It has been a couple of decades since the movie adaptation of Billy Hayes's frightening book about spending time in a Turkish jail for drug smuggling was released, but the story is as powerful now as it was then -- a reminder that foreign prisons make the domestic variety look like country clubs.More than 2,200 Canadians are in prison abroad, many of them for drug-related offences. If you are arrested in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws and legal system. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |
