For prison inmates, shielding them from the outside world involves far more than just the traditional, high concrete wall. This is demonstrated by a look behind the scenes at Lucerne's Grosshof prison. Contact with the outside world is severely limited: no internet, no cell phone, and only five visiting hours per month. The prison director and an inmate discuss walls and freedom. This report is based on the current exhibition "The Wall: From Musegg to Gaza" at the Lucerne Historical Museum.
