New Records Expose Mackenzie Shirilla’s Shocking Life in Prison — 23 Violations and Counting

Mackenzie Shirilla, the Ohio woman serving a 15-years-to-life sentence for the 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend and a friend, is once again making headlines after newly released prison disciplinary records revealed a long list of rule violations during her incarceration.

The records show Shirilla has accumulated more than 20 conduct infractions since arriving at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in 2023. 


According to the documents, several of the violations involved allegations of sexual misconduct. In one incident from 2025, prison staff reported that Shirilla exposed her breasts during a video visitation call with a former inmate. 

The visitor allegedly engaged in explicit behavior during the same call, leading prison officials to impose a 60-day suspension of Shirilla’s video visitation privileges. Reports indicate that she admitted to the conduct violation. 

The records also reveal multiple contraband-related violations. 

During searches of her prison cell, officers reportedly discovered unauthorized items including altered clothing, unapproved footwear, mixed pills, and several nude magazine photographs. 

In a separate incident, authorities said they found medication prescribed to another inmate as well as a personal photograph that officials claimed depicted drug use. 

Shirilla disputed some of the allegations and offered explanations for certain items discovered in her possession. 

Beyond contraband violations, prison officials cited Shirilla for a variety of disciplinary issues, including being in unauthorized areas, violating dress code policies, excessive communication with unapproved visitors, and failing to properly perform assigned prison work duties. 

The infractions resulted in penalties ranging from restricted housing assignments to temporary suspensions of commissary, recreation, package, and electronic privileges. 

Shirilla’s case has drawn renewed public attention following the release of the Netflix documentary The Crash, which revisits the events surrounding the deadly 2022 incident.

 In 2023, a judge convicted Shirilla of murder after determining that she intentionally drove her vehicle into a building at speeds approaching 100 mph, killing her passengers. She continues to challenge her conviction through the appeals process. 

The newly surfaced prison records have fueled fresh debate about Shirilla’s conduct behind bars and could potentially become a factor in future parole considerations. 

While some violations were contested by Shirilla, the records paint a picture of an inmate who has repeatedly clashed with prison rules and staff throughout her incarceration.
