Send Him to Hell

"Send Him to Hell" is the true story of an innocent British businessman, resident in Thailand, who endured 17 horrendous years of captivity in Thailand's deadly prisons. This controversial book highlights the appalling injustice of John Davies' incarceration and reveals his extraordinary determination to clear his name.On 4 January 1990, Davies was arrested after police found six kilograms of heroin in a suitcase in his car. Unable to explain how it had got there, Davies soon realised that he was the victim of a cruel set-up. No one, however, was interested in his protestations of innocence. After a farcical five-year-long trial, Davies was convicted and sentenced to death, then was left to rot in the stinking morass of the Thai penal system. "Send Him to Hell" describes the inhuman behaviour and corruption of the prison guards and the needless death and brutality John witnessed. Living in constant fear of his life, he conducted a relentless campaign for his own release, but it was to be a torturous and often seemingly futile battle. Following his long-awaited release, this gripping account now reveals the hidden sinister side of Thailand - and it is a story that cannot be ignored.
