Locked Up Abroad Istanbul/The Real Midnight Express (FULL EPISODE)

[lamBETTERthanY0U]

ive been to istanbul crazy city

[IlluminatReptilian]

That's quite a story. He is very lucky he was able to escape without getting killed, or even worse sent back to prison for life. I love watching locked up abroad. An awesome program and a valuable lesson to be learned. Never try to smuggle drugs, it just isn't worth it.

[zooeyhall]

This is better than the movie.

[cheb221]

Istambul is not in Morocco.....the people are speaking Moroccan langauge....

[Kamissick]

Amazing how the human brain works, isn't it?

[soapcrazy4eva]

a little dissapointed sum gr8 episodes but can not watch as contains restrictd content

[clintonearlwalker]

What a great upload, thanx!! In 1978 when Midnight Express the movie came out, I was in 11th grade and also a projectionist at a drive in. I ran that movie, that means I basically couldn't take my eyes off the screen for 7 straight nights, so I knew it well. I knew it was based on a true story, but this is the first I've ever seen of "William Hayes" in real life. I'd assumed as he escaped a Turkish prison he would stay in hiding forever to avoid extradition.

[DAMAFURIOZA]

It's not about the prison sentence, you insensitive prick. he was being tortured physically and emotionally like he was a murderer or child molester. That's not what prisons are for.

[dirtybunny987]

Out of all the Locked Up Aborad stories ive heard this is the only guy i dont feel sorry for lol.

Dumbass drug smuggler neeeds to serve his prison sentence

[DieTheDeath]

@dirtybunny987 for smuggling weed? you have obviously never smoked it. ever had alcohol?

[dirtybunny987]

@DieTheDeath Ive been smoking weed and i dont drink much but ive been doing it since high school.

What makes it obvious that i dont smoke? How can anything be obvious through a youtube comment?

[DieTheDeath]

@dirtybunny987 because you said a weed smuggler should be in prison

[dirtybunny987]

@DieTheDeath Thats not what i said. Youre putting words in my mouth

I said that this guy in this video is stupid and that he deserved what he got.

Re read my comment

[DieTheDeath]

@dirtybunny987 you said this weed smuggler should serve time in prison. nice try backtracking your words.

[dirtybunny987]

@DieTheDeath Hahah no i didnt i just read my own comment.

YOU said that. Not me.

Anyway if you still wanna make a fuss about this unimportant comment PM me so we dont waste anymore space on these comment boards

[slumberr329roper]

i could not imagine what this man went through to escape that island, luckily he never actually had to kill anyone, or did he?

[BlackDoom77]

There should make a remake of the movie Midnight Express.

[freyasangria]

i don't know if it's pure stupidity, but i would've left the hash back in the bus

[dirtybunny987]

@freyasangria How would you do that? Its not like you can just take it off

[dakritic]

I prefer this version over the movie.

[JustinCase10261]

i really get the feeling this guy is totally full of shit

[theurbansurvivalist1]

@JustinCase10261 What makes you say that? He seems genuine to me.

[KageShadows]

@JustinCase10261 Please explain?

[abcinla]

What is interesting about this video is at the end he shows great remorse about the pain he put his family through; however, he didn't mentioned again the friend who gave his life for him.

[farmerne]

Don't end up in a Turkish prison!

[1ELTIBURONN]

THIS PEOPLE ARE SU RUDE,,,BUT WHEN USA ARE RUDE WITH THEM THEN THEY START TO CRY,,

[Marijuana420Stoner]

what's the song that starts at 1:08

[fatboydanny1234]

At the 1:50 that Patrick sound like a great guy!!!

[honestmango]

That was a great one. I wonder if he's still wanted in Turkey? I'm sure the Turkish government is not a fan of Midnight Express, lol.

[bealestbluesss]

I read the book, saw the movie but to hear and see him tell it...that's onnne brave man.

[MGUSH93]

clean getaway nothing better

[MGUSH93]

for some weed wtf

[smilealotz1]

@MGUSH93 weed is a gateway drug gateway to prison

[tjlaw127]

@smilealotz1 U are truly obtuse

[lilsweetmeat10]

THEY LIKE TO BEAT ON FOLKS... BUT WHY THE FEET JUST BREAK HIS DAMN NECK AND GET IT OVER WITH.............

[The08Prophet1]

What the fuck is that song in the beginning? the one that comes in at 1:06? Does anyone know? I must know!!!!!!!

[eysofastrnjr]

I know its off the subject but good advice.

[eysofastrnjr]

yea, the turkish are scum.

[5053ddw]

@eysofastrnjr all arabic countries are scum their governments are all corrupt

[topsalespro]

@5053ddw Turks are not Arabs. Turkey is a Muslim country but not Arabic.

[styilmaz1980]

@eysofastrnjr Yea lets just make a racist comment like that and generalize all Turks because of what this man had to go through...Let's look at the laws here in the US for trying to smuggle 2 kilos of marijuana...I believe that is a felony and no other country has psychologically crazed prison systems like the US. In the end he broke the law many times, got caught in this 5th go around showing absolutely no respect for the Turkish laws or authority...deserved everything he went through.

[eysofastrnjr]

good thing he wasnt a woman. The turkish love to sell women. That country and culture is evil and they thrive on the sex trade.

[1979audiman]

this was awesome. That greek soldier prob was more scared then him.

[rajperkillz]

I really like the story but I didn't get the last part, why the greeks would deport him to us? how would they know that he,s american? did he had his passport? if he did then how come he had a passport in jail and going through the water and swimming wouldn't it get wet ? can someone explain plz?

[johnm8h]

@rajperkillz you can wrap your damn passport and papers in plastic idiot! and this was in 1970's these third world countries are not as locked down as american prisons are now even...you must be a dumb kid.......

[Daffybastard0426]

@rajperkillz the greeks and the turks have been enemies for a very long time so they wouldn't have sent him back to turkey most likely they contacted the american embassy in greece to confirm his identity

[fantomseed]

prisoners in the US would never survive this prison

[oO0E]

@fantomseed lol last I checked, this prisoner was from the US dumbass

[ImportRacer2K1]

He is a great storyteller.

[bulerias81]

wow, very intense
