Holly's Hell: Sentenced to 31 years In A Thai Prison - Holly Deane-Johns | I Catch Killers Former heroin addict Holly Deane-Johns was locked up in a Thai prison for 7.5 years over drug charges. She couldn’t see the hard concrete floor of the crowded cell she shared with hundreds of women, she had a 22 centimetre floor space to sleep on, she had a rotting tooth pulled out by an inmate, she was sick from the food, and she also shared 10 filthy toilets with 2000 women.

This guy is a shocking interviewer constantly interrupting and throwing her off her story. I hope he can actually learn alot from this interview attempt.
Thanks for sharing. I pray that the young people you share your story to, that it will help keep them from the temptation of drugs and a lifestyle of crime.
Holly's my sister and I can tell you she's an amazing inspirational beautiful soul that's been a product of her environment and has turned her life around to be a top shelf person full of life and positivity has endured and over come many hurdles.
Best wishes to her. Life hands some people a much harder time than others have. Any one of us could have had a more difficult life. No judgement here. Only good wishes and respect.
The Thai prison description is typical of prisons outside the developed countries. Best to mind your business when traveling abroad. She fortunate she is alive.
The Thai Prison system is designed to function for Thai people who grew up in Thailand, it doesn’t really make many allowances for non-Thais. Other than drugs, you have to do something pretty serious to have to go to prison unless you are very poor, and if you grew up poor in Thailand then your everyday life would feel like punishment for most westerners with squat toilets, sleeping on the floor etc. its important to understand that Thai prisons are not restricted to the Bangkok prisons where drug smugglers go, there are many provincial prisons and open prisons too. In some prisons the prisoners get to go out during the day and learn vocational skills.
Holly, I just have to say, thank you for sharing your story! Your strength, resilience and what you have gone through! No disrespect to your family, however, your path was chosen due to your family circumstances. I know people will say, "she had a choice". However, only to a certain extent! I hope your life now is full of happiness.
Done the crime and now spent the time.....I wish you all the best Holly. Amazing and captivating interview. I hope the youth of Australia listens to you. Enjoy your life ❤
Holly, thank you for sharing your story .. you're an inspiration! Our young people need someone like you in their corner! Keep up the good work. I'm so glad you made it home 🙏
Holly's positivity is admirable and a true inspiration, i wish you well with the rest of your life Holly. You have really put things into perspective for many people including myself of course ❤❤❤

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 I am delighted not only for you Holly but for all those you offer hope to. What an honest account of life's hard lessons.

I Live in Phuket the crime rate is extremely low here and I worked with the police here as well,Drug offenders in Thai society are the lowest form of life on the Planet and they won't accept excuses, This Lady was extremely lucky to be released from a Thai Prison after serving 7.5 years of her sentence here.

