Locked Up Abroad airs on National Geographic Wednesday 10 pm est. time.
The title is self explanatory; it’s about people getting locked up abroad. These poor saps tried to smuggle drugs and bars of gold in and out of foreign countries. Well we all know how that turns out. They get caught and sent to uninhabitable prisons all over the world. I don’t want to spend anytime in prison let alone one in a foreign country. American prisons are resorts compared to other countries. The foods have roaches in them, no beds, blankets, heat, privacy, communication, rats and everything else unimaginable. The humiliation they suffer for their mistakes hopefully will deter them from ever doing something so foolish. They reconstruct the crime with actors and its pulse racing. It’s so frightening to think these people went through all of that. They all have different reasons as to why they committed the crimes and the bottom line is money. They all admit that it was a bad idea. Some knew it the moment they decided to do it but did not look back. They went ahead and walked into the dark side. Locked Up Abroad also tells the tales of people who have been kidnapped aboard. Their story is as just as horrifying. At the end of the episode you find out if they have been released or are telling you their story from a prison cell. Another great show from Nat Geo. To see how they punish in other countries watch Locked Up Abroad.
