- Holly's Hell: Sentenced to 31 years In A Thai Prison - Holly Deane-Johns | I Catch Killers
Former heroin addict Holly Deane-Johns was locked up in a Thai prison for 7.5 years over drug charges. She couldn’t see the hard concrete floor of the crowded cell she shared with hundreds of women, she had a 22 centimetre floor space to sleep on, she had a rotting tooth pulled out by an inmate, she was sick from the food, and she also shared 10 filthy toilets with 2000 women. This was Holly’s Hell.

This guy is a shocking interviewer constantly interrupting and throwing her off her story.
I hope he can actually learn alot from this interview attempt.
This was a great interview 👏
Thanks for sharing. I pray that the young people you share your story to, that it will help keep them from the temptation of drugs and a lifestyle of crime.
Yes I believe this too. Apnd don,phones messing going to turn it off for awhilr f1llingq asleep. Ttyt
This man is a great interviewer. He lets his guest speak. He asks open questions. Exceptional.😊
Gary is awesome
Holly's my sister and I can tell you she's an amazing inspirational beautiful soul that's been a product of her environment and has turned her life around to be a top shelf person full of life and positivity has endured and over come many hurdles.
❤ Thank you for saying. I expect you too have become "top shelf". Goooo girls.
Best wishes to her. Life hands some people a much harder time than others have. Any one of us could have had a more difficult life. No judgement here. Only good wishes and respect.
Your Holly is wonderful!
Has she written a book.
Would be great
@@joannenardoni17 I think she has written a book
I like that she took full responsibility and didn't make any whiny excuses
My utmost respect to you Holly.
She should be invited to every school in Australia ...So,much to learn ! Specially to those kids who are drawn towards drugs and stuffs.
I totally agree
Here in Germany i see homeless. I am ashamed that our prisons are so luxurious in comparison. No innocent should live worse than a guilty person.
How many years were you in prison in Germany?
I left the streets of Romania to go to prison in Germany
Lots of people on the street will commit petty crimes to get a bed it’s a no brainer in lots of countries.
That is really really sad.
Then vote to make sure fewer people are homeless.
But don’t pretend that prison isn’t still traumatic and hard.
She became a fine woman. Life moulded her and she turned her life around and is doing good now.
Thanks
As awful as her experience was , it probably saved her life
I totally agree
Really god? Bcoz you know how her life would had been otherwise right?
Really god? Bciz you know how her life was going to be dont you?
@@user-bn2st5kx8hanyone taking heroine is going to die an early death eventually . Now fentanyl is the biggest killer. And you don’t know if your drugs are laced with it or not.
@@user-bn2st5kx8h "probably" was the keyword in that comment.
Addicts arent rational. So never say "yes" to drugs. It might be your last real "yes".
The Thai prison description is typical of prisons outside the developed countries. Best to mind your business when traveling abroad. She fortunate she is alive.
The Thai Prison system is designed to function for Thai people who grew up in Thailand, it doesn’t really make many allowances for non-Thais. Other than drugs, you have to do something pretty serious to have to go to prison unless you are very poor, and if you grew up poor in Thailand then your everyday life would feel like punishment for most westerners with squat toilets, sleeping on the floor etc. its important to understand that Thai prisons are not restricted to the Bangkok prisons where drug smugglers go, there are many provincial prisons and open prisons too. In some prisons the prisoners get to go out during the day and learn vocational skills.
@@andrewstones2921thank you for this info❤
Holly, I just have to say, thank you for sharing your story! Your strength, resilience and what you have gone through! No disrespect to your family, however, your path was chosen due to your family circumstances. I know people will say, "she had a choice". However, only to a certain extent! I hope your life now is full of happiness.
You're a person with a great sense of fairness. You're absolutely correct!
Her mother is evil.
Thankyou
Great podcast and thanks for sharing Holly's story.
Done the crime and now spent the time.....I wish you all the best Holly. Amazing and captivating interview. I hope the youth of Australia listens to you. Enjoy your life ❤
Thankyou
U done the crime n u do the time.
Thanks Ed

What a woman! Going through all of that and coming out the other side like she has , much love from Ireland 🇮🇪
She put herself there……But very glad she’s sorted her life out
Watching this poor lady talk about this experience sure does make me appreciate what i have! 🎉
Poor lady 😂😂😂 nope
She is not a poor woman......Your perception is wrong
@@patosan8120
Exactly… 😒
@@missyflutter5562
NOT! 🤨
Holly's positivity is admirable and a true inspiration, i wish you well with the rest of your life Holly. You have really put things into perspective for many people including myself of course ❤❤❤
Thanks
Great interview Garry , good questions and her story was so interesting I couldn’t put my phone down during the whole podcast.
