Law enforcement, the penal system, and the justice system should train personnel on the value of romantic relationships among incarcerated individuals. People in meaningful relationships can influence each other in ways that government agencies cannot. In the case of Bonnie and Clyde, Clyde Barrow's experiences with law enforcement and incarceration contributed to his crime spree as well as his negative impact on Bonnie Parker.
