US man recaptured after 5 days on the run in Bali jailbreak
Back story:
Christian Beasley, a 32-year-old US citizen, was arrested in Bali in August for carrying five grams of hashish. He was in jail awaiting sentencing when he and another inmate, Paul Anthony Hoffman, cut a hole in the roof with a hacksaw in a bid to escape. Hoffman was caught almost immediately, but Beasley escaped to Lombok where he remained at large for 5 days before being captured by police.
He now claims he escaped because he was being threatened.
American claims he broke out of Bali jail because he was facing extortion threats

https://coconuts.co/bali/news/american- ... n-threats/At a press conference today, the handcuffed American was paraded in front of media with chains around his ankles and wearing an orange prison uniform and balaclava.
The 32-year-old told journalists he escaped because he was being extorted — although he did not say by whom.
“In jail, they threatened me for protection money. That’s why I left,” he said.
But Kerobokan’s chief warden, Tonny Nainggolan, rejected Beasley’s extortion claims as “total nonsense.”
He added: “There is no such thing, he made it up. We protect and guarantee the safety of the inmates and detainees in Kerobokan.”

Meh, no sympathy for idiots who take drugs to Indonesia.
His claim could just be BS
No idea why some people rage over someone painting graffiti or posing nude at a temple, but sympathise with drug dealers who knowingly enter Indonesia, known by everyone to be one of the strictest govts wrt drugs.

You can merely call someone with 5gr of hash in his pockets flying into Indonesia,a dealer. You can call him extremely stupid though...that genius wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2017 2:24 pm Meh, no sympathy for idiots who take drugs to Indonesia.

He was only caught with 5gm, I doubt that was all he had
They seem to be drawn like moths to a flame, then they whine about harsh prison conditions and survivors write a book afterwards telling the world what nasty people anti-drug dealers are

Long read.
Where is Christian Beasley? The US citizen lost in Bali’s prison system
Christian Beasley escaped from one prison, only to be recaptured and incarcerated on the Indonesian island of Bali, where he is haunted by traumas past and present
SCMP Reporter
Published: 7:15am, 18 Apr, 2021
I have evidence, videos and photographs,” says the 34-year-old American, gripping a set of prison bars with white knuckles. “Serious stuff.”
In this remote corner of Bali, Christian Beasley will not elaborate until his “people on the outside check me out”, but, “maybe”, he says, “we can help each other”.
Beasley is one of 573 inmates of Bangli 2 Narcotics Prison, a high-security facility with a maximum capacity of 468, reserved for drug convicts and prison breakers, of which he is both.
“With this evidence,” says Beasley, glancing suspiciously from side to side, “we could bring down the whole prison system.”
He refuses to elaborate, and I can only speculate as to what it might be. A video of a prisoner being tortured? A judge receiving a fat wad of cash? It feels just as likely to be a conspiracy theory cooked up in a mind unravelled by lifelong mental illness, compounded by years of incarceration, which have included a brutal six-month stint in a punishment block that contravenes the United Nations Convention Against Torture. In Indonesia, many lawmakers consider drug offenders worse public enemies than terrorists.
Despite his confinement, Beasley appears clean, albeit thin as a rake, sporting a bob of messy mid-length hair that makes him look a decade younger than he is. I am about to ask him to elaborate on this “evidence” when a guard arrives and says the maximum half-hour visiting time is up, and the prisoner is led away.
My interview with Beasley, in October last year – the first and only he has given since he escaped from Bali’s notorious Kerobokan Prison in December 2017 – came about by chance while combing Bali’s prison system for another, far more notorious, and eminently at-large prison breaker.

Wrong path, long stay.
Making the prison system loose face twice isn't the way to get clemency.
