Gypsy-Rose Blanchard recalls horrific moments in 'despicable' county jail

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard just revealed some shocking insights of her time in jail.

The famed media personality who was convicted for second-degree murder of her own mother, Dee Dee, launched her first autobiography, My Time to Stand: A Memoir, detailing the traumas she underwent.

Before the launch of her book on December 10-, she exclusively tole PEOPLE how she wanted to give her story “justice” via the memoir. "You want to tell it with as much honesty and vulnerability as possible. So, it was quite a rollercoaster ride,” she stated.

"County jail is a despicable place. It was dirty and crowded, the food was expired and toxic, and the people were ruthless, no matter the tier they were on," she wrote of Missouri's Greene County Jail where she was for a year.

Blanchard was then moved to a less rough environment of Chillicothe Correctional Center, where she served eight years of her 10-year sentence.

"Roommates came and went. I never knew what the next naked lady would do," she wrote, recalling particularly a notable cellmate who "liked to play in her own poop."

"When you are under this type of watch, you don’t leave the cell. There isn’t even one hour of rec time in a yard. We only were allowed one ten-minute phone call a day and one shower. So, pretty much all day long, I was forced to watch my naked roommate delight in her excrement. As if it were Play-Doh, y’all,” Gypsy-Rose Blanchard mentioned in her book.

"I was horrified, confused, and trapped like this for four months," she admitted.
