Description
Drug Muled – Sixteen Years In A Thai Prison – Joanne Joseph & Larissa Focke
It’s 1994. South Africa is on the brink of freedom. On the verge of a big break in modelling, Miss SA finalist 21-year-old Vanessa Goosen is caught up in a life-changing ordeal. Duped into carrying books with 1.7 kilograms of heroin hidden in them, Goosen is arrested and tried on drug trafficking charges.
Deaf to her pleas of innocence, the Thai courts sentence Goosen to death. On appeal, her sentence is commuted to life, to be served in Bangkok’s notorious Lard Yao prison. Facing extremely difficult circumstances, Goosen begins a harrowing 16-year journey behind bars.
Forced to part with her beloved daughter three years later, Goosen’s story traces the joy and hurt of motherhood behind bars, the emotional strain of long-term incarceration and separation, and her return to a hugely changed South Africa in 2010.
Karin’s Choice: An extraordinary true story of grace and restoration, showing how one woman’s unwavering spirit helped her survive sixteen difficult years and emerge with a message of hope for the world.
