Families Behind Bars explores the journeys of families from all over the world who have experienced the trauma of having a loved one detained in a foreign prison.
In this updated version of her bestselling book, author Kay Danes revisits the prisoners and reveals what has changed for them since 2008. She describes life inside the hellish prisons, the conditions the prisoners endure, and their personal stories.
Kay knows what it’s like to be imprisoned in a foreign jail. Along with her husband, Kerry, she was imprisoned in a prison in Laos in 2000. Daily torture was inflicted on the couple to force them to confess to a crime, but they maintained their innocence and were released and pardoned.
