Charity worker feared being raped in 40-day Thai prison nightmare
21 April 2018
A charity worker who spent more than a month in the hell-hole conditions of a Thai prison has told how he feared being raped.
For 40 days and 40 nights, Sean Felton fought off perverts and killers in the soiled, sewer-stench confines of the rat maze that is Sakhon Nakon Prison.
He survived in a cramped, squalid cell – home to 50 inmates – on three bowls of rice each day. He slept on the floor. He bathed with fellow lags in a trough of filthy, dirty water that, stagnant and over-used, stank of decay.
Sean – one of only two Farangs (westerners) in the teeming hell-hole – witnessed beatings and worse.
The 47-year-old founder of Abducted Angels, an organisation dedicated to locating children spirited abroad during acid family fractures, is back home now in the former pit village of Norton Canes, near Cannock.
But the nightmare of Sakon Nakhon – a nick where life is cheaper than behind bars contraband such as disposable lighters – still hangs from him.
His crime? He helped distraught Scottish father Jodie Smith bring his ten-year-old son Joleon back home. The pair were arrested after allegations they had entered the estranged wife’s home without permission.
