Locked Up Abroad

I don't watch a lot of TV, but the National Geographic Channel has a show on Wednesday nights called "Locked Up Abroad." It's a documentary/reality TV show that details the stories of American citizens who end up getting put in foreign prisons. The episodes that I've seen typically involve someone who, desperate for money, agrees to help smuggle drugs across international borders. To be honest, this show is becoming somewhat of an obsession for me.

I went through the same thing a few years ago with a show on A&E called "Intervention". Missesmagette thinks that I'm drawn to these shows because I like to be reminded of how relatively simple and easy my life is. I'm not entirely sure she's wrong.
