  • In this week's episode of Minutes With we sat down with Baz Hulse who was jailed for 10 years in a prison in India for smuggling diazepam tablets. Baz told us about his life inside prison, the cultural shock he went through and the mental strength he needed to push through.
    Thanks to Baz for taking part!

      The prison is Goa has a lot of people in similar circumstances to Baz. It is on the cliffside and looks kind of hewn into the rock of the cliff. We would sail past in the sweltering heat when I was a boy and see their hands waving at us through iron bars. Can't imagine actually being trapped there. Harrowing to see as a boy

Moreover, there is no death sentence in India for drug possession or drug trafficking unlike many countries. This man is lucky to be alive and sharing his story.

    Ok, yes he came across as a likeable chap, but.... So his "friend" did all the work in organising his parcel and he only did the writing on the forms? which must have been his address, as supposedly his friend asked him if the parcels had arrived back in the uk yet. So what exactly would his "friend" have said if the parcels had arrived and he had opened them and found 60'000 diazepam tablets in there? Sorry, but I think he was a little more complicit in this story than he is letting on.

    The panchayat system in India which was existing before the British judicial system was imposed was a perfect set up in which in many disputes justice was delivered and accepted in just one day.
    Many cases like land disputes between brothers, neighbours etc were settled in 1-2 sittings and also marital disputes were also solved quickly,that system was effective in settling many disputes.

    The problem is in India is if you are charged for an offence you have to wait in jail until your court case. The problem is that your court case may not come up for years (even if you are innocent). The only way out of this conundrum is baksheesh. If you have lots of money you can pretty much bribe your way out of anything.

      ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
      PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏
      KAABER GOD ALMIGHTY--🙏😊
      Who is complete God?
      Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
      See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
      Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
      In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
      Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊
      God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊😊

    Many people who visit India/goa think drugs flow freely in India. It may be the case. But possession of drugs is a very serious offense in India. If you are caught, you will end up in some of the most inhospitable jails. So, please do not indulge in drugs while in India. Dont buy them or ferry them for your friends, unless, you are fine eating rice 3 meals a day, sleeping on a hard concrete floor, being tormented by mosquitoes and falling sick several times.

    What happened to him was quite unfortunate. Hope he does the best of what time he has left in his life.

    I heard Western jails/prisons have better facilities like food,health than most indian homes.

    A movie should be made after such a story the way "Midnight Express" was (G. Moroder for the music)... He looks like a blessing out of true Hell but thank God He met some people who helped him go through this whole nightmare... Life can be horrendous... Hats off...

      Yes that movie is still a grim reminder. It was so real in the making n Brad Davis acting was outstanding.. It really puts the viewer on the spot.

    So much for the King's English. I missed part of his story due to his accent.

    I also had cultural shock in Indian prison because of how much love I received from administration and everyone. They gave me excellent vegetarian food, I enjoyed library, daily we played valleyball. And, on top of this, we had bhajans (devotional singing) every evening in prison's hindu temple! Unfortunately, was released after spending only 10 months with them. Even though my verdict was over 2 years of jail. Visa overstayal.

    Never, ever allow anyone (including "friends") to handle your international packages or luggage.
