In this Sept. 20, 2019, photo, Cynthia Brown-Long poses in Nashville, Tenn. For nearly half of her life, Brown-Long was locked up. At 16, she was arrested for robbing and killing a man she says picked her up for sex and later sentenced to life in prison.  But two months ago, Brown-Long, 31, walked out of a Tennessee prison after successfully petitioning the Tennessee governor for her clemency. She’s now speaking for herself in her memoir, “Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System,” released Tuesday, Oct. 15. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)
