Audio from prison phone calls obtained by TMZ reveals that Mackenzie Shirilla is struggling to acclimate to life behind bars. TMZ’s Jakson Buhaj has more.

Mackenzie Shirilla is already complaining of cabin fever as she serves two concurrent sentences of 15 years to life for double murder.

According to a jail audio call obtained by TMZ on Monday, June 1, Mackenzie, 21, complained to her mother, Natalie Shirilla, about her downtime behind bars. Mackenzie expressed frustration that she doesn’t have access to her commissary, an in-facility store that allows incarcerated individuals to purchase various items, including snacks, hygiene products, writing materials and more.

“How am I going to make this one book stretch?” Mackenzie asked, adding that she was not planning on “reading the same book over and over again.”

Mackenzie also told her mother that they need to “figure out this iPad s**t ASAP” so she can communicate with her mother and friends while in prison.

At one point in their conversation, Mackenzie — who has faced multiple disciplinary actions since her incarceration — complained about how slow the day was going for her.

“Like it’s only 3:30, how is it only 3:30?” she asked. “For real I did not even know it was 3:30 I thought it was like 5. It’s 3:30.”

When her mom asked if she could get a job in prison to help pass the time, Mackenzie claimed she didn’t think it was allowed.

“No, ‘cause of the charges that I have, they don’t let people with charges like me get jobs, so I’m told. I haven’t asked the staff yet though,” she said. “But I probably can’t get a f**king job cause I’m on the seventh floor. They’re probably not gonna let me get a job.”

Mackenzie shared that she was “so irritated” and wanted another book or cards to pass the time.

“Like literally there is nothing for me to do in my room, nothing,” she said.

Mackenzie is currently behind bars at the Ohio Reformatory for Women. She was convicted of 12 felony charges, including murder, during a 2023 bench trial after she drove her Toyota Camry at over 100 mph into a brick wall while her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and friend Davion Flanagan were passengers in the vehicle when she was 17.

Russo and Flanagan were not wearing seatbelts and died as a result of the accident. Mackenzie was the only one to survive despite sustaining severe injuries. Authorities, and later a judge, determined that Mackenzie had intentionally crashed the vehicle and purposefully caused the boys’ deaths.

Mackenzie, who tested positive for marijuana at the time of the incident, has maintained her innocence, claiming she cannot remember the crash. Her case entered the pop culture zeitgeist after it was the subject of the Netflix documentary The Crash.

Unfortunately for Mackenzie, her boredom behind bars is going to remain a constant as she is not eligible for parole until October 2037.
