Jodi Arias, who was found guilty in 2013 for the shocking murder of her former boyfriend Travis Alexander, might be gearing up for another legal attempt to contest her conviction.
Almost ten years following her headline-making trial, Arias, now 45, is incarcerated at Arizona’s Perryville state women’s prison, serving a life term with no possibility of release for the 2008 crime.
Recently, Arias has reemerged in the public eye through prison-created artwork sales and a new blog on Substack.
In a June 27 post, Arias dismissed tabloid rumors that she flirts with prison staff, calling the claim “a juicy lie.”

Prosecutors argued that the crime was fueled by jealousy and rage.
During the trial in 2013, the prosecution asserted that Arias was enraged after Alexander called off their relationship and began dating someone else, ignoring her efforts to mend their relationship.
Once Arias was convicted on May 7, 2013, jurors failed to unanimously agree on her punishment, leading to a non-consensus twice. Consequently, a judge sentenced her to life imprisonment in 2015.
In 2014, Arias was ordered to pay over $32,000 in restitution to Alexander’s family following a court hearing.
Since 2022, Arias has been employed as a library assistant within the prison and more recently has been involved in running music programs, including aiding with the prison band and choir, as per records from the facility.
Arias is currently serving a life sentence at the Perryville state women’s prison located in Goodyear, Arizona, with no possibility of parole. According to public records, she is housed in a medium-low security unit, classified under a lower “custody class” within the facility.
