It's a bit of both. The core idea of 'Locked Up' might have roots in true events, but the plot and characters have been significantly fictionalized and embellished for entertainment purposes.
It could be a story about someone who was wrongly imprisoned for 12 years. Maybe there was a miscarriage of justice, like false evidence or a misidentification. For example, in some real - life cases, faulty eyewitness testimony has led to innocent people being locked up for long periods.
Maybe it was a whistleblower. In some cases, people who expose illegal or unethical activities are silenced by being locked away. If the story is based on a corporate or political scandal, the victim could be someone who knew too much and was made to disappear for 12 years through false imprisonments.
I don't think it is. Usually, stories like 'Locked in the Basement' are made up to thrill and engage the audience rather than being based on real events. There might be elements inspired by real-life situations, but as a whole, it's probably fictional.
I'm not entirely sure which specific 'locked in silence true story' you're referring to. It could be about a person who is literally locked in silence, perhaps due to some form of imprisonment or isolation where they are not allowed to speak. It might also be a metaphorical 'lock in silence' like someone with a psychological condition that prevents them from communicating verbally.
I don't think it's true. Most of the time, stories like this are made up to capture people's imaginations and don't have a basis in real events. They might draw inspiration from various sources but aren't factual.
