William said:I read a book about this australian bloke who got caught for smuggling heroine through Thailand and eventually got caught. He spent about 10 years in the most horrible Thai prisons. A reason so many westerners die in those prisons is because they don't eat the cockroaches and starve due to a lack of protein and fat.
Sounds like he got off rather lightly.
One Australian that got traphic some sort of drugs in indonesia got hung not long ago.
One that got set up is in jail for 25 years over there and she is lucky she didnt get life.
2 more are facing the death penalty and will be shot.
and 7 more have life(i think)
