She began getting in trouble with the law in Arizona and after numerous arrests, her crimes landed her in a long-term locked juvenile facility.

She was regularly housed in solitary confinement after suicide attempts and charges against staff and inmates while incarcerated. Deena was released on her 18th birthday, after the judge decided against a transfer to prison for multiple years behind bars due to crimes committed inside of the facilities.

After her release from Arizona Juvenile Corrections care, Deena made the decision to change her life.
