In a rare first-hand glimpse, Holly Dean-Johns shares her experience of being an Aussie woman locked up in Thailand's most notorious prison, known as the Bangkok Hilton.

In this BIG question episode Jess and Holly go deep into her journey from addiction to arrest, and we hear Holly describe daily life in a foreign prison, including overcrowded cells, limited personal space, and lack of basic necessities. Holly also shares the heartbreaking moments she experienced in prison, and why friendship and support systems were crucial to her survival in this brutal environment.
