PRISON WORLD: Prison Drawings and Prisoners' Plight

THE WORLD OF CRIME: Crime Stories and Prison Life. Our guest: Gergely Fliegauf, criminologist and psychologist. 

Why would someone get a tattoo in prisonwhere even owning the necessary tools isn’t a given? What do these marks signify, and what stories lie behind them?

The world of prison: Prison Sketches & Slaves offers a glimpse into one of the lesser-known yet quite routine aspects of the criminal justice system. Prison tattoos are not merely body art: in many cases, they bear the imprint of a life journey, a sense of belonging to a community, or a personal story.

In the first part of the program, we’ll explore the history of the ídungeon and the daily lives of the inmates through a themed guided tour. Afterward, we invite interested participants to join us for a discussion at Ruttner Café, where our guest, Gergely Fliegauf, criminologist and psychologist , will help us gain a deeper understanding of the closed world of prisoners, their unique system of symbols, and the motivations underlying criminal acts.

What kind of meaning can a particular motif convey? How are these forbidden body images created? What do they reveal about the people who wear them?

Participants can find answers to these and many other questions at this special afternoon event.

🔐 True stories, fascinating connections, and expert discussions await everyone interested in theand the often-hidden aspects of human destinies.
