Quote
Billy Hayes:
What's Jimmy's story? Why is he in here? Hash?
Erich:
No. He was caught stealing from a mosque. That is also a heavy crime here in Turkey.
Billy Hayes:
What did he steal?
Erich:
Two candle sticks.
Billy Hayes:
That's all?
Erich:
That's all.
Billy Hayes:
Why? Why would he do that?
Erich:
Who knows? He's always been a wild child. He's got more balls then brains. Did you know that he was in here for a year-and-a-half before he told his parents what happened to him?
Billy Hayes:
What about you? What are you in for?
Erich:
Hashish. 90% of the foreigners here are in for hashish or drug related charges from smuggling to posession. My advice is you get yourself a very good lawyer and try to argue down the charge you face. If they make it posession, the sentance is lighter.
Billy Hayes:
What were you convicted of?
Erich:
Smuggling hash with the intent to sell.
Billy Hayes:
What sentence did you receive?
Erich:
12 years. I've been here for just over four years.
Billy Hayes:
How much did you have on you?
Erich:
100 grams.
