Thailand has no tolerance for drugs. An estimated 2,000 suspected traffickers were killed on the streets during the crackdown. Australian traffickers Bobbie Halliwell, Robert Foley and Lyle Doniger are now locked inside Bangkwang, a maximum‑security men’s prison nicknamed the “Bangkok Hilton,” where conditions are almost unbearable. “I thought you have to die to go to hell, but hell is right here,” Bobbie said.
New arrivals are shackled in leg irons for the first three months, not to stop them escaping, but to prevent them from taking their own lives. Lyle Doniger was originally sentenced to death for 34 grams of he**in; after he pled guilty, it was reduced to 50 years. “It was stupid, but I did it,” he admits. (Source: 60 Minutes Australia)
