In the inaugural episode of Netflix's reality series featuring celebrity contestants, Boris Becker discusses his 231-day imprisonment. The former tennis champion, sentenced for financial misconduct, emphasizes acceptance as crucial to his survival during this traumatic experience. He reflects on the challenges of processing imprisonment but concludes that maintaining control over his mindset was pivotal. Additionally, he notes the futility in worrying about loved ones, suggesting that focusing on mental resilience was key. Becker acknowledges his past missteps yet believes he emerged from prison as a better individual.
I was in prison for 231 days but ultimately after a few weeks I realised it's about acceptance. Yes, I did this, so move forward, and I think that's the reason I survived prison. Maybe I came out a better man.
You don't really want to share prison stories because they are terrible and are very personal and very intimate.
The only thing you can actually control is your mind when running down a sentence.
At that moment it's very, very difficult, but it didn't stress me out.
