What if you were thrust into an alien world where every move was monitored and every freedom restrained? That's the startling reality that encapsulates Anna Delvey's (Anna Sorokin) journey. A journey woven with the threads of being a fallen socialite, an immigrant, and a victim of the justice system. Anna, best known from Netflix's 'Inventing Anna', joins us to pull back the curtains on her life, both within the prison walls and after her release. 

From serving café meals to officers in a bakery assistant role while being a vegetarian, to rubbing shoulders with the infamous Harvey Weinstein in prison, Anna shares the surreal tales of her prison life. However, the most heart-wrenching part of her story lies in her struggle against the infantilizing prison system, gender violence, and the trauma that led to her longest sentence of 15 and a half months. Can you imagine the crushing feeling of being recalled for a tweet about your probation officer? 

As we navigate the world outside the prison with Anna, she opens up about the trials of her day-to-day life post-release, marked with an ankle monitor as a constant reminder of her past. We delve deep into her ongoing immigration case, the ominous threat of being extradited back to Germany, and the ramifications of a potential life-long ban from the country she once called home. Anna’s story is a testament to resilience and redemption, a riveting narrative that brings to light the struggles of immigrants, the flawed justice system, and the concept of fair punishment. Tune in, for this is a narrative that begs to be heard.
