Steve's Life in Bagkwang Prison
Source: Letters from the Inside
Most foreign Prisoners in Bangkwang Prison are here for trying to smuggle drugs through the airport.
Most of these people are not professional smugglers!
So why did they do it?
Prisons around the world are filled with stupid tourists who thought they could pay of their holiday or put down a deposit on an apartment or house back home by doing just one run.
You’re an idiot if you traffic drugs, anyway, unless you’re prepared to face up to the consequences:
“Most People aren’t”
if you’re going to take the risk, then you might as well organise the whole thing yourself. That way, no one can set you up and you get to take all the profits yourself. Statistically most mules (smugglers) do get through. BUT what if you are the unlucky one who gets – BUSTED?
There are no credit points for having been law- abiding citizen your whole life up until that moment.
Especially in Thailand, you get thrown in with the rest of them.
So if you’re ever thinking of doing a drug run!, before making your final decision you should visit the local prison where you’ll be living if you get caught!
Lots of Mules here at Bangkwang visit them!
(BTW, Steve has already been transferred to UK...)
