"My story isn't about prison," Mansour said. "It's about a person going to prison and not allowing a prison experience to defeat them. I'm not someone who ran around raping and pillaging. I made mistakes. But I've always been a respectable person. I've always been a likable person. I try my best to give back. A lot of people that know that side of me want to see me succeed. I know I will."
