When they arrest you, you have
72 hours to prove your innocence with one phone call!
Welcome to the hell of Draconian
Napoleanic Law, a system of law so archaic it has been abolished in most countries...
! Unless you can 'arrange' to buy yourself out in that time frame,
you are guilty until proved innocent. Unless you get a private lawyer
you will be languishing in prison for an unknown period of time as the public
defender could care less about you, he is one of two lawyers for 180 prisoners...
and there is only one judge to handle all the cases...Welcome
to 14 tortillas a day and 6 crackers,..no flush toliets, no potable water, no shower
15 guys in a cell for four, you get a piece of
cardboard to sleep on...anything else must be provided by your family.
You better get a private lawyer. Ha Ha Since you're a gringo you don't
know which is the good lawyer, the right price, and you can't
communicate because no Zihuatanejo Penal Lawyer speaks
English! Eventually depending on your pocket you will allowed to make bail BUT YOU CANNOT
LEAVE MEXICO OR FACE EXTRADICTION, WHO WANTS INTERPOL ON THEIR BACK. You have stick around for about two years
welcome to no speedy trial...THERE IS NO TRIAL...
unless you got a video photos or two witness to prove you are innocent
it's your word against the police's...a confrontation called a 'careo' which will be scheduled about 16 months
after your release on bail...forget trying to get a job, MIGRACION picks you up as you walk out the gate and puts you in their
cell, which at least has air conditioning, while they process you for a few weeks..your visa will be confiscated..
you will have to show up and sign in twice a week to make sure you are still in the city, and travel six hours EVERY WEEK
TO ACAPULCO to the FEDERAL COURTHOUSE where they swipe your fingerprints. WELCOME TO HELL.



You're trash...
