A Tulsa woman published a book that she said is a true story about her own life. Raittia Rogers grew up in Tulsa and said she was drawn to a criminal lifestyle.
Eventually, she said her choices caught up with her and she found herself in prison, and decided to turn her life around.
Her book has been turned into an award-winning documentary and she now speaks at schools, juvenile detention centers and churches about her story.
Raittia joined us on the Arca Continental Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch to talk about her story. | CLICK HERE to learn more about her book, "I Broke Out of Prison."
