When we think of prisons, we picture strict rules, heavy doors, and concrete walls. But what actually happens to human identity when a person is reduced to a case file?

Join us for an eye-opening lecture with Gerlan den Braber, writer, philosopher, sociotherapist, and former prison guard, as we dive into „Prison Talk and Institutionalization.“ Drawing from his firsthand experience working inside the correctional system, Gerlan will explore how total institutions shape human connection, how rigid systems impact personal autonomy, and what happens to free will and responsibility behind closed doors.

Whether you study psychology or you are simply curious about the hidden dynamics of institutional life, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Come grab a seat, ask questions, and rethink the system with us.
