Evading capture as one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted criminals, he can be seen posing by landmarks in St. Louis, while in others Miss Jessop smiles for her leader's camera, dressed in shorts, a tank top and socks under sandals.
Prison booking photographs which now show the rapid fall of a man who thrived on power - shaved, skinny and pale, Warren Jeffs looked a broken man as he stared blankly towards a future locked behind bars.
He has now begun his sentence at the Byrd Unit in Huntsville, Texas, where he is allowed no visits and no calls.
The unit is used to house death row inmates and those on life sentences without parole before they are moved on to the facilities where they will remain for the rest of their lives.
DNA evidence presented during the trial proved Jeffs had fathered a child with a 15-year-old child bride.
During the trial an FBI agent read Jeffs' journal - which prosecutors say proved he knew his behaviour was wrong.
The court heard that Jeffs wrote: 'Things are happening so quickly. There is an even younger girl that the Lord wants me to take. She is 13. For some reason, the Lord is sending me these girls that can be worked with.'
He also wrote: 'If the world knew what I was doing, they would hang me from the highest tree.'
During the trial prosecutors suggested that the polygamist leader told the girls they needed to have sex with him in order to atone for sins in his community.
FBI agent John Broadway testified that fathers who gave their young daughters to Jeffs - their supposed prophet - were rewarded with young brides of their own.
Girls who proved reluctant to have sex with Jeffs were sent away, according to excerpts from Jeff's journals that prosecutors showed to the jury.
'If they wanted to not be rejected by God, then the new laws [Jeffs] was introducing was requiring them to participate in these sessions,' agent Broadway said.
Jeffs's conviction stems from a highly publicised raid on the sect's Yearning For Zion compound in Eldorado, Texas, in which authorities took temporary custody of some 400 children.
They later returned them to their families after an investigation and DNA tests.
Some legal experts have said that because the raid was triggered by a false report, the evidence gathered there could be disallowed.
But Judge Barbara Walther, who has presided over the case in her San Angelo courtroom since the raid, allowed evidence prosecutors said proved Jeffs abused his position in power to have sex with girls as young as 12.
TRANSCRIPT: RECORDINGS OF WARREN JEFFS' 'HEAVENLY SESSIONS'
God instructs 'for quorums of wives to be with me, to assist me. To be a comfort. Yes, even physically. For more than one woman is with me at a time... sexually together.'
'Verily, thus sayeth the Lord unto you you my servant Warren: I, the Lord thy God, look upon thee at this time and my smile shines upon thee and these my daughters who are with me.'
'The Lord is ready to scourge and destroy this people for rejecting for not being prepared to build a temple for not being Zion. He required that I come to this land quickly and atone for the people and the atonements have come to such severity that I am taken right close to death. It is a heavenly justice administered and my ladies at the right moment are called to assist me and through their tenderness and in their wifely womanly ways are able to revive me. I am not to go into the hands of the medical people or they will destroy me. The Lord has appointed that my wives who are filled with the holy ghost can help revive me, as that eternal heavenly justice is completed. The Lord showed me that he was taking me right to death through these atonements and with my ladies as quorums to do this work.'
'This is an inordinate of the celestial law that the wives of the heavenly prophet perform. These three ladies stepped forward and assisted me. At that time I was very lonely. They have to know how to touch, to be a comfort... you have to know how to be excited sexually. The Lord has intended that my ladies, all of my ladies be trained.'
'I am very merry. All I am interested in is learning more of the spirit and your relationship with me is for that very thing and we will be together to feel the heavenly fire accomplish the Lords love and nothing less. You helping me will resolve... perhaps you will be with me when I am not down and out - we should always be with the heavenly fire in our connections. The Lord showed me that I don't always have to be near close to death before my ladies are with me, but they do need to be filled with the spirit of love.'
'I came to this land of refuge at 11.15 at night on October 12, and there were seven ladies here doing their work and they were ladies that had had experience with me and had trained most of that had witnessed the Heavenly Sessions, they know of the all consuming fire. They were unclothed I had them put on their white robes... this is dated October 13 while I was still her way past midnight.
There were eight ladies present, the quorum of seven, and I brought Naomi here with me. And the Lord came here while we were in circle prayer they felt his presence, and the Lord had me voice this revelation which will be recorded during the circle prayer. These ladies felt the all consuming fire of this ritual given. In this revelation there is a greater training, how to be a heavenly wife. That is why I have told you, I don't just need earthly wives, I can only use heavenly wives.
You have to be so pure...'
'This takes place in such privacy, people don't know anything about it'
'How can the spirit of God be here if there's something wrong here?'
'But when you are with me you must be inspired. You have to be inspired to assist me. Very few of my ladies have been allowed to assist me. Most of the ladies know of this training but very have been allowed to assist me because it takes a heavenly gift. You have to pray harder than ever.'
'You have been trained to keep you body covered from others when I am not present. You need to be as comfortable undressed as dressed when you are around each other.'
'You will be together and feel the heavenly fire and feel the Lord's love.'
Jeffs tells the girls, 'You ladies just don’t know how men out in the world are.'
A female voice replies: 'We’re so glad we don’t know.'
