Jailed abroad

Came across this series on National Geographic channel. A series of true stories of people who were jailed in a foreign country - most of these individuals are not professional criminals, but idiots like you and me who embraced spontaneity and then lived to regret the foolishness. Its narrated in first person, brilliantly reconstructed by some high quality acting and production, making it one hell of a watch.

Heres the link to the official web page of the series.

And heres a preview to one of the episodes that I watched : a young English fella in Kuwait gets arrested for peddling hashish and just when he reconciles to spend 5 years in the Kuwait Central Jail in the middle of some desert, help comes calling from an unlikely source.
