    I have just finnished eleven months in thailand during this time i was in and out of pattaya remand prison.All i was guilty of was a visa violation or visa overstay.Being held in thailand for that lenth of time cost me my house everything we owned my company and compleat break up of my family.I have tried to tell my story of what happend to me to all media sectors but no one cares to listen .I would also like to inform people on what they could expect from british embassy in regards to help the give ! well the dont give you any except the use of a phone which is no good because of time diff .my friend is due this week to start an 18 month sentance i met him whilst we were on remand he has done nothing wrong but because of lack of cash he can do nothing except try to serve his time and try to avoid catching TB ect the prison is really HELL on earth

    Hi Martin, we hope you are well

    We would be very interested in hearing about what you have to say regarding your time in a Thai Prison (Bombat??) and more importantly about the Embassy

    I am trying to put together information about thier inadequacies so that I can raise questions in parliament

    If you could email me at ggjonesbk@googlemail.com

    Thanks