Hollys story is the human spirit finding itself and shining on everyone she meets.
Thanks for sharing
Thankyou
Gary is a wonderful interviewer, so many seem 'out to get you' , he is so open and honest with his questions. Love Holly, her message is POWERFUL. her spirit is STRONG. Healthy safe rest of your life.
Thanks for sharing, Holly. What a journey, I love your attitude to life despite the adversity. Sorry for the loss of your partner Stephen.
Fantastic to listen to your story Holly. It may seem like lost time but you have come home with so much wisdom. All the very best for the next part of your lifespan journey 🥰🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU DOING SOMETHING NEW GARY.
FIRST EPISODE I’VE SEEN OF THIS & I LIKE IT A LOT. 🙂👍🏼 🇬🇧
Don’t mess with Thai law
In Singapour, it's death sentence or jail for life
Every sentence its hard . But , you can survive it? Holly survive 35 years and she is up ! Really a life warrior
@@culturabuzios3000it wasn’t 35 yrs - she got out at 7.5 yrs.
Unless you Holiday there for s3x trafficking and pdf files.
Based on the TV selection it would suggest that the real criminals are the so-called Royals in Thailand
This wou make an incredible movie and teaching tool.
Holly , i am so happy you are home ! What an amazing story , you are an inspiration for a lot of addicts now , keep doing this wonderful work , sending you a big hug and wish you a wonderful life , ❤ from the Netherlands 😊
Amazing story!! Reminds me of the book and movie Midnight Express. I read the book to my kids hoping they'd never use drugs or try to be a drug mule. My dad died of oesophagus cancer and starved to death...my mum died of aspestos lung cancer and drowned. Two horrific ways to die. ❤
Yes, I’m very sorry about the way your parents died, but what does that have to do with drugs?
Midnight Express. Brilliant although harrowing Movie about being in a Turkish Prison.
I Live in Phuket the crime rate is extremely low here and I worked with the police here as well,Drug offenders in Thai society are the lowest form of life on the Planet and they won't accept excuses, This Lady was extremely lucky to be released from a Thai Prison after serving 7.5 years of her sentence here.
“The lowest form of life on the planet.”??? Because of a drug offence? Can you explain.
Louis, You are a bit judgmental aren't you?
@@MrTrda Thais are very conservative and very Anti-drugs,80 percent of crime in the West is now Drug related,none of that nonsense here in Thailand my man street crime here doesn't exist.
@@MrTrda in Singapore She would have been hanged straight after conviction,Dont do drugs in Asia!
@@janetpartyka5968 Confused much? Louis wrote according to Thai society. If you have a problem with Thai society's views on drug usage including dealing then your problem is with them not Louis.
I really appreciate Holly's story and will seek out the audio book, so thanks for sharing. I know she had to go through all she did, sacrificing so many years of her life to heal so many more. ❤
Thanks
Great interview. Thank you for sharing your story Holly ❤
Now that's a prison.
Holly, you are so Aussie! An everyday person, unfortunately you found yourself in a foreign prison, when you were young and vulnerable
with an addiction. There are always reasons why an addiction occurs, usually because of a trauma or multiple traumas, or an undiagnosed condition. Unfortunately many people don’t understand this. You are courageous, practical, intelligent and down to earth. You can do anything that you want to achieve. Backing you.
Great interview Holly ! Thank you for sharing your story
"Far Out" understatement of the year! 😂
Such a wonderful story. God bless her.
Thank you for sharing your story! May you be a help and blessing to others to leave their life imprisoned by drugs.👌🙏
Thank you. For sharing.💜
Thank you for sharing.
Look at you now, a well spoken fine young lady with a fine heart. Well done, mate.
I am just a simple stranger but if you read this Holly - I am proud of you 💛
Wishing you every good wish in the World from now on Holly and thank you for telling your story.
Fascinating, this podcast would be good to show people what can happen in jails as a deterrent to not mess with drugs! Subscribed ☮️🇦🇺
IT ISN’T NEW NEWS THOUGH IS IT, DRUG DEALERS/TRAFFICKERS HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE DAY DOT.
