Prigionieri di viaggio

I just want to say that I love love love this show. One reviewer writes how the show has shifted from representing "unfair tourists" to "glorifying drug-runners". I believe there is still a good mix of episodes in which tourists are unfairly locked up and also in which undoubtedly, poor decision makers are also punished (though NOT fairly). Personally, I like these episodes that divulge the insides of the "poor decision-makers''' experiences. That's the lure of the program. If someone is not looking for this type of entertainment, fair enough. But I find it incredibly fascinating and have also been introduced to new books (from Chris Chance) and new research opportunities from these individuals. To each his own. I love the show and find it compelling, exciting and well, ....addicting!

I am very impressed with the stories of those who have been "Locked Up Abroad". The interviews and recreations are excellent and give one a view of what can happen if you make a bad decision and think you can get away with it. Billy Hayes was the most prominent many years ago but far too many either never saw "Midnight Express" or simply never thought it could happen to them

Early seasons were edge of the seat, dramatic climax every time. Seems now that it's simply words at the bottom "so and so was freed. Now back home." Ok... It's not a difficult part to make exciting. Add some dramatic music and have the prisoner say they got a visit...didn't know what was gonna happen...

Still a solid show though.

My favorite show on National Geographic Channel! It's nice to hear the stories about many interesting lives, you can always learn a new life lesson. Altough I like the show very much, I would definitely want to hear the pure truth, not the variation of the story with some changes.

This is a very good program where people seem to actually learn from their mistakes and in a very extreme way. I like seeing how other prison systems work compaired to ours and this show does a good job portraying that. I also like to see how much time each person gets for what the smuggle, and in the end, they all seem to learn and grow from their experiences. Interestingly enough, if you smuggle from Mexico to America, you get ZERO time, no matter what you smuggle or how much. You are just sent back to repeat. Watch BorderForce USA: the wall, to see that in action. So to see how much time all these people get compaired to all those people getting no time for millions of dollars worth of Meth, Cocaine, and Fentanyl being smuggled over. It is kinda sad. At least these people learn a lesson after.
