 In 1993 Sandra Gregory was sentenced to 25 years in Bangkok's notorious Lard Yao prison, dubbed the 'Bangkok Hilton', for attempting to smuggle heroin out of Thailand.
She served 4½ years before being repatriated in 1997 to serve the remainder of her sentence in British prisons, and was released in 2000 after a pardon from the King of Thailand.
She tells Sheila about the brutality of life behind bars in Thailand, and how she found British prisons even more traumatic.
