The decision came as she said she was suffering from debilitating depression and drug addiction, that she feared would coninue. She hopes that the five years behind bars will give her a chance to start her life over again.
911 has been called several times in the past due to suicide attempts and scares.
While friends and experts say she is to young and emotionally stressed to fully understand what she was doing when she made the decision to take the prison sentence, she maintains this may be the only way of saving herself.
