Brittney Griner felt 'less than human' during her 10-month imprisonment in Russia, describing inhumane conditions and suicidal thoughts.
Griner's harrowing experience is the focus of an upcoming '20/20' special with Robin Roberts, set to air May 1.
The interview coincides with the release of her memoir 'Coming Home,' detailing her detention and advocacy for wrongfully detained Americans.