WEVE ALL SEEN THE TV SHOWS ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES & WHAT HAPPENS.
Watch the miniseries ‘Bangkok Hilton’ with Nicole Kidman, very well made and convincing, I recall watching it on Aussie tv back in ‘89.
She’s lucky she was in Thailand, if she’d been in Malaysia she’d have had the death penalty, even on the tiny Island where I grew up they sentenced 4 Australians to the death penalty for smuggling, remember a local boy of 14 being hung for being what we would refer to as groomed these days to hide some guns in his bedroom for gang members- it was horrible as the put the picture of this child hanging on the front page! Read up on the laws of each country before thinking you can play games and respect those laws when travelling it’s simple common sense!
Thanks for sharing won't need to read the book now. All the best.
From one holly to another holly, what an inspiring story. You truly are a great story teller. 😊
One word to describe Holly- Perseverance
Thanks
Inspiring interview. Thanks so much
Thankyou for sharing your story Holly.@I catch killers podcast could i have Holly's website please Gary i would love to contact her
I am late but this was an amazing interview.
Makes me glad that I didn't do or take drugs. What a crazy path it can lead you on. Happy for her she got out of there and now free and off of drugs.
Thanks
❤@@hollywallace.3313
I believe here. Great interview Gary.
What an amazing story 👍
Best of luck to holy ❤
Raw and truthful chat well done Holly to go through this and come out the other side with your mind in tact 💯 I hope your doing well
Thankyou
She may have committed the crime, but no one should have to live like that! Poor lady, have so much respect and admiration for how she coped! 🎉❤
Thanks
Why?
Exactly. It's inhuman
@@clairec1683 inhumane and inhuman
Well forewarned going into these countries, shame our prison systems aren't like it
Wonderful story. Hope she will be okay! All the 👌🏻 😊
Great interview. I’m so glad and quite surprised AU took her back, considering what they did to the Bali Nine in having Indonesia catch them and hand out death sentences, rather than arresting them as soon as they were back on Australian soil.
Greetings from the UK Holly 🇬🇧✌🏼😄 I really enjoyed listening to your story and I wish you all the best for the future
Thankyou
Wow, what an amazing story. God bless you Holly - thank you for sharing your life.❤
Great interview. Strong woman. Best wishes to her ❤️
Thankyou
Well done on how you have turned your life around. Onwards and upwards. Best of luck to you
Thankyou
Thankyou.
You completely stopped me in my tracks when you said you could wear THONGS. Being from the UK, that's something completely different here lol. Thank you for this video it just goes to show how standards and penalties differ between AUS and Thailand. The UK seems to be quite similar to the AUS system.
Only half way through & this is class 👍🏴
Drugs are a pain killer
The use of them is a therapy
Even if its wrong
Can you imagine
Being police who beat abuse and lie
Who see things that other cops do and remain silent
The question is this
Who is worse ?
So do it in your own country or just pay the consequences
Self medicating is not so bad when you compare it to all the messed up people there are on "prescription drugs". One is as bad as the other.
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yncould you elaborate ? I have family there and I am very worried.
She's ok-how many of you keyboard warriors are perfect?
Put yourself on a public platform people will air their opinion.
Who’s judging?
Me!
@@noriwilliams4637and other people will air theirs
Very good podcast. Very stong and brave lady. Beautiful skin
Now give back to society hope and goodness.Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Just been down Bali 9 rabbit hole. Now I'm watching this. Trying to get my head around how people in their right minds take this kind of risk.
Have you watched the miniseries ‘Bangkok Hilton’ with Nicole Kidman? Very impressive.
The Locked Up Abroad shows are pretty interesting and informative about why people take these type of risks
I really wonder if they are in their right minds.
She did her time Thai justice. It is great she turned her life around.
Thanks
I'm so sick of hearing people say " I'm not judging" Oh heck NO ... everything's cool today !!
DDone26 yrs in syd max jails.i kinda understand where your head was.its survival.
don't need be a bully to be though ... this is a tough chick.
Watching from South Africa, all the best in your future endeavors ❤
You made it! You deserve a good life.❤
I was so interested in Holly's story after watching part one, had to come find part two..... What an amazing strong Woman, I couldn't handle an American prison let alone a foreign one!!!
Yes, i just watched her interview,and she is absolutely telling the TRUTH.
Yes ....... HER truth ..... real truth isnt something you normally get from selfish , self indulgent druggies
Drugs are the curse of this world...
