Porn Star Lana Rhoades Calls Prison Made Her Life 'straight'
JAKARTA - Lana Rhoades' journey to fame and fortune is not easy. This successful porn star whose real name is Amara Maple is a troubled teenager.

Reporting from the Daily Star , Monday, October 12, Lana, who was born in rural McHenry, Illinois, told host Alex Cooper: “I went to prison once, I was a teenager. I'm 16 ...
“I hang out with people who are doing something wrong. I'm from Chicago so this is very, very common.
“Basically I have a girlfriend and she has friends, people who are older than me.
"They broke into the house and took some things and I was with them.
To be honest, Lana continued, he didn't take anything for himself or make money from the things they took. She just liked him and she was constantly with them.
"I'm hanging out with the wrong people. I was arrested maybe about 20 times before I went to prison, "Lana added.
“I used heroin and drugs when I was young. I was completely wrong. "
During her time in prison, Lana lived in a small cell with a leaky ceiling and insects crawling on her body while she slept.
You must have thought Lana would get goosebumps when you thought back to her time in prison. But in fact, he described those times as "the best thing that happened to him".
The erotic actress explained: “I went to prison and never used drugs again when I got out.
"I hardly drank (alcohol) or never committed a crime after - it really got me straight."
“I don't think I will be where I am today if I didn't go to prison. It saved me. "
Lana is grateful that she had "proper authority and guidance" in her life while she was incarcerated.
He also "felt the love" of his bodyguards who helped heal the trauma he had suffered.
The adult entertainer added: "I really feel like they care about me and it makes a world of difference."
After being released in prison, Lana worked at a restaurant as a hostess. He later became a striptease dancer. This is her first porn job.
Even though Lana had dreamed of being in front of the camera since she was a teenager, the reality was different from what she expected.
“To be honest, when I first got into porn, even the day before I was going to shoot my first scene, I never thought I would have sex with someone.
"I'm young and naive."
She spent less than a year of her life making X- rated films - but this was enough to make her one of the most watched stars on Pornhub.
