A Glimpse of the Future?

I am addicted to the National Geographic channel's series called "Banged Up Abroad." In the US it's called "Locked Up Abroad," but they're essentially the same show. Each episode features someone who, through his or her own fault or not, was either held in captivity (some) or jailed (most) in a foreign country. Most episodes deal with stupid people trying to smuggle drugs from one country to another, and the time they spend behind bars once they get caught.

I. Love. This. Show.

As an aspiring consular officer, one who is especially interested in American Citizen Services, this show is even more interesting to me than it might normally be. If you haven't already seen it, I recommend you give it a chance!

Watch all of the episodes here!
