Jens Söring - Prison Break vs. Reality

Jens Söring on life inside a US prison

Note: you don't need to have seen "Prison Break" or any other prison series or film to enjoy this evening! The focus is on the clichés that keep appearing in fictional prison stories - and on the truth as Jens Söring lived it over decades in a US penitentiary.

Were there really inmates who raped or sexually exploited fellow prisoners - like T-Bag? Did doctors or female guards actually enter into romantic relationships with inmates - like Sara Tancredi and Michael Scofield? Were some of the men on death row truly innocent - like Lincoln Burrows?

These are the questions at the heart of this gripping three-hour evening programme, presented by a first-hand witness who can speak about the reality of US prison life like no one else in Germany. Afterwards, there will be an open Q&A covering the Haysom murder case, the Netflix series, and anything else the audience wants to ask. Guests can also get books signed and take photos at the end.
