The Real Midnight Express
S2010 E1:
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 a prison in Istanbul, Turkey. But for legal reasons, neither the film nor the book, authored by Hayes, was completely accurate. Now, Billy tells the full story of being sent to the infamous Turkish Sagmalcilar prison and eventually escaping.
