UPDATE 3:

After her 3 day stint in a women’s facility in Abu Dhabi, Jasmine returned to the "free" world 3,000 Dirhams poorer (that's about 820 bones) and absolutely not wiser. If anything it made the country seem more stupid to say the least.

So how was prison in the Middies?

Who: Mainly Russians and Filipinos (Filipinas?)

What: She was transported in shackles and a green jumpsuit. Other women had different colors of sashes on their green suits ranging from the less severe yellow, which meant 2-3 month sentence, to the murderous red. There was only 1 red at the prison. For breakfast she said they served “caca,” for lunch they served bread, and for dinner they served “vomit” but really this all could be a number of Middle Eastern dishes and plus she’s a picky bint. All she ate was lunch, and once a fly landed on it, she couldn’t finish it. After 2 days without water, she asked for a cup and the cafeteria lady handed her a dirty cup. She screamed and threatened the UN on her. The lady washed it and handed it back to her in a huff.

When: Everyone there had been there for at least 2 months. They all said that “British/American passports, very nice” and wished they had one of their own because it got you out much much quicker. One Russian bird was in for the same thing Jasmine was, had already been there for 2 months, and hadn’t even been sentenced.

Where: An air conditioned prison in Abu Dhabi

Why: The Russians for forging visa documentation (though this probably was a euphemism for prostitution because honestly who forges documents to get IN to the Middle East, not to mention most Russians are tutes anyway… is that racist?) and the Filipinas for kissing their boyfriends in public slash for being Filipino.

How: The British embassy came and talked to the prison, and she was out the next day. It is good to be British. It's still better to be American!
