Money, Brazil, Brazil, fun, take stuff to Europe. Let's do it. I'm now packed up with a ton of cocaine on. This is

ghetto. The slums in Brazil are vicious. I was now in the worst place in South America.

This is Jim Clemente, your host on Locked Up Abroad, a new series from Wundery.

There was no running, there was just no escape.

I knew we were dead.

Each episode tells the story of people in harrowing situations, imprisoned in foreign countries.

You'll hear first-hand accounts from these unfortunate souls telling of the youthful hubris and misguided choices that put them in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

I knew people could get arrested.

I knew that sentences were severe in places but it wasn't going to

happen to me. Or a dream vacation that turned into a nightmare. I was asleep.

The next thing I knew, there was a gun pointing in my face.

What the hell is going on here?

I was absolutely terrified.

Two can kidnap.

Or a search for adventure with disastrous consequence.

People just like you and me forced to meet the mental and physical challenges needed to survive extreme

ordeal.

It's a war zone.

You know, I'm totally alone in enemy territory.

What are they going to do to me?

Are they going to torture me now?