Thank You .... for gibing us your Story of Life and the Living of It;;; God Bless You.... Life deals what it deals,,,, I am glad you have survived all.... War is War and it comes in All forms, thank you for sharing yours
I've got no time for druggie's but I do for those who break the habit - very interesting and thought-provoking interview !. Plus, she's the healthiest looking addict I've ever seen!
You obviously haven’t seen many, fortunately.
Top ignorant comment
Her skin is so shiny and healthy
No compassion
@@hazelmaymcclellandhave you tested for sociopathic tendencies?
I’m so happy for Holly. Wonderfully work in turning her life around. Very inspirational Best wishes. 💕
Thanks
You are welcome 🤗
I need her skincare routine lol Love listening to your guys have a conversation ❤
Good genes
I guess for all those years she didn't eat much processed food or sugar which cause inflammation, aging and sagging...
Thankyou
@@hollywallace.3313 that you Holly? THE Holly? No way 😀
Did you do 17 years, or 31? Thank Heavens you survived it all. Thx for sharing.
I want to thank you for your story, I'm ine Port Huron Michigan USA but thanks much
What an amazing story. Good luck with everything Holly.
Thanks
Must have been horrible being there and getting clean at the same time.What about toothache or something like that?
There is a story in my book about a tooth ache I had.😢
@@hollywallace.3313 I'll have to read your book now.
Reminds me of the Australian miniseries ‘Bangkok Hilton’ with Nicole Kidman .
Midnight Express was a brilliant, but harrowing movie about an American guy was caught with Hashish after boarding the plane in Istanbul to return to the USA. He served many years in a Turkish Prison. This was in the 1980s I think.
Really interesting. Thanks from uk plc
bless you.for sharing
Sentenced to 31, actually was 7.5...
7.5 in Thailand but then transferred to a prison in Australia
@@acanadianfarmgirl2667. So she did 12?
Hi Holly, thanks for sharing your testimony of the Thai prison a lot of Australian people would probably be very shocked how they live in these prisons. I go into all the presents in Fiji and I must say they living in luxury compare to you guys in Thailand?
I agree
WoW she's been through it! Where's the next part... I need it now, LoL??
found it hard that she didn’t have any calling to help the Thai women locked up in Thai prisons for much , much less than her offences? Despite the terrible conditions of the prison, those women kept her safe and alive ! I feel it odd that there was no urge for her to return to Thailand and assist her “Thai Family” spending 7.5 years living in that close proximity to people, surely despite the relief of getting back to your own country, hot water and a mattress, wasn’t there any sense of loss for the friendship of the women left behind?
What is she supposed to do?
She probably wouldn't be allowed back to Thailand
Maybe read my book, and you will learn that I did go back to Thailand to visit my Thai family, and was stopped at immigration and put on the next flight back to Australia immigration immigration
@@graerindley6312Thankyou. I did go back, and was stopped at immigration
As Holly said, she did return. If it were me, I doubt I'd want to spend another second in Thailand if I didn't have to.
She really does like herself!! Maybe that is how she survived.
This woman is brilliant -what a power of example-way to go-she has a story to share that can/will help others if people are paying attention. What a gem. This was me yet not in prison yet the prison of my own mind. I bet she thinks she did all this, no she was being done-like everyone. If this isn’t a testament of/to God's hand and Grace. She says it towards the end. Thank you for bringing her content here -transforming 🙏
So often a YT video reports that a previous video of the same character exists and is background yet they do not provide a link to it in the intro.
Why?
Is this complicated?
I think money played a big role in her privileges.🤔
Yup
That’s what she said.
She said that money did help her.
All prisons should be like this...
Should have called your book, "the girl who finally learned her lesson"
It's Not a lesson. It's a strength you have to find eventually to just say no ! I've had enough .no matter how you got there .
Gosh Holly you're friggan amazing! All the best to you ❤❤
So inspiring, did Holly keep in contact with her friends from the Thai prison?
PITY THE POOR SOULS STILL TRAPPED IN THERE UNJUST SADISTICALLY CRUEL SYSTEM...😢😢😢
YES, absolutely!!!
That’s why we don’t break the law here as expats ….its there ways you think it’s unjust that’s only your opinion it works well …..don’t break the law it’s simple
Don’t do the crime and you won’t do the time.
What did she expect ? A red carpet to be laid out for her arrival
great listen gonna buy da book as i have interest in Thailand ❤
