Cambodia Prison Experience

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Cambodia Prison Experience

Post by David Stearn »

Do you or maybe a friend of yours have a Cambodia Prison experience? Or maybe you have visited and seen a bit.

Whats it like?

I think that for such a lawless place, and for all the things you can get away with, you have a higher chance of incarceration being there, am I wrong? If I wanted to go to prison, I think Norway would be a better choice. lol.
The Doctor will see you now.

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.

Can you name the prison, cause I'd like to give it a 5 star rating so a few homeless barang can get into this wood smuggling game there and end up with good accommodation.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

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.

OP, you could go visit David John Fletcher and ask him about his experience. Definitely not a friend of mine.

Does you speaking the English? If so, you should know the answer to your question.



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.
