According to fellow inmates, there’s a “bounty on her head,” and she’s a constant target of hostility.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed to the New York Post that Saldívar has maintained a clean record during her incarceration, meaning her parole hearing will proceed as scheduled. But as the wheels of justice turn, a family member of the convicted killer told The Post that Saldívar views herself as a “political prisoner” who has “paid her debt to society.”
But according to the appeal document, Saldívar said that after Selena had dumped a bag full of bank files on the bed and continued arguing with her she "took the gun from my purse and Selena started walking toward the door which was opened. I pulled the hammer back and I shot at her as she was walking towards the door which was open.
According to sources inside the Patrick L. O’Daniel Unit in Gatesville, where Saldívar is currently housed, the convicted killer’s notoriety has made her a marked woman. Former inmate Marisol Lopez, who was incarcerated alongside Saldívar from 2017 to 2022, told The Post that "everyone knows who Yolanda Saldívar is" and the animosity toward her is at a fever pitch.
