One of the most dreaded things in this world has to serve time in jail. This may be due to a wide range of crimes committed by the individual and depending on the severity of the crime; a sentence can extend for a period ranging from several months to a full life in jail. The trend of American citizens being held in Mexican prisons is rising and in connection to this, below is information concerning novels about Americans in Mexican prisons.

One marine soldier wrote a book describing his time in one of the most famous Mexican jails. He claimed that he was wrongly arrested from the possession of a short-gun and has never seen such a hard time in his entire life. He wrote and said that he spent almost four months chained to his bed and during these times a lot of threats were made to his life and his family as well and no proper healthcare was given.

In other publications, the American inmates have described their stay in those prisons as horrific, a situation which they cannot fully describe. They state that food services are very rare especially if one is considered to be from the state in question. The other inmates also gang up and physically beat them up until they can hardly move and no external help can be administered in this case too.

Writings by different writers all prove the facts that the issue of rape is very prevalent especially for the minority in this sector. In worst cases, some are even sexually abused by a group of individuals at the same time. This builds a lot of psychological disturbances for the affected person and getting out of here alive especially for an American civilian becomes just but a dream to them as execution is carried out in most of these cases.

For some, the conditions here are so much for them that they view escape as the only way out of this. Taking into account the high electrified walls and the tight security that mans the area, one would be crazy to think of something such as this. However, there are those few who hatch very high profiled plans and with this they manage to get out of here though they will not live again were thy caught in the action.

Many authors take time to describe the full structure of the prisons in their books. According to personal experiences of some, they claim the rooms to be windowless and made of concrete. In most cases, necessities such as blankets beds or mattresses are not provided. The security guards just escort the inmates to these dorms and tell them to feel comfortable in their new home. This is among the most inhumane treatments ever.

Through research from different experiences from various ex-inmates, testimonies have been made that the high rate of crime in these prisons is due to the prisoners being in a position to own weapons and money which they use to terrorize other inmates and pay off the soldiers in a bid to cover their tracks for the crimes they commit.

To sum up the above, for years and years on end, Americans have experienced nightmares in these jails. Most even do not live to tell their stories. A solution to this could be got by the American government putting more efforts to rescue their suffering residents.
