“There are a lot of holes in the stories. For example, no description of trials, sentences, how long they were imprisoned, or how they escaped. Some of these stories leave the listener with a lot of unanswered questions”

“Was so excited to listen to this podcast , first one I have listened to is “Backstabbed in Thailand “ I was so disappointed as it didn’t say how long they had to serve in Thailand or anything about the charges Kim Hood had to face in the US. It was like watching a great episode of Law and Order...”Read full review »

“If you need a pick-me-up, listening to most of these stories is just the thing.
Some of these people have got to be the most dim witted bipeds to have ever tread the surface of this green earth.
I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, to be sure, but in my 41 years on this earth I have never...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed the episodes about the people that were more or less innocent when being locked up and hearing of their feelings and how they overcame the ordeals but I had a really hard time listening to the the ones of people committing crimes:
- the repeat drug mule complaining about how traumatic...”Read full review »

“He says he knew that he was doing human sex trafficking and never going to see these girls again AND a thousand bucks for each trip- with no regrets. Horrible human being- sad he was caught for drugs and not for ruining lives. Wonder how life turned out for those girls. He should have died in...”Read full review »

“Escape from Argentina ends in a total cliffhanger. I Googled the story to find out the latest update. This show aired after developments in the story. Would make a much better ending to wrap it up, as far as what happened”

“Interesting stories, but so many of them are the exact same story. I honestly couldn’t tell you the difference between most of the stories. Usually they involve some person who “had no idea what they were getting into” when they decide to become a drug smuggler.”

“I dislike how the intro gives the whole story away (way to long), and wish that more time was spent on when they were actually “locked up abroad” like the title. The editing has a lot to be desired but the topics are super interesting. I keep listening but am rarely satisfied that I got the...”Read full review »

“The podcast version leaves a lot to be desired. Most episodes don’t even tell about their experience in court or jail. If they do it’s nothing more than just a general “it was bad.” Better on TV, but worth a listen if you’re needing a podcast.”

“I absolutely love the content. I agree with the other review that they end abruptly though. The story is 100% about what lead up to the crime or kidnapping, then time while in captivity. Zero information about how they were rescued or whatever.
With all that being said I absolutely DESPISE the...”Read full review »

“I listened to quite a few episodes a while back, and I’ll admit they were good stories.

A lot...”Read full review »

“I’m 3 episodes in and I’m deleting this one from my collection. Are these supposed to be “real peoples” stories? Especially the “Busted in Bali” story...he escaped how many times and he kept stumbling across prison guards and police everywhere he went?
Give this podcast a pass.”

“The São Paulo Brendan Cosso episode is halarious, I just love how this clown gets busted and thinks his daddy can just pay them off and he gets to go free.
I don’t think his sentence should have been too harsh but the good Ol’ American thinking that money will set me free is gold.”
