I had a friend who got caught dealing grass out in Antigua, both him and his mate were teenagers at the time with long, blonde hair that was typical of the sort of skater crowd they were in. I can't begin to imagine how they were viewed or treated in prison, I saw the guy a few years later and apart from a slight speech impediment which caused him to say: "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Nah!" when trying just to say "yes", and the fact that he would no longer meet my gaze. He appeared relatively o.k!
I didn't have the heart to ask him any tough questions, I just hope he managed to look after himself the best he could in there...
