\"\"STARZ today announced it is developing “The Case of Cyntoia Brown<\/em><\/strong>” limited drama series inspired by the story of Cyntoia Brown-Long who served 15 years of a life sentence for killing a man when she was 16 years old. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, executive producer of the STARZ “Power<\/em>” Universe series and “Black Mafia Family<\/em>,” and his G-Unit Film & Television executive produce with La La Anthony (“Power<\/em>,” “The Chi<\/em>“), who has been a long-time supporter of Brown-Long’s and brought the project to G-Unit. Santa Sierra (“Power Book III<\/em>: Raising Kanan<\/em>,” “Vida<\/em>,” “Narcos<\/em>“), a co-executive producer, is writing the limited series. Brown-Long and her husband Jamie Long will consult on the project.<\/p>\n

Based on Brown-Long’s book, Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System<\/a>, the series tells the story of Cyntoia Brown-Long who was sex trafficked by a boyfriend, tried as an adult at 16 years old, and sentenced to life in prison for aggravated robbery and first-degree murder. Despite being a minor, the sentence required her to serve at least 51 years before being eligible for parole consideration, which would not make her eligible for parole until she was 67.<\/p>
