She was facing 4 counts of murder… and turned down a life sentence.

In this powerful episode of Break Phree Podcast, Brianna Render shares her raw and unfiltered journey through the criminal justice system — from refusing immunity and going to trial, to serving nearly a decade behind bars.

While incarcerated at one of Georgia’s highest security women’s prisons, she navigated survival, leadership, and transformation — ultimately leaving prison with multiple certifications and a new purpose.

But this story goes deeper.

Brianna opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her best friend, Shauntrice Murry, who died in custody after alleged medical neglect — a story later covered by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She shares what she witnessed, how it changed her, and why she continues to advocate for justice and prison reform.

Now a business owner in Atlanta, Brianna is creating second chances for others through her spa — hiring formerly incarcerated individuals and helping them rebuild their lives.

And in a full-circle moment that will stop you in your tracks…

Her 20-year-old son is now facing the death penalty.

This isn’t just a story… it’s a conversation we all need to hear.
