More than 10 years after being convicted of m******** Travis Alexander, Jodi Arias continues to serve a life sentence without the possibility of parole at Arizona State Prison Complex, Perryville. While she remains incarcerated, Arias has stayed active through her prison-run Substack blog, Just Jodi, continues selling original artwork through her personal website, and recently revealed plans to hire new attorneys as she prepares another legal challenge against her conviction.

Arias was found guilty of first-degree m***** in 2013 for the 2008 killing of Alexander, whom prosecutors said she s******* dozens of times. Although she admitted to killing her former boyfriend during the trial, Arias has consistently maintained that she acted in self-defense and continues to deny she committed first-degree m*****, a claim that remains central to her ongoing legal efforts.
