The cases recounted here are based on true events. They provide you with a deep insight into correctional facilities and the German legal system. A killer fires nine shots into the face of his victim in public. His sentence: six years in prison. An inconspicuous prisoner must return to jail on the day of his release and commits suicide. A rapist refuses to admit his crime and accepts a longer sentence, which he serves in full without parole. Then he meets an old friend. A smuggler who had trafficked eight women under life-threatening conditions gets away with a fine. From the press, you only get the headlines: the start of the trial, the prosecutor's suspicions, and in the end, the conviction. The prosecutor's suspicions do not always turn out to be true.
