The Oscar-winning 1978 film Midnight Express, told the story of 23-year-old college student Billy Hayes, his imprisonment for drug smuggling and his escape from the infamous Turkish Sagmalcilar prison in Istanbul. However, neither the film nor the book authored by Hayes, was completely accurate. As part of the National Geographic series, Haynes is able to tell the full story of his imprisonment and eventual escape.

The lesson of Billy Hayes, Krista and Jennifer, and other foreign jail prisoners in the National Geographic Channel Locked Up Abroad series, is that being a drug mule is a dangerous job.
