Daniel Sancho, the son of Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho, risks being transferred to one of the world’s worst prisons if convicted of the murder of Edwin Arrieta. Known for “devouring prisoners,” Bang Kwang Prison, ironically known as the “Bangkok Hilton,” in Thailand offers appalling conditions for those serving time in the facility.
According to the Spanish magazine A week, anyone who has been or served time at the Bangkok Hilton assumes the prison’s “bad reputation” is true. Prisoners are reportedly forced to sleep huddled together on the floor of their cell and eat only one bowl of rice a day. The water they have access to is of poor quality and the prisoners do not shower daily. There are those who guarantee that prisoners will be lucky if they are allowed to bathe a month.
In addition to the lack of hygiene and the suffocating heat, the prisoners spend several months in handcuffs on their feet. “They put chains on me, like the ones you see on TV, they weighed four kilograms, and the police crushed them to the ankle with hammer blows,” said Colin Martin, a Briton who spent more than a decade in this. jail.
Colin Martin also reveals in Welcome to Hell that the cells do not have a toilet, but a hole in the floor where the inmates go about their business.
According to the newspaper El Confidential, this prison facility is home to all death row inmates in Thailand. Poor prison conditions encourage contagious diseases, and then infected prisoners are not separated from everyone else. According to the newspaper El Periodicothere are even reports of prisoners bribing guards to avoid being the next victims of lethal injection.
Daniel Sancho is now in pre-trial detention in Koh Samui prison, where he will stay for the next four months. Rodolfo’s son Sancho is accused of killing and dismembering Edwin Arrieta, a Colombian surgeon, on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand. The remains of the 44-year-old victim were found in a landfill on the island.
Daniel Sancho, 29, is the son of Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho, who rose to prominence in Portugal through his participation in the RTP1 TV series Underwater Crimes, and former actress Silvia Bronchalo.
