She described her time there as a \u201cliving hell\u201d, and recalls witnessing inmates hanging themselves from staircases and stabbed.<\/p>\n

Cassie told Ant Middleton on SAS Australia: "I'm the person who committed the crime, but I was set up by someone who I considered to be my friend. I had a lot of time to kind of process having been manipulated and tricked by someone I thought was my friend… having been raped."<\/p>\n

She described life within the prison as one of sadness and pain, adding that she believed she would end up dead.<\/p>\n
