## Resource

Mackenzie Shirilla's conduct file at the Ohio Reformatory for Women has thirty-six entries in less than three years — guilty on thirty-two. On recorded prison calls, she refuses rehabilitation, calls herself the third victim, and talks about becoming a life coach. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what the parole board does with a record like this. Shirilla was convicted of killing Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan in 2023 after driving her car at roughly a hundred miles an hour into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio. She's serving two concurrent sentences of fifteen years to life. Her first parole hearing is set for September 2037. The violations span the spectrum — unauthorized medication, altered prison clothing, contraband, refusing work details. But the entry that separates Shirilla from routine disciplinary issues is the one involving more than a hundred video visits with a released former inmate who was not an approved visitor, conducted under a false name. Faddis explains the mechanics of how parole boards evaluate institutional behavior. He breaks down whether conduct violations carry real weight in a hearing, what it signals when an inmate refuses every rehabilitation program offered, and whether Shirilla's recorded statements — on calls she knows are monitored — are creating a paper trail the board will use against her. The question at the center of this conversation: is Mackenzie Shirilla's behavior inside the institution quietly guaranteeing she stays there well beyond her earliest possible release date?
