During her time in an Italian prison as a suspect in the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher and after she was convicted of the murder, Amanda Knox has been keeping a detailed prison diary, portions of which have been leaked to the press.

Knox, who was an American student studying in Italy, was convicted of the murder of Kercher on December 5, 2009. She was sentenced to 26 years in prison for the crime along with her former boyfriend Rafaelle Sollecito.

Her family has told the press their plans to appeal the ruling, a process that may take many years. Both in public and in her diary, Knox has always maintained her innocence.http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/111426/Amanda-Knox-placed-on-suicide-watch/

In the diary, Knox maintains her innocence and yearns for freedom. Knox also reportedly details her sexual history, including whether or not she used protection, and discusses the fan mail she has received from men who think she is "hot" and "want to have sex" with her.Fresh Intelligence (Radar Online): Inside Foxy Knoxy's Prison Diary (June 24, 2008)

After her conviction in December 2009, new entries about a prison guard that was allegedly making sexual advances on her were reportedly leaked to the press. Knox reportedly wrote, "When I told him I thought it strange that he was interested in my sexuality (I was being polite, what I meant was RUDE) he acted like it was no big deal and it was my fault for not drawing the line."http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/111426/Amanda-Knox-placed-on-suicide-watch/