Drugs are a pain killer The use of them is a therapy Even if its wrong Can you imagine Being police who beat abuse and lie Who see things that other cops do and remain silent The question is this Who is worse ?
Fantastic to listen to your story Holly. It may seem like lost time but you have come home with so much wisdom. All the very best for the next part of your lifespan journey 🥰🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Holly, you are so Aussie! An everyday person, unfortunately you found yourself in a foreign prison, when you were young and vulnerable with an addiction. There are always reasons why an addiction occurs, usually because of a trauma or multiple traumas, or an undiagnosed condition. Unfortunately many people don’t understand this. You are courageous, practical, intelligent and down to earth. You can do anything that you want to achieve. Backing you.
Holly , i am so happy you are home ! What an amazing story , you are an inspiration for a lot of addicts now , keep doing this wonderful work , sending you a big hug and wish you a wonderful life , ❤ from the Netherlands 😊
Amazing story!! Reminds me of the book and movie Midnight Express. I read the book to my kids hoping they'd never use drugs or try to be a drug mule. My dad died of oesophagus cancer and starved to death...my mum died of aspestos lung cancer and drowned. Two horrific ways to die. ❤
I really appreciate Holly's story and will seek out the audio book, so thanks for sharing. I know she had to go through all she did, sacrificing so many years of her life to heal so many more. ❤
IT ISN’T NEW NEWS THOUGH IS IT, DRUG DEALERS/TRAFFICKERS HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE DAY DOT. WEVE ALL SEEN THE TV SHOWS ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES & WHAT HAPPENS.
She’s lucky she was in Thailand, if she’d been in Malaysia she’d have had the death penalty, even on the tiny Island where I grew up they sentenced 4 Australians to the death penalty for smuggling, remember a local boy of 14 being hung for being what we would refer to as groomed these days to hide some guns in his bedroom for gang members- it was horrible as the put the picture of this child hanging on the front page! Read up on the laws of each country before thinking you can play games and respect those laws when travelling it’s simple common sense!
You completely stopped me in my tracks when you said you could wear THONGS. Being from the UK, that's something completely different here lol. Thank you for this video it just goes to show how standards and penalties differ between AUS and Thailand. The UK seems to be quite similar to the AUS system.
I was so interested in Holly's story after watching part one, had to come find part two..... What an amazing strong Woman, I couldn't handle an American prison let alone a foreign one!!!
I've got no time for druggie's but I do for those who break the habit - very interesting and thought-provoking interview !. Plus, she's the healthiest looking addict I've ever seen!
It is not rational to avoid feeling pain? It is not rational to avoid being sick (vomiting, diarrhea, flu-like symptoms, chills, trembling….)? For a lot of people, it makes sense to stay an addict and to keep taking drugs because they don’t know where to get help. It is very hard to stop on your own. I would not say drug addicts are not rational. It just isn’t true. They try to do the best they can for most of them. How many people smoke and don’t stop? And we don’t really judge them. How many people are addicted to their phone? Food? Drug takers have a reason for taking drugs, it could be self-medication, trying to medicate their anxiety, their trauma. I wish people would stop judging drug addicts because they often have a lot of reasons why they became addicts. Try to understand them instead of judging what you don’t know.
That’s why we don’t break the law here as expats ….its there ways you think it’s unjust that’s only your opinion it works well …..don’t break the law it’s simple
Great interview. I’m so glad and quite surprised AU took her back, considering what they did to the Bali Nine in having Indonesia catch them and hand out death sentences, rather than arresting them as soon as they were back on Australian soil.
Midnight Express was a brilliant, but harrowing movie about an American guy was caught with Hashish after boarding the plane in Istanbul to return to the USA. He served many years in a Turkish Prison. This was in the 1980s I think.
I am 67, an American, and male. I grew up in the USA at the tail end of the 60's-70's and recreational drug use was common to some extent with us risk takers, myself included. Marijuana was common and relatively weak (i.e. THC). Given fentanyl is common now, in my opinion, you have to be suicidal to use any drugs, anywhere at any time. To use or have anything to do with drugs in any developing country is also nearly a death wish.
Powerful storytelling. Holly's journey through the Thai system is a message delivered with meaningful truth..sad and uplifting at the same time..great to see her redemption. All love and hope for the future.
Yeah, cause that’s the way to help people with a drug problem… (I’m sarcastic if you don’t get it) What’s your reasoning behind that statement? Do people with drug problems deserve to suffer? Is that it? Or are you talking about people who murdered? Worse of the worse? Which a lot of people in prison aren’t…. Please explain.
found it hard that she didn’t have any calling to help the Thai women locked up in Thai prisons for much , much less than her offences? Despite the terrible conditions of the prison, those women kept her safe and alive ! I feel it odd that there was no urge for her to return to Thailand and assist her “Thai Family” spending 7.5 years living in that close proximity to people, surely despite the relief of getting back to your own country, hot water and a mattress, wasn’t there any sense of loss for the friendship of the women left behind?
Maybe read my book, and you will learn that I did go back to Thailand to visit my Thai family, and was stopped at immigration and put on the next flight back to Australia immigration immigration
Plenty of Aussie kids in the seventies 🇦🇺 got addicted , including myself , i remember a guy cookie from Cronulla that got caught in Thailand , went there to surf ! We are like a setting sun , we will rise again

My utmost respect to you Holly.

Has she written a book.
Would be great
@@joannenardoni17 I think she has written a book
This man is a great interviewer. He lets his guest speak. He asks open questions. Exceptional.😊
Gary is awesome
Thought he was pretty terrible. Poor questions.
She should be invited to every school in Australia ...So,much to learn ! Specially to those kids who are drawn towards drugs and stuffs.
I totally agree
She became a fine woman. Life moulded her and she turned her life around and is doing good now.
Thanks
The Thai prison description is typical of prisons outside the developed countries. Best to mind your business when traveling abroad. She fortunate she is alive.
The Thai Prison system is designed to function for Thai people who grew up in Thailand, it doesn’t really make many allowances for non-Thais. Other than drugs, you have to do something pretty serious to have to go to prison unless you are very poor, and if you grew up poor in Thailand then your everyday life would feel like punishment for most westerners with squat toilets, sleeping on the floor etc. its important to understand that Thai prisons are not restricted to the Bangkok prisons where drug smugglers go, there are many provincial prisons and open prisons too. In some prisons the prisoners get to go out during the day and learn vocational skills.
@@andrewstones2921thank you for this info❤
Sounds very similar to some prisons in the US that I've heard about

No disrespect to your family, however, your path was chosen due to your family circumstances. I know people will say, "she had a choice". However, only to a certain extent! I hope your life now is full of happiness.
You're a person with a great sense of fairness. You're absolutely correct!
Her mother is evil.
Thankyou
Here in Germany i see homeless. I am ashamed that our prisons are so luxurious in comparison. No innocent should live worse than a guilty person.
How many years were you in prison in Germany?
I left the streets of Romania to go to prison in Germany
Lots of people on the street will commit petty crimes to get a bed it’s a no brainer in lots of countries.
That is really really sad.
Then vote to make sure fewer people are homeless.
But don’t pretend that prison isn’t still traumatic and hard.
Done the crime and now spent the time.....I wish you all the best Holly. Amazing and captivating interview. I hope the youth of Australia listens to you. Enjoy your life ❤

