On February 10, 1992 Mike Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison for allegedly raping 18-year-old Miss Black Rhode Island, Desiree Washington, during the Miss Black America Beauty pageant in Indianapolis on July 19, 1991.
Fast forward to 2013 and Tyson vividly recalls his time being locked up. He served three of the six year sentence.
Iron Mike sat down with CNN's A.J. Hammer to talk about his experience behind bars.
"I was living the life of luxury in prison too, just not the same as I was outside," Tyson said of his life inside. "I had food, I was able to get what I wanted. I had girlfriends, it's just not like your freedom."
The boxing champion became so institutionalized that by the time he was released in March 1995 he didn't think he would be able to cope in the outside world.
"After I left prison I have to admit I was scared," Mike admitted during his One Man Show. "You ain't gonna believe this sh*t. I had $380 million to $400 million in my bank account. And not a clue how I was gonna survive the next 400 seconds."
Mike has since gotten his life together and is doing very well. Check out the interview below.

Legendary producer Just Blaze and Jay-Z's go to audio engineer Young Guru recently got a chance to pick each other's brains as they sat down for an interview with Hard Knock TV.
Just Blaze and Young Guru sit down for an exclusive conversation on Hard Knock TV. The interview starts of with Young Guru asking Just Blaze about his new song Higher and about making transition from Hip Hop into EDM. Just Blaze says that he has always made electronic beats but that he didn't always have a place to release those beats which were often ahead of their times. Now that the genre lines are so blurred it is seen as more acceptable to listen to everything. As the conversation continues Just Blaze says that now he is "comfortable doing whatever it is I want...I'm comfortable playing what I want, I'm comfortable wearing what I want and just being me as an individual...not that I wasn't comfortable with who I am but I was definitely doing a keeping up with the Jones kind of thing...I had to have a fresher jersey than Dame but meanwhile Dame was getting them for free from Mitchell & Ness cause he is Dame Dash and I had to pay $500 for it and I had to this every day for years straight..."
Young Guru tells Just Blaze that one of the biggest things that he had learned from him was to construct the record in his head before he sampled the parts. Guru talks about the making of Jay-Z's Song Cry and that when he first heard the sample Just Blaze was going to use he thought it sounded off but that after Jay-Z laid his verse to the raw beat at night, they came back in the morning and it sounded like a masterpiece after Just Blaze was done building the track. That day Jay called 2-3 producers and told them that they were not on Just Blaze's level.
Just Blaze continues by telling Guru how Jay's Girls, Girls, Girls was originally intended for Ghostface and how Busta Rhymes originally heard You don't Know and he wanted it for himself.

The injuries suffered by the woman Miguel landed on when he unsuccessfully attempted to jump over a section of the crowd at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, may be way more serious than originally thought.
Miguel and Khyati Shah backstage after the accident
Vip Bhola, the attorney for Khyati Shah, tells TMZ that his client may have suffered brain damage as a result of the accident.
"Some of the difficulties she's experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury," Bhola said.
Bhola added that Billboard Music Awards officials only offered Shah an ice pack instead of having her taken to the hospital.
Once test results come back from a neurologist, Shah will decide whether she will file a lawsuit or not.

Shaquille O'Neal just won a huge legal victory over his ex-mistress Vanessa Lopez. Lopez filed a lawsuit against Shaq in 2010, accusing him of racketeering, invasion of privacy, and intentional inflection of emotional distress.
In the suit filed in Miami Dade County, Lopez claimed the former NBA All-Star started harassing her after she told him she was pregnant. The harassment allegedly continued when Shaq accused her of cheating on him. Once the relationship was over threats reportedly began.
As soon as the trial started earlier this year things started going downhill fast for Lopez. Her lawyers abandoned her almost immediately.
To make matters worse, TMZ reports that the judge in the case didn't buy Lopez's story and repeatedly caught her in lies.
"[Lopez] lied often. She lied about facts important to the defense, and she demonstrated an utter disrespect for the system of justice," the judge stated.
Lopez was seeking punitive damages, but the judge dismissed her lawsuit on the basis of fraud on the court with prejudice, meaning she can't refile.
