Therapie für Gangster

Documentary film about the everyday life of drug addicts in prison: Anyone who has committed a crime in Germany due to alcohol or drug addiction is usually not sent to a conventional prison, but to the so-called "disciplinary prison". There, the perpetrators also get help to overcome their addiction. In most cases, the place is not a prison, but a clinic for forensic psychiatry, in which the inmates can move comparatively freely. Filmmaker Sobo Swobodnik accompanies a number of very different prisoners through their everyday lives and to therapy sessions. In conversations and interviews, they talk about their life paths, their addiction, their therapeutic progress and plans for the future.
