Where does the term “Prison Bae” come from?

“Bae” is an internet term used in endearment. It stands for Before Anyone Else. The 19-year-old convict acquired the name “Prison Bae,” as the internet strangely adores her.

This is not the first time the internet has doted on a convict. Jeremy Meeks became the internet’s crush in 2014 after his mugshot went viral.

The 37-year-old now has a flourishing modeling career upon his release from the Mendota Federal Correctional Institution.

Jeremy Meeks, aka “the original Prison Bae”, has amassed over 1.6 million followers on his Instagram. He calls himself an Artist in his bio.

This is not the first time Murrell-French has found herself in jail. Reportedly she had committed an array of criminal acts which had already landed her in the juvenile criminal system.

She is now an inmate at the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She has been charged with one count of first-degree assault.

During Murrel- French’s court hearing, Twin Cities claimed that she cried and spoke softly in court. Before her sentencing, she said that she was “very remorseful” for her mistake. She then apologized for her actions.
