She is unmarried and has a 4-year-old son who is being cared for by her mother. Cassandra completed 10th grade, but she did not graduate from high school. She has worked as a cashier at a grocery store in the past but was terminated for not showing up to work. Cassandra has reported using heroin in the past but reports that she has not used the substance for approximately 8 months. Cassandra also reported intermittent alcohol use but does not believe that she abuses the substance. Cassandra has 2 close friends who she considers to be like sisters. She reported that they spend quite a bit of time together, as they live in the same studio apartment. Both friends were arrested at the same time as Cassandra and have entered the same correctional facility with the same charges.

She reported feelings of depression and anxiety but has not received any formal treatment.
