My name is Ian Bick, and you're tuned in to Locked in with Ian Bick. On this week's episode, I'm interviewing Michelle Gray. Michelle was convicted on

charges relating to larceny and spent time in a woman state prison. We all make mistakes,

experience failure, and fall down in life. But if you decide to get back up and use it as fuel

to your fire, you can choose to not let it define you. You can make it through to the other side and turn it

into an opportunity. I went from owning a popular nightclub when I was 19 years old to becoming a

federal inmate by the time I was 21. Join me, Ian Bick, as I interview people from all over the

country who have experienced the rock bottom of the American justice system. Michelle, welcome to the show. Hello. Shelly, right? Yeah, you like Shelly. Okay. And the intro we did, we're calling you Michelle, though. That's fine. Got to give your full legal name. That is fine. Awesome. You're our first female guest. Thanks for having me. I think the audience is really going to appreciate this conversation. I know we were very much looking forward to it because there's such a fascination with like a woman's female prison. So we're excited for it. Oh, it's all it's cracked up to be and so much more. Awesome. All right. So we like to start at the beginning. Sure. How did you grow up? Where are you from?

What was your family like and your childhood like?

All right.

So I grew up in Stratford, in Connecticut.

My family life was great.

My father was never really in the picture, but my parents were divorced before I was even

born.

Love my father to death, but really wasn't like an example in my life.

My mom was a single mom.

I have an older sister.

My mom grew up in, you know, in Connecticut as well.
