101 Days

101 Days: The Stadelheim Prison Experience is a darkly comic autobiographical novel inspired by true events.

After a drunken misunderstanding involving a broken heart, a taxi, and a toy gun, American musician Kasey Jones finds himself locked inside Stadelheim Prison in Munich, facing a charge that could destroy his life. Alone, terrified, and wildly out of his depth, Kasey is thrown into a world of guards, doctors, smugglers, singers, hustlers, and damaged men trying to survive one locked door at a time.

Then he meets Tschabo.

Dangerous, hilarious, loyal, criminal, impossible—Tschabo becomes Kasey’s guide through the strange underground society of Cell 25, where bad coffee is currency, prison wine is a miracle, music becomes survival, and friendship can be both salvation and trouble.

As corruption, drugs, betrayal, and absurdity twist through the prison walls, Kasey must learn what it means to survive without losing himself completely.

Funny, raw, cinematic, and emotionally messy, 101 Days blends prison drama, buddy-film chaos, dark humor, and fictionalized memoir into a story about guilt, survival, friendship, and the strange things people become when the world locks the door.
