Two versions, edited and uncut?

I just saw this on HBO Canada, and it was only 58 minutes long, mostly Mo'Nique's standup comedy at a women's prison. (Amazon also lists 58 minutes as the running time for this show on their Video On Demand, using an image that says "unrated" at top and "uncut, uncensored, and unbelievable" at bottom).

But when I read reviews of this online, it's also a documentary of the women in the prison, totalling 70 minutes (DVD sold by Amazon, using the same image as their Video On Demand) to 72 minutes (RottenTomatoes)

So I missed 12-14 minutes of the rest of it. What are the differences?

coulda been your cellmate is the comedy bit, and the other one is a documentary.... in the comedy bit, there are clips from the documentary in the beginning....
basically, she taped two shows in the 2 days she was at the women's prison.... 1st day was interviews, for the doc, and the 2nd day was the stand up....

It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...
