Novels About Americans In Mexican Prisons

By Lelia Hall


Being sentenced to serve time in prison is one of the hardest experiences individuals have had to experience in their entire lifetime. Some are given a short period to serve in jail while others even end up spending the rest of their lives in these facilities. There are many Americans who have been made to serve in Mexican prisons and their stories have not been anything close to a fairytale. Below is information concerning novels about Americans in Mexican prisons.

One of the bestselling books of all times about life in prison is written by a marine soldier on his experience in a Mexican jail. He writes that he was arrested due to illegal ownership of a short-gun but according to him, this was just but a mistake. He was very disadvantaged to have to serve up to four months there while being chained like a dog to a bed and being treated unfairly.

Several writers emphasize the fact that at first in the prisons, although the conditions are tough, things gets a lot worse once the individuals in question are discovered to be of a foreign origin. They are hated for no apparent reasons and even individuals here go to the extent of denying them something to eat and in addition to that, they become common targets of the other inmates who often bully them.

Writings by different writers all prove the facts that the issue of rape is very prevalent especially for the minority in this sector. In worst cases, some are even sexually abused by a group of individuals at the same time. This builds a lot of psychological disturbances for the affected person and getting out of here alive especially for an American civilian becomes just but a dream to them as execution is carried out in most of these cases.

There is usually hardly any way out as the experience is just characterized by daily torture and being treated as though they are animals. The lucky few are those who get the chance to escape. These are the few who find ways to run away. However, in the event that one is got in the act, then they are just killed on the spot. This means that very few prisoners make it to tell their stories to the rest of the world.

In the various descriptions in different novels, the descriptions of these prisons are just amazing. Americans who have been unfortunate enough to serve time here say that in most of the cells, there are no windows; inmates are made to sleep on the concrete floor as no sort of bedding is provided and the situation is just pitiful. If one does not adjust with time, he may develop depression and this may be long term.

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.

in conclusion, the American government should work night and day in a bid to ensure that hose held captive in foreign land s are rescued and taken back home before they lose more individuals in the hands of these brutal group of person.
