- TriviaThe show always appears to end "in the middle of talking", meaning in the middle of a random paragraph, because no one lowers their voice with the final sentence. Not only that, but their final sentence sounds like the middle of a paragraph and offers no closure or ending thought. Millennials in USA being very poorly educated, and even worse learners, this is the result: so-called "professionals" no longer know how to properly formulate a thought, a paragraph, a sentence, nor how to end a TV show.

Featured review
One of the most compelling series on the National Geographic channel!
This television series is about people that have traveled to foreign countries for various reasons, and have ended up in prison. Each episode generally starts off with an individual explaining how, and why they ended up going abroad. It has real people explaining real stories. The series has reenactments as the person is talking about the events. The way this series is put together really makes you feel like you were there. National Geographic does an amazing job of adding a human element to these narrative stories. It touches on subjects like drug smuggling, kidnapping, gun running, and even journalists at the wrong place at the wrong time. It gives insight to different countries, laws, or lack of laws, and paints a picture of both human endurance and suffering. Absolutely engaging.
