I Was In Prison With Mackenzie Shirilla: The Real Story Behind Netflix’s The Crash

After Netflix’s The Crash reignited national attention around Mackenzie Shirilla, Rachel Uchitel sits down with former inmate Kat Crowder, who spent time incarcerated with her in Ohio prison.

Kat shares what Mackenzie was really like behind bars, why she says the woman featured in the documentary didn’t match the person she observed in prison, and what inmates thought about one of the most talked-about true crime cases in recent years. She also discusses Mackenzie’s prison reputation, disciplinary reports, relationships behind bars, and the reaction inmates had to seeing the documentary while incarcerated.

But this conversation becomes much more than a story about Mackenzie. Kat opens up about her own troubled past, her father’s suicide, addiction, multiple arrests, a high-speed police chase that landed her in prison, and the daughter she believes ultimately saved her life. It’s a powerful story about accountability, redemption, second chances, and rebuilding after prison.
