Raise your hand if you still thought that Marion Jones was still in prison. Jones was released from a federal detention facility back in 2008 after completing a six-month sentence she received for lying to federal agents about using performance-enhancing drugs.
Just two years after her release, Jones is sprinting in a new direction with a new John Singleton directed documentary called "Marion Jones: Press Pause." According to Singleton,
I thought it was very interesting that this black woman – gotta call it what it is – was jailed where few if any other athletes, no matter the sport, have ever served any time for their involvement with steroids.
In addition to the documentary that will air on ESPN, Jones is prepping a book titled, On the Right Track, which touches on the difficulty of prison life.
