In the organizer's words:

Prison Break vs. reality. Jens Söring talks about the US prison

Tickets for Prison Break vs. Reality on 14.11.2026 in Gleis9, Bochum | Ticket-Shop

N.B.: You don't need to know "Prison Break" or any other prison series or movies to enjoy this event!

It's about the clichés that appear again and again in such fictional stories and the truth as Jens Söring experienced it for decades in a US prison.

Were there really prisoners who raped or sexually exploited their fellow inmates - like T-Bag?

Did female doctors or guards really enter into romantic relationships with inmates - like Sara Tancredi and Michael Scofield?

Were some of the men on death row really innocent - like Lincoln Burrows?

That's what this exciting three-hour evening program is all about - with a contemporary witness who can report on the reality of everyday life in US prison like no other in Germany.

This will be followed by an open Q&A session on the Haysom murder case, the Netflix series and any other topic. Finally, guests can have books signed and take photos.
