think some of the people I met in jail are there [for] the most spurious of reasons. They happened to be in the back of a Tuk-Tuk at a time that somebody else in the Tuk-Tuk happened to have a joint in their pocket and they find themselves doing six months’ of pre-trial detention in Prey Sar accused of trafficking. So anyone’s backpacking son or daughter who’s in Cambodia just to have some fun can find themselves in the situation that I was in. And once you’re in that system, it’s very, very difficult to get out.

What if James Ricketson gives you his word, is it worth something? In the latest article he says that people are in Prey Sar waiting for 6 months being charged with trafficking for having a joint in their pocket in the back of a tuktuk. Does such a person exist or is James Ricketson a delusional geriatric? It sounds like ANYONE who comes to Cambodia can find themselves in the exact same situation James Ricketson was in. It's very terrible. So who is James Ricketson talking about?