Drugs are a pain killer
The use of them is a therapy
Even if its wrong
Can you imagine
Being police who beat abuse and lie
Who see things that other cops do and remain silent
The question is this
Who is worse ?
So do it in your own country or just pay the consequences
Self medicating is not so bad when you compare it to all the messed up people there are on "prescription drugs". One is as bad as the other.
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yncould you elaborate ? I have family there and I am very worried.
Thanks for sharing, Holly. What a journey, I love your attitude to life despite the adversity. Sorry for the loss of your partner Stephen.
Don’t mess with Thai law
In Singapour, it's death sentence or jail for life
Every sentence its hard . But , you can survive it? Holly survive 35 years and she is up ! Really a life warrior
@@culturabuzios3000it wasn’t 35 yrs - she got out at 7.5 yrs.

I am late but this was an amazing interview.
don't need be a bully to be though ... this is a tough chick.
From one holly to another holly, what an inspiring story. You truly are a great story teller. 😊
Addicts arent rational. So never say "yes" to drugs. It might be your last real "yes".
It is not rational to avoid feeling pain? It is not rational to avoid being sick (vomiting, diarrhea, flu-like symptoms, chills, trembling….)? For a lot of people, it makes sense to stay an addict and to keep taking drugs because they don’t know where to get help. It is very hard to stop on your own. I would not say drug addicts are not rational. It just isn’t true. They try to do the best they can for most of them.
How many people smoke and don’t stop? And we don’t really judge them. How many people are addicted to their phone? Food?
Drug takers have a reason for taking drugs, it could be self-medication, trying to medicate their anxiety, their trauma.
I wish people would stop judging drug addicts because they often have a lot of reasons why they became addicts. Try to understand them instead of judging what you don’t know.
Thank you for sharing your story! May you be a help and blessing to others to leave their life imprisoned by drugs.👌🙏
Yes, i just watched her interview,and she is absolutely telling the TRUTH.
Yes ....... HER truth ..... real truth isnt something you normally get from selfish , self indulgent druggies
I'm so sick of hearing people say " I'm not judging" Oh heck NO ... everything's cool today !!

Yup
That’s what she said.
She said that money did help her.
Always plays a part in the individual prison experience
Should have called your book, "the girl who finally learned her lesson"

What an amazing story. Good luck with everything Holly.

You made it! You deserve a good life.❤
31 years is a crime against humanity. Thailand has no heart only a face. This girl needed help, not 31 years, a lifetime, taken away.

I am 67, an American, and male. I grew up in the USA at the tail end of the 60's-70's and recreational drug use was common to some extent with us risk takers, myself included. Marijuana was common and relatively weak (i.e. THC). Given fentanyl is common now, in my opinion, you have to be suicidal to use any drugs, anywhere at any time. To use or have anything to do with drugs in any developing country is also nearly a death wish.
Sentenced to 31, actually was 7.5...
7.5 in Thailand but then transferred to a prison in Australia
@@acanadianfarmgirl2667. So she did 12?
Watching from South Africa, all the best in your future endeavors ❤
She really does like herself!! Maybe that is how she survived.
Powerful storytelling. Holly's journey through the Thai system is a message delivered with meaningful truth..sad and uplifting at the same time..great to see her redemption. All love and hope for the future.
All prisons should be like this...
Yeah, cause that’s the way to help people with a drug problem… (I’m sarcastic if you don’t get it)
What’s your reasoning behind that statement? Do people with drug problems deserve to suffer? Is that it? Or are you talking about people who murdered? Worse of the worse? Which a lot of people in prison aren’t…. Please explain.
found it hard that she didn’t have any calling to help the Thai women locked up in Thai prisons for much , much less than her offences? Despite the terrible conditions of the prison, those women kept her safe and alive ! I feel it odd that there was no urge for her to return to Thailand and assist her “Thai Family” spending 7.5 years living in that close proximity to people, surely despite the relief of getting back to your own country, hot water and a mattress, wasn’t there any sense of loss for the friendship of the women left behind?
What is she supposed to do?
She probably wouldn't be allowed back to Thailand
Maybe read my book, and you will learn that I did go back to Thailand to visit my Thai family, and was stopped at immigration and put on the next flight back to Australia immigration immigration
@@graerindley6312Thankyou. I did go back, and was stopped at immigration
As Holly said, she did return. If it were me, I doubt I'd want to spend another second in Thailand if I didn't have to.
David McMillan is the person you need to be interviewing mate
Nobody deserves to be treated less than an animal no matter what prison
