I also thought Bingham had visited there, he's been here since they built Angkor.
And I'm certain Willy has. He told me how hassle free it is to visit inmates, and suggested I do it when I get the chance.
not sure about Cambodia, but i have visited friends, people i have known in jails in Nepal, Thailand, Korea & India.
not something u wold look forward to or something u wish u had done..

Thanks for that description. So what Province?jmagic wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:39 am A family member of mine was in Prison for smuggling wood. One day I visited him with my wife and family. The prison was out in the countryside and actually looked pretty nice. The prisoners had a farm/garden that they worked on and a few shops on the outside where visitors could buy snacks and cigarettes for the inmates. The atmosphere lacked the violence and paranoia that characterizes American prisons.
I hear how horrible it is, and I have seen some photos that match, but also when I see the barang prisoner's photos when they are appearing for court, they might look a bit thinner, but do not look sickly either.

Re: Cambodia Prison Experience
Not sure, it seems an innocent person could get banged up pretty easily with mixed up information, extortion, being framed, or any number of FU scenario's which has been claimed a lot. That part scares me because it's really hard to be low profile when you stand out in the crowd as a white.up2u wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:43 am Dear David,

Funny how lawlessness implies falling in line when the pigs come-a-snoinkin. And to get busted by Cambodian Cops, you've really gotta be fuckin stoopid. Or greedy.
Or Stoopid.

Let's be PC and say: "LATIN" American prisons.

If you are successful and edging up on others, what about the motive of your competitors taking you out, is it possible?

Re: Cambodia Prison Experience
I have done some charitable prison work in my life. I also once was the only male in a women's prison tour group, and while in college, we had a weekly visitation group at that same prison which was fascinating. Otherwise, I visited an inmate at the request of his dad. I am sort of interested in prisoner rights and could get behind something like that kind of work I think.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:49 amDoes you speaking the English?

Re: Cambodia Prison Experience
Be aware that to be active in something like prisoner rights and anything that may be seen as against the Government or its "competent authorities" you should be prepared to learn about the mixed up information, extortion, being framed that seems to effect those who do involve themselves in Khmer politics or having opinions as a foreigner.
Be as sympathetic as you like about a cause you believe in but remember that in a way of explaining "sympathy" is that it can be found between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.

Re: Cambodia Prison Experience
I am no activists and would leave my politics at home. I just mean that I do feel for people who are held in cages as animals and that I could get behind any efforts to help them receive fair representation and some proper care and comforts, from a charitable perspective.Arget wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 1:35 pm Be aware that to be active in something like prisoner rights and anything that may be seen as against the Government or its "competent authorities" you should be prepared to learn about the mixed up information, extortion, being framed that seems to affect those who do involve themselves in Khmer politics or having opinions as a foreigner.

I'd assume every one of them would have interesting things to say, and they'd probably like a visit.

I once checked out one of those prison chick dating websites. For most of them their favourite thing is being outdoors.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 2:34 pmAre you kidding me?
