Overview

• Becker’s memoir, Inside, is due September 10 and recounts his time in Wandsworth and Huntercombe with 23-hour lock-ins, nights of screaming, invasive searches, overcrowding, cold cells and ready access to drugs.
• He frames the sentence as life‑altering reflection, accepting personal responsibility after his April 2022 insolvency conviction, roughly seven months in custody and December 2022 release with deportation to Germany.
• He describes lingering effects such as needing the bedroom door shut to sleep and feeling even a large mattress like a narrow prison bunk.
• He says two children are absent from the book—Amadeus due to a legal agreement and Anna to protect her from publicity—and he discouraged their visits, adding that calls with Amadeus were blocked by his mother.
• Now based in Milan, he credits wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro—whom he married in 2024—with steadying his life as they expect a child in December.
