Love, Prison, Wisdom and Heartaches is a studio album by American country artist Connie Smith.

After her commercial success waned in the late 1970s, she settled into domestic life but continued to sporadically return to her country career.

"[3] The album features songs first recorded by Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Dottie West.

Billboard wrote, "Smith's voice is still an instrument of formidable power and style, while this gorgeous record is an essential listen for fans of old-school country.

"[1] The Kingsport Times-News gave the disc a positive review as well, commenting, "Embedded within the tears and fears and aching breaking heart of Smith's new album stands like a statue the quest for hope.
