Overcrowding, riots, dysfunctions... Swiss prisons and their inmates are at the heart of the news. But what happens afterward, once an inmate walks through the prison gates and regains their freedom? Is a new life really possible? And under what conditions? Are the support measures put in place by the state effective? How do ex-inmates experience reintegration? Two former prisoners anonymously share their experiences of their release and daily life. A report by Sophie Iselin, directed by Rino Muccigrosso.
