Insider reported that Sorokin was released from Albion in February 2021. In March she was taken into ICE custody per CNN. ICE claims that she overstayed her visa, per People. Although Sorokin’s life of glamor was over the moment she was arrested, Sorokin stayed booked and busy while she was incarcerated. In March 2022, CNN reported Sorokin gave an interview while she was in jail on the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy.” In it, she confessed that she had lied about her identity. She stated, “I guess I did.” Sorokin added, “I mean, I cannot tell an exact instance, but I’m sure.”
She also wrote an essay for Insider while she was imprisoned, detailing that she had contracted COVID-19. Per NBC News, she and other inmates later sued ICE on claims that they had been denied a booster shot. The lawsuit alleges that Sorokin, who was then being held at the Orange County Correctional Facility in Goshen, New York, was sick for weeks. Furthermore, it notes that she was dealing with multiple health issues including “chronic kidney infection as well as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.” While she was in custody, Netflix released “Inventing Anna,” based on Sorokin’s story.

According to Town & Country, actress Julia Garner, who portrayed Sorokin, met with her in prison. Of this experience, Garner said “she was extremely charming. She’s very gentle.
