Novels About Americans In Mexican Prisons

By Lelia Hall


Everyone longs to live a smooth life which has no difficulties. However, sometimes bad luck crosses someones path and for one reason or another, he ends up as an inmate in a prison facility. This is never one of the most desirable experiences and most of those who have had to undergo this life always dread going back there. The article below contains details to do with novels about Americans in Mexican prisons.

One marine soldier wrote a book describing his time in one of the most famous Mexican jails. He claimed that he was wrongly arrested from the possession of a short-gun and has never seen such a hard time in his entire life. He wrote and said that he spent almost four months chained to his bed and during these times a lot of threats were made to his life and his family as well and no proper healthcare was given.

Other authors write and say that in the event that one is discovered to be from America, then they become a common target and provisions such as food are denied to them and the other inmates gang up against them and hence they becomes victims of all the inmates which is a very sad situation.

Americans here experience a lot of sexual violations; they are often raped by their fellow inmates and sometimes soldiers and they are very helpless as they cannot defend themselves from the crazy crowds. This affects them at great depths in such a way that recovering from this becomes another big issue. The aftermath of this is the foreigners being killed and their bodies being dumped.

Most of the persons who have not got to have a taste of life behind the prison walls in this state always claim that escaping might be a good option, it is, but the possibility is very small. One can hardly escape the heavily guarded prisons but for the lucky ones who get to have a chance, they live to tell about the time they served. However most of the individuals who try this are caught and shot dead on the spot.

Many authors take time to describe the full structure of the prisons in their books. According to personal experiences of some, they claim the rooms to be windowless and made of concrete. In most cases, necessities such as blankets beds or mattresses are not provided. The security guards just escort the inmates to these dorms and tell them to feel comfortable in their new home. This is among the most inhumane treatments ever.

According to the ex-American inmates, one of the factors which led to the high rate of violence inside these Mexican institutions is the inmates unlimited access to all types of weapons and money. In this way, they are able to do whatever they want and just by tipping the soldiers, they can get away with almost anything.

To sum up the above there has been a high rate of Americans being tortured in various prisons in Mexico. There are many soldiers who have lost their lives due to this. They should be saved by their governments who should take sure that no one of their citizens in contained in a foreign prison.
