Giving inmates a harsh prison term, will deter many others from becoming criminals, which is a great benefit to society!

The actual numbers of the prison population over the past 10 years tell a different story.

trying to make money from her crime, she should be put back and the book destroyed. She deliberately tried to send drugs knowing it was highly illegal, she should not be able to make money from her crime, will be total BS trying to suck people in with all her BS, should not have let her out

She got the punishment she deserved, she served her time and now should be allowed to move on with her life.   Perhaps her book might wake-up some girl somewhere who is on a dangerous path.

I used to see these tourists getting busted all the time in Pai. Used to watch it. Locals sell heroin no problem. Actually a cop would be watching. Or the locals would call the police when through.  Most ridiculous thing I have ever witnessed. Open and in plain site.

No, a product of my personal experience as both a visitor and an inmate, I've been in there, that is the only insight that is needed...and I'm not selling a story.

"That's the only insight that is needed" - seriously???

Because Liverpool Lou says so - let's dismiss all other countless inmates personal recollections different from yours as exaggerated hogwash and never mind the countless reports ranging from respected news sources such as Thompson Reuters, Bloomberg to Human rights watch bodies, documented reports by numerous government agencies and countless undercover videos smuggled out of infamous Thai prisons ..... in direct contradiction of your sanitised version of the gospel truth.

And you're not selling a story! This takes the cake! Of course not since you're still living in Thailand - and presumably have no desire to go back there accused for severely tarnishing the good image of Thailand.

Abraham Lincoln comes to my mind:

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

so where do you store stuff you buy or is it day by day? if going by the bed situation you're all on the floor without any space, os is that being slightly exaggerated?

Lockers are available to store personal items.

Yes, everyone sleeps on the floor that was covered with what we used to call linoleum that was cleaned every day, not bare concrete.  A thin mattress was provided with a blanket and a tiny pillow.  When I was there all inmates had enough space to sleep with a good few inches between each person...none of that "nine inches of bare concrete floor" nonsense.

All of whom, without exception, are selling something - I'm not!   I don't care if you believe me or not, it doesn't make any difference to me.

Really? Countless videos smuggled out of and showing Klong Prem, the place the Aussie druggie and I were in and the only place that I am posting about?   Link to just one of those "countless" videos, that directly contradict my experience, if you can.  Or maybe you have some personal knowledge about Klong Prem that you would like to share that would justify your calling me a liar?

And how do you justify calling every other former inmate with a vastly different recollection of life behind bars in Thailand a liar?

Nothing further

White women can't handle being held accountable for their actions. 

 

Far too many think they are above the law - and free from consequence. 

 

You can see that in the imbalance in sentencing when they are caught. And there's a bizarre synergy. Women love nothing more than reading about other women behaving badly. 

 

Over 80% of published pornography and erotica is written by women. 50 Shades of Grey a prime example. "My time in a female foreign prison" is a prime example of the self pity genre. 

 

Still moaning about being caught twenty years later. Pitiful indeed. 

your post is pitiful.

No sympathy whatsoever.  Shame you didn't have to serve the whole 31 years in there.  And the fact that you now intend to profit from your criminal activities is a disgrace.

She could care less about your sympathy and she is not profiting from her criminal activities ,

Because I was there, I know exactly how life goes on in Klong Prem and I am not a liar.   I do not have a book or movie to sell, that, without exception, every other ex-prisoner does and, without their exaggerations, over-dramatisations and invented situations, no one would pay a penny for.

"Nothing further".

Of course, you've "nothing further", not even one single link to one of those "countless" videos of Klong Prem that you claim exist that contradict my comments, or, perhaps, your own personal account of Klong Prem.   Why do you choose to disparage me as being a liar whilst preferring to believe those doing nothing but making a few quid out of it?

She is, she's selling a book about her being jailed for drug smuggling, a criminal activity of which she was convicted!

My post is accurate. 

 

The societal tragedy is that too many so-called intelligent people can't see the FACTS below their nose. Reputational damage is the primary weapon of women, this is a known psychological fact. 

 

I also suggest you google "who reads erotica, men or women?" And you'll get a shock. 

 

You're reply only displays your knee-jerk ignorance. You can start with this psychological paper. Read it. Educate yourself before commenting. Educate yourself before embarrassing yourself again.

She's just trying to make a profit from the punishment she deserved.

Man, some of you guys are ruthless. You should be humbling yourselves and proclaiming "but for the grace of God, there goes I". Were you not young once and did some pretty foolish things? The only difference between you and Holly is that she got caught and you didn't. The real crime here is how the Thais treat prisoners. If there is one thing I have learned from living here for 14 years is that there is very little compassion, empathy and forgiveness extended to fellow human beings in this country. Feeding the fish and soi dogs for the sake of "making merit" takes priority over caring for their fellow man. Whatever happened to the concept of "an eye for an eye". The excessive punishment she received comes nowhere near to fitting the crime. 

None of the "ruthless " ones could go through what she went through -that's whay they are triggered.

nonsense .... how many lives has she destroyed in the past when she was using, selling, pushing & trafficking drugs.

And now she's trying to make money by writing a book ...

Hope the book is a big flop and she gets sick and goes to hospital for 6 months.

"White women can't handle being held accountable for their actions. "   The article is about one white woman  she was more than held accountable for her actions"

 

"Far too many think they are above the law - and free from consequence."

The article is about one woman and her experiences. 

 

 

"You can see that in the imbalance in sentencing when they are caught. And there's a bizarre synergy. Women love nothing more than reading about other women behaving badly". 

There was an imbalance in her sentencing but not in her favor.

Your response to my post calling your post pitiful is to post a scientific study that has absolutely nothing to do with her situation or the article.   Pitiful and bizarre .  If anyone else wants to read an article about women competing with their rivals in relationships the link is above.
