As this is not just a Thai forum but a South East Asia forum , my heart goes to all those foreign prisoners from serving time in Asia jails.

I got home this morning after a night mopping floors and stairwells to relax by putting YouTube on ....only to see a video of a elderly Australian man already served 12 years in a Cebu jail ,

Cebu is in Philippines if anyone doesnt know

He is in the Cebu City corrections centre since 2014

12 years and he is still waiting for his court case to come up , 62yo ,served already 12 years and says he is not guilty , his ex wife and her family set him up so she could get the house , he was in tears and watching him has distressed me too and I'm crying as I write this !!!!!

I had no idea this poor man was locked in such dirty squalid conditions,

How many of these foreign prisoners must suffer like this before we do something

I will probably go to the Philippines and take food to all the foreign prisoners from Australia and UK and maybe American ones although I don't get on with American people

I really feel sorry for this poor man

And ..he said he didn't do it ,

he doesn't look like a bad man ,he looks and acts very nice ,not a bad man like some on here !!!

He seems to have a beautiful soul and I am very sad an innocent man is locked up 12 years

Really ?

He would be the first person in prison to proclaim their innocence!

According to this Ai thing there are currently 10 Aussies , 19 American,6 UK in Philippines jails

Now if you think Thailand jails are bad look at the Philippines, no aircon

Do something!!!!

I would prefer UK jails to be more harsh, now they sound like a holiday camp, plus leave early

You should inlist a team of your old mop swinging co workers, do some basic training and break that Ozzie out o there. Plenty of movies on prison break outs to guide you as team leader, go bust him free GG.

You assume how others here are in real life and not how he is? Granted a few here act a certain way which is likely how they really are but you need to know the full story before you judge.

The best criminals in life have usually been those who appeared very normal to likeable.

Most criminals won't admit their guilt and many will take it to their graves. Seems is an assumption based on your thinking.

He may be innocent as some of the worst crimes have been pinned on the innocent throughout history, and if he is innocent, I would hope he gets justice against those who persecuted him.

Many American jails have no AC also.

When I was living on Samui a friend of mine used to go visit a guy from Australia who was busted for possessing one kilo of ganja. He was a local small-time pot dealer and apparently a Thai woman who had bought some pot from him and got arrested ratted him out.

He was given a choice of paying a million baht within 48 hours or going to trial, which led to an 18 month sentence. I went a few times with my friend to visit him, he turned out to be a very kind mild-mannered guy who just had some bad luck. He said that there were about 60 guys that slept in a room that was not large enough to accommodate them. He said you slept on a very thin straw mat in the floor, and if you slept on your back with your arms crossed you wouldn't be touching the guy next to you, that's how tight things were. There were no fans and no air conditioning and he said it was unbelievably oppressive and the odors were beyond imagination.

If you had some cash (which seems to be the case in all prisons) you could buy special favors, and you could buy better food and candy and things of that nature.

It was an incredible experience and one I will never forget. One of my personal nightmares is ending up in a prison. I don't think I would last very long.

Oh dear, I'm about to tear up as well. Did you have a cry?

I think you should reach out to them and once they are released you can let them live with you in your Sydney apartment.

I'd reckon Thai jails would also be in the no AC camp too !

My dick head nephew was hanging around with a group of Thai wannabees in Pattaya. They committed a crime but it has since been proven that he wasn't with them when the crime was committed. He got arrested because although he wasn't there he was accused of knowing the names of the perpetrators. So he went to court and got 6 months in jail or a 300,000 baht fine.

Luckily for him his girl friends father pad the fine.

Georgenta I seriously do not think this project is for you!

So finally you are home from mopping stairwells at sunrise crying over YouTube prison documentaries before you've even had your Vegemite breakfast.

Not a good sign.

One sad pensioner in Cebu and suddenly you are planning an international prison relief operation with hand out bags full of underarm deodorant and emotional support supplies.

Slow down sister. Throw on some Village People music and chillax.

You are far too delicate for this sort of work.

Today it is tears over a prison documentary.

Tomorrow you will be outside Cebu Correctional Centre in a high viz handing out condoms, KY, toothpaste, diaries, and good luck speeches to the ladyboy inmates while compiling statistics on staircase sleeping arrangements.

I have seen documentaries on those prisons. Half the inmates are sleeping on staircases because the place is so packed.

But not every tragedy requires immediate Georgenta involvement.

Sometimes it is enough to finish the mop shift, put on a Richard Simmons aerobics rerun from the 80s, squeeze your oozing gut into your hot pink and lime green leotard and start doing some full length splits before the next dirty stairwell calls your name.

In most cases if you commit the crime you do the time but of course in Asian countries there's several ways to by pass the system. Of course the number 1 requirement to do this is always money.

Well Ralf, in Asia, in the blink of an eye, you get turned into a commodity to keep someone else, probably rich and powerful, out of prison.

Look at these poor Burmese kids in Hoh Tao.

GG's response to a Farang collapsed in the street:

"You should of placed him under citizens arrest.

I'm sick of this farang overstayers contributing nothing .

Call the immigration"

GG's response to Farangs in prison:

" ...my heart goes to all those foreign prisoners from serving time in Asia jails." "...he was in tears and watching him has distressed me too and I'm crying as I write this !!!!!

Are you claiming that no woman has ever made a false claim during a divorce, to get $$$, the house and/or custody of the kids?

If so, I have a bridge for sale in London Lake Havasu.

He may be a monster. But that should be decided at trial.

So you’re going to go there and spend all your money feeding criminals, how do you plan getting the money to get back home, rob a bank?

Have put you on a list of reminders not to bring you food during your incarceration.
