The case of Daniel Sancho has become the news of the summer. The young Spanish chef, son of actor Rodolfo Sancho, confessed last Saturday that he had murdered and dismembered his "friend" Edwin Arrieta. ''I'm guilty, but I was Edwin's hostage. It was a glass cage, but it was a cage. He made me destroy my relationship with my girlfriend, he has forced me to do things that he would never have done,'' he explained to the Thai authorities after they interrogated him and showed him incriminating evidence.
Although the chef has always maintained that it was all an "accident," cameras in a supermarket captured how the cook bought a knife and garbage bags the day before the event. Due to this and other evidence that the police are considering, it is expected that the young man will be tried for premeditated murder.
For several days, the Spaniard has been in the Koh Sumai prison, one of the most famous prisons in Thailand. To delve into this issue and learn a little better about the reality of the country's prisons, the Antena 3 Espejo Público program has been investigating.
Among the different commentators and collaborators present at the discussion table was the Thai model and DJ Two Jupa, who has not been shy about expressing her opinion. In the program they have explained that the conditions of these prisons are very bad, since they eat only once a day, there are many more people than there should be per module and the prisoners do not have a mattress and a pillow to sleep on.
Two Yupa explained to the daily magazine that, despite the fact that his country's prisons have a bad international reputation, they have been "moderating" in recent years, especially those in Bangkok and Koh Sumai, where Sancho remains.
The tertullian admitted that the things that are said are true, but that she agrees that they suffer these conditions because she believes that they deserve it: "I'm sorry, but I am very hard with that. I am punishable, punishable."
At one point, the DJ expressed that she sees it as normal for prisoners not to have "a bed and pillow because otherwise it wouldn't be a prison." Given these words, Lorena García, host of the program, expressed her opinion and cut the model: "But there are human rights, like sleeping in a bed, no matter how wild the prisoner is."
The rest of the collaborators shared García's opinion, but Two Yupa remained firm: "They are very severe, they are like the military system. I'm sorry, but for me it's normal, because I grew up with a strict education."
