Send Them to Hell: The Brutal Horrors of Bangkok's Nightmare Jails

"Send Them to Hell is a highly emotional 301 pages of gripping revelation. It describes in shocking and brutal detail how very easy it is in Thailand to become entrapped in endless hellish torment; to be murdered by vicious sadistic officials; to be blackmailed and left destitute; to be gang raped at the whim of the corrupt and decadent ‘Servants of The People’; to have the most basic of legal and human rights completely ignored; to be used and abused as slaves to produce products for export; to be incarcerated and chained like an animal for years on end even though yet to be convicted of a crime; how corruption and influence replaces justice and how scapegoats are routinely imprisoned or even executed to protect the guilty.”

This is an extract from the description provided for this book by the publishers and the Author, and having actually experienced a lot of this barbarism personally whilst I was myself imprisoned in Thailand for more than four years – and having now read this story – I can confirm that the above is an accurate, if not a little understated, portrayal of how it is. The Author has done an excellent job of capturing the emotions and the intricate details that represent the realities on the inside. It even has photos of the actual barcode tags that prove that Woolworths in Canada was purchasing plastic flowers made by prison slaves. I mention this because I was one of those slaves and made thousands upon thousands of them and got nothing but a lot of aggravation if I didn't fill my quota on time.

Sebastian Williams is certainly an author with a great future in front of him if he keeps putting out work like this one, which as I understand it is his first published. His style is quite unique and he seems to have a passion for a little sarcasm in the right place, which gave this book a rather nice touch I thought. The main character, Sly, is evidently a criminal of some long standing. His reference to quite a few other terms in prison makes me skeptical of his claims of innocence in this case, but just the same the background and the story has been portrayed in such a riveting manner that the book was hard to put down. Lots of little surprises and cliff hangers that make it far more appealing than all of the others I have read about the Thai criminal justice system and Thailand in general.

Sebastian has quite obviously put in a tremendous amount of research and investigation before writing this and he has linked it all together with such a lot of fine detail that one feels to be right in there looking out. I give him a top rating for this effort and hope to see more from him soon.
