You had to strip naked before the doors opened, or others would pull at your clothes to slow you down.” Her first shower was nearly violent. So what was it, "a trough of cold water" or a shower facility? "You had to strip naked...". Garbage. Nudity is not permitted in Thai prisons, even in the showers of Klong Prem, where she was housed...prisoners shower in their underwear. She's just a lying, bogan, failed heroin trafficker. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course she should be punished but for them to allow and treat prisoners as objects is not OK. oh ' so they should offer her a nice room in a hotel and a hot cup of tea then. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without exception, all of them comprise over-dramatic exaggerations and lies with the only intentions being to create agitation and as much money as possible for the authors or producers. So you have been there? What was the charge and how long were you in prison? If I may ask. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Angus55 Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 (edited) The punishment for being stupid enough to break drug laws in Thailand. Deserved all she got IMO.

Popular Post Purdey Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 Have visited a women's prison up north. Looked clean, with a nursery for newborns. However, when chatting to prisoners I discovered the meat was missing from their meals and prison officers carried thick bamboo sticks to teach women to fall to the floor when they walked past. Women were in for 30-40 years on drug offences. This western idiot was lucky. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to think that jail records and police cell incarcerations/court appearances (I also spent a few weeks in Lumpini police cells in separate circumstances) preclude the provision of visas/extentions; as I posted earlier, I still live in Thailand, legally. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuggling drugs in Thailand has to be one of the dumbest things you can do (but not quite as dumb as smuggling drugs in Indonesia). fully agree damage done was my first read before my first trip to Thailand in 1990, makes you aware of the dangers in dealing with drugs in Asia didnt and never went anywhere near that gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genericnic Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 She dodged the death penalty and spent the last 5 years of her sentence in an Australian prison. Overall, I would say she has very little to complain about. As Baretta always said "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbee2022 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 3 hours ago, webfact said: Holly Deane-Johns, an Australian woman who spent seven gruelling years in a Thai prison for heroin trafficking, has opened up about the appalling conditions she endured in the notorious Lardyao Women’s Correctional Institution, often dubbed the "Bangkok Hilton." In 2000, Holly, then aged 29, was caught trying to mail a parcel of heroin to her family in Perth. She faced the death penalty but was instead sentenced to 31 years in the overcrowded and squalid prison. Speaking on the True Crime Australia podcast with Gary Jubelin, Holly recounted the horror she faced upon arrival. “More than 100 Thai women were sitting on blankets. I asked if anyone spoke English, and one woman raised her hand. She found me a spot to sleep, but there was literally no visible floor space,” she said. The woman instructed others to lie down, revealing a sliver of the floor about nine inches wide. “That was my bed for the next seven years.” Prisoners had to bring their own essentials. “Some couldn’t afford blankets. I bought a couple and folded them to sleep on,” Holly shared. Picture courtesy of Holly Deane-Johns via Daily Star UK She detailed the primitive conditions, “In my section, there were 2,000 women and only 10 toilets in the yard. Fights over sleeping spots and washing facilities were common. As soon as the cell doors opened, it was a stampede to the trough of cold water. You had to strip naked before the doors opened, or others would pull at your clothes to slow you down.” Her first shower was nearly violent. “A trustee looked like she’d hit me with a metal bar for being slow, but I made it clear I’d fight back. We later became friends, and she let me store my blankets safely.” Holly faced relentless stress and frequent fights. “My first fight was with a friend, and I don’t even know what it was about. It was that crazy.” Even using the toilets was traumatic. “There was no privacy. I didn’t use the toilet for a month because I was so embarrassed. Eventually, I realised I had to adapt. I decided to live like a Thai.” After a long campaign, Holly was transferred to an Australian prison in 2007, where she served another five years before her release in 2012. Since then, she has authored a book titled “Holly’s Hell,” detailing her harrowing experience in the Bangkok Hilton, shedding light on the brutal reality behind its walls.
