After her release, Megan Hawkins, known as Dolla on the Netflix series “Jailbirds,” found herself back in legal trouble. The show, which premiered in May 2019, followed the lives of female inmates at the Sacramento County Jail, highlighting their personal stories, struggles, and interactions with the criminal justice system.
Dolla gained a certain level of notoriety from her appearance on the show, which also brought her personal life into the public eye.

Her re-arrest sparked conversations about the challenges that former inmates face when re-entering society, including the lack of support systems, which can sometimes lead to recidivism. Dolla’s story is a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding rehabilitation and the factors that can influence a person’s path after incarceration.
