I interview Matthew from Prisoners Abroad, a charity dedicated to supporting British citizens imprisoned overseas. In this insightful conversation, Matthew discusses the most common crimes that lead to British citizens being incarcerated in Thailand. He also paints a vivid picture of the harsh and often inhumane conditions within Thai prisons, highlighting the physical and psychological challenges faced by inmates. Moreover, Matthew delves into the critical work that Prisoners Abroad does to support these individuals, ensuring basic human rights are upheld to offering emotional support and helping with reintegration after release. This interview offers a rare glimpse into the intersection of crime, punishment, and humanitarian aid, revealing the essential role of organisations like Prisoners Abroad in advocating for vulnerable populations. #lockedupabroad #thaiprison #bangedupabroad

These guys are absolutely stars and saved my sanity just in the first week. The first thing I got was their magazine which was full of help and advise. I did some art for a charity event and went down to London to do some filming. For the know it all's that will comment "if you cant do the crim..." The vast majority of people that end up in these situation will be the first and last time in prison and are genuine decent people, not me I'm one of the cunts 55

Many years ago in Phuket, I was tipped off by a good Thai friend that a girl I had known but hadn't engaged with was going to frame me. She was allegedly going to hide some ganja in my garden, inform the Police and take them to the 'stash'. I have never smoked in my life.. So the good friend advised that I made a Police report as per the story I have just related. Got it done and never heard another thing! Keep one step ahead if you can!

Great video, well done to Matthew, the organisation and others helping out too👏👏 Well done to those prisoners who’ve got back home and turned their life’s around, and may the others still incarcerated get the help they need to get out or leave the country. Too many people not thinking it would happen to them…. Please do the right thing…1st by yourself… 2nd by the laws of the country you arrive in for whatever reason you are there. 3rd… Don’t think drinking at bars you are safe, in any country, it can get out of hand, before you know it, you could end up in jail just by arguing with whoever even if you believe you are in the right… Watch out for scammers/opportunists in any country… many are wolves in sheep clothing. Different country different rules! Forewarned is Forearmed!!

These days with the masses of tourists visiting Thailand and social media it wouldn't be too hard for expats to start it up again.

Good job, lad. I'm Irish and have lived in 5 SE Asian countries since '92. It's easy to be silly here and be very unlucky. I've known and met a few unfortunates. You just have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or be set up. I and others who've lived out here for years agree that Thailand is the worst for opportunities to smuggle drugs to anywhere in the world, and get caught at the airport. Fermanagh for Sam this year again. Good work you're doing on RU-vid.
