This series tells the true stories that would be any traveller’s worst nightmare – when a holiday in paradise becomes a journey into hell that ends up in prison abroad.
Through graphic dramatic reconstruction, each film tells the story of someone who’s been arrested and thrown into a foreign prison. It could be for smuggling drugs, falling foul of local corrupt policemen or for being duped into carrying illegal goods through customs.
In all cases, the films follow the sinking sense of horror from the build up to the moment of arrest, their journey through an incomprehensible legal process, the coming to terms with the details of life in a hellhole jail, and the devastating fall out with their family and friends.
Lucy Baker and Scott Campbell were living their dream. Working little and playing hard in Ibiza for the summer season, neither wanted the party to end so when the party moved on, so did they… but it wasn’t long before they were heading for broke.
Out of luck and out of money, the offer of the holiday of a lifetime and a healthy reward at the end seemed just too good to be true… All they had to do was bring back a little cannabis into Amsterdam, where was the risk in that?
People from permissive societies are surprised when they get in trouble in countries where the law is intolerant of errant behavior.
Clearly there was a customs official on the take in CR but they were probably sold out and the mexicans picked them up.
Maybe it’s best not to even think about doing these types of things if there is even a 1 percent chance of being screwed for years.
I tried getting the names and there where abouts I ended up here, the storyline has been so sorrowful unlike other documentaries I didn’t know there still in the when the documentary was on until they began to say of 5 years remaining .
irritating as hell how she says “man” at the end of every sentence
just another couple assholes
If you get caught you pay the piper.The girl seems a nice girl too.It’s quite strong at the end of the documentary when the camera zooms out and it becomes clear they are filmed in jail.I hope they get out soon and start afresh….Billy Hayes eat you heart out.
what’s up with the description above?:
“… All they had to do was bring back a little cannabis into Amsterdam, where was the risk in that?”
Whats wrong with that? Is anyone really that dumb?
It is very clear that no on needs to bring any cannabis to Amsterdam!!!
WTF!
That is like bringing sand to the beach!
Exactly what I thought lol
Are threy still in Mexico jail?
I’m a little lost – Why would somebody need to illegally smuggle marijuana into Amsterdam? Isn’t it legal there? Is it a matter of cost?
It was actually coke but they were told it was marijuana.

Who are they trying to kid? Who brings cannabis from Central America? There is no mention of their own obvious drug taking. I hope they get transferred to Scotland as soon as possible. That will teach them!
