Prison talk.

Hi guys,
I don't know if you can get City Talk Radio on 105.9,(Liverpool) or even if anyone would be interested at the ungodly hour of 0200hrs on Tuesday. But, I am doing a 1-hour talk on the treatment of prisoners in French and Spanish prisons appertaining to my books.
Apparently, people have become interested and latched on to the fact I was chained in leg-irons and manacles in public. Also, that I was escorted through the concourse at Orly airport last year by 4 armed security guards and two legionnaires with machine-guns trained on me. Shocked tourists took pictures of me as they gave us a wide berth, probably thinking I was bin Laden in disguise.
The point here is that I have never been convicted in France; I was held merely for extradition to Spain. Another point is the recent French and Spanish furore about Guantanamo Bay and the treatment of foreign prisoners by the US.
I can categorically say, here and now that I started my days with bread and water (every day) and in a 17 day period I was allowed only 3 showers. There's more... lots more, but that's for the radio show.

On what charges were they extraditing you to Spain?

I only ask as my level of sympathy for inmates is inversely proportional to the severity of the crime they are in for.

Cheers K.

Sounds like an interesting read, to be fair.
