I Had Malaria 5 Times And Ate Ants To Survive | Minutes With

In this week's episode of Minutes With we sat down with Baz Hulse who was jailed for 10 years in a prison in India for smuggling diazepam tablets. Baz told us about his life inside prison, the cultural shock he went through and the mental strength he needed to push through.

The prison is Goa has a lot of people in similar circumstances to Baz. It is on the cliffside and looks kind of hewn into the rock of the cliff.

The problem is in India is if you are charged for an offence you have to wait in jail until your court case. The problem is that your court case may not come up for years (even if you are innocent). The only way out of this conundrum is baksheesh. If you have lots of money you can pretty much bribe your way out of anything.

[@fun3721]

Incredible hard won story To still the mind Is to find peace in chaos

[@fun3721]

Many people who visit India/goa think drugs flow freely in India. It may be the case. But possession of drugs is a very serious offense in India. If you are caught, you will end up in some of the most inhospitable jails. So, please do not indulge in drugs while in India. Dont buy them or ferry them for your friends, unless, you are fine eating rice 3 meals a day, sleeping on a hard concrete floor, being tormented by mosquitoes and falling sick several times.

i give advice to tourist in himachal, but they be stoopid and then cry about slow judiciary

[@fun3721]

@user-iq8oo6uy9o But possession of weed is illegal.

[@BinodiniMahapatra-pz7vv]

The only kind of substances you can get away with in India is probably alcohol, weed or ganja. You still can't smuggle any of them however.

Respect bro I did time in south Africa's worst prison its scary until it isnt just becomes like everyday life after a while you realise that you are all in the same boat so follow the code and all is fine

It actually sad that people you call a “friend” would do something like this to you. This is why I have trust issues because let’s be honest who can you trust?

Yes, if you have a good judgment. Obviously, some people do not.

I spent 10 years in that prison, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the UK, but they just can't get the spices right

I call bullshit, he knew what was going down.

[@Themis33]

Exactly. He would've said way more about this 'mate' if it were true...

Absolutely. The only reason he is telling this lie is because he want to make money of some book he published.

That so called mate of his, needs bringing to justice. The harm he caused is immense.

A movie should be made after such a story the way "Midnight Express" was (G. Moroder for the music)... He looks like a blessing out of true Hell but thank God He met some people who helped him go through this whole nightmare... Life can be horrendous... Hats off...

[@chandanhattangadi1800]

Yes that movie is still a grim reminder. It was so real in the making n Brad Davis acting was outstanding.. It really puts the viewer on the spot.

[@janetpattison8474]

[@americaksushantkinazarse5747]

I travel a lot, and so many times people ask me to take their stuff to their family or their friends to the country I’m traveling to, I always politely say no. You have to be streets smart guys.

[@666Kudos]

There was this one time I purchased a nice looking jacket for cheap. Later realized that there were some sort of pills tailored inside the Jacket. I was unaware of this for more than a year... It was some sort of a street drug smuggled into the country through mass textile import. I cannot Imagine how lucky I am not accidently travelling to country like Thailand with that Jacket getting caught.

[@kokukonu578]

So, for a year you wore it and didn't dryclean it?

[@sofialovinglife597]

So basically he was a drug smuggler for 10 years then he got caught 😮 it will make a great movie lol

[@bravosierra2447]

With a friend like that, who needs enemies.

[@ninaballerina8136]

In India, it's more likely that people escape punishment. Rather strange that a foreigner would be jailed for no reason.

[@SimonJones265]

If he had common sense he wouldn't have gone back to India after he found out his "friend" tried to smuggle drugs under his name and address.

[@lindsayhulse901]

He obviously had no idea his 'friend' had done such a thing as they were friends for years and he trusted him

[@mdsameer-pf3jd]

If there was a lookout notice on his name, he would have arrested the minute he was landed in india.

I did a huge mistake and didn't know that I had to declare 24 tablets of Valium tablets prescribed to me in Singapore. Fortunately I was "only" in transit there but could've been bad.

@@mitchikomalandro5190 I need those in daily basis and was changing plane in Singapore. I wouldn't have survived 2,5 weeks in Indinesia without my medication. They don't check people that much when in transit and I called there in advance to ask and they said should be ok with doctor's certification which I always carry. But there's always a risk there. They're crazy in Singapore...
