I read the Damage Done a couple of years ago which is also about life in a Bangkok prison but from the male perspective. It made for pretty horrific reading, but at the same time weirdly fascinating. So when I heard about this book I felt it needed reading to see life in a Bangkok prison from a female perspective, a few months later I found a copy in my local charity shop, took it home and there it sat on a shelf for a while!

This starts at the airport being found out by the police and I thought, great straight into the thick of things. It then skips back to explain why she decided to move to Thailand and how she found living there, before moving onto why she made the decision to try and smuggle drugs out of the country. Once in the prison things are pretty grim, although thinking back to the Damage Done, not quite as grim as it was for the men. The more shocking part of the story for me was when she was moved back to the UK and how the system here treated her.

I have been to Thailand twice now and loved it both times, it really is a beautiful country and I would highly recommend a vist. Just don't do anything silly while your there!!
