Antonia Brenner wasn't the most likely woman to become a nun, much less a nun who moved into a Tijuana prison: Born into a wealthy family in Beverly Hills, she was a twice-divorced mother of seven when she chose to live in Tijuana's notorious La Mesa to care for its forgotten inmates. In 1994, she single-handedly stopped a Halloween-night prison riot.
She became known as the Prison Angel.
