Daniel Sancho has been incarcerated in the Thai prison on Koh Samui since he declared himself the confessed author of the murder and dismemberment of Edwin Arrieta on August 7, and given the multiple evidence collected by investigators against him.
During this time, much has been said about the living conditions of the aforementioned prison facility. However, Así es la vida has put on the table a possible new horizon for the Spanish chef. It is about the transfer to another new prison, that of Nakhon Si Thammarat, after finishing the preventive detention and whose conditions are much harsher than the current one.
Daniel Sancho's current routine in the Koh Samui prison is the same as for the rest of the prisoners. The Spaniard gets up with the others at six in the morning. In the case of the cook, he is in the infirmary cell along with four prisoners with whom he sleeps on the floor, he is supervised all day by a doctor, in addition to having daily psychological monitoring, since he is considered a prisoner. risky.
At eight in the morning, Sancho and the rest of the prisoners go out into the courtyard for the first time that day and everyone, without exception, sings the Thai national anthem. And there, in the patio, is when they do the second count of the day. This outing lasts half an hour, and at 8:30 a.m. we proceed to breakfast, the first meal of the three that they have a day.
After twenty days in prison, the physical appearance of Daniel Sancho is far from what could be seen the first days after his arrest. He is now visibly thinner and has a shaved head, a mandatory prison trait for the entire prison population.
However, Koh Samui will not be the final destination of Daniel Sancho during the Thai judicial process. It seems to be, as he progresses, Así es la vida, that the Spaniard will be transferred to another prison. Everything points to the Nakhon Si Thammarat prison, in the south of the country, in a province close to Sura Thani and two hours from where he is currently.
As for the conditions of this prison, where Daniel Sancho will presumably be transferred once his preventive detention ends, they are also very harsh. "There is only one bathroom for everyone," says an inmate in a letter to which the Telecinco magazine has had access.
"We have to take turns to sit or lie down because there is no space," continues this prisoner, who also assures that "they tell me to cut my hair, my nails." In addition, this inmate would have written that “each of us is given three blankets to provide comfort. One under to sleep, the second in the form of a pillow, and the last to cover you.
