Michelle Knight has new lease on life since being rescued after a decade of torture at the hands of Ariel Castro but she recalled how her captor would lock her and the other women in a room when people came to visit their house of horrors.

Knight, now 33, has changed her name to Lily Rose Lee, and she told Savannah Guthrie how Castro would barricade them into an upstairs room in the Cleveland home.

She spoke on the TODAY Show Friday that Castor “Would take speakers, a couch, chairs and block anyone from getting up the stairs at all.”

Along with Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, she showed the room where they were held captive on a model reconstruction of the home.

"There were days like he'll come in and he'll just do bad things in front of me, and I'll take her hand and I'll tell her everything's gonna be OK,'' Knight recalled.

"One day we'll get out. One day we'll be free. One day we won't be voiceless."
