Lauren begins by sharing her background and how she ended up with a twelve year sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. She served 9.5 year of the sentence and it was toward the end of the sentence, during her time at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex in Florida, when things got really bad.
