About Donna

Hi, I’m Donna Hall, and if you love gripping True Crime stories, The Hall Closet is for you! But this isn’t just about crime—it’s about survival, finding safety, and reclaiming power.

In The Hall Closet, I dive into my twisted and chaotic upbringing as part of a lower-tier crime family outside Philadelphia in the ‘80s and ‘90s. We weren’t the Corleones, but trust me, we made headlines.

• My mom spent time in prison for child endangerment
• My stepdad, John Hall, was the Philly PD’s go-to snitch, turning on his own family to save himself
• He helped put over two dozen people behind bars, including his own stepson—and sent an innocent man to death row for nearly 24 years

Told with off the rip, unflinching honesty, this is a story you won’t hear anywhere else.
