationships with their partners, who are currently behind bars.
Latisha and Keith
The Davenport couple met soon after Latisha got out of her marriage. Although she was looking forward to spending some time being single, the single mother met Keith soon after.
While the upcoming Love During Lockup cast member was skeptical at first, and only wanted to be his “pen-pal”, Kevin eventually won her over.

The press release reads:
"Tension arises as Raneka’s family feels Asonta isn’t good enough for her as they believe he passes the time talking to other women. Raneka is hoping for big things including a sparkling rock and rap career in Atlanta, but will those dreams ultimately become a reality?"Britney and Kerok
The Love During Lockup couple met while both of them were serving time. However, Britney has since then served her sentence and is waiting for Kerok to be released. Britney is currently living with Kerok’s family and is currently in beauty school.

The press release states about the couple:
"Jake has real concerns about Savannah’s jealousy and neediness as he serves the remainder of his sentence. The separation is getting to the pair as they both battle trust issues."Brittney and Andy
