Banged up in Mauritius—Innocence Lost (at age 20) • Autobiography

Imagine being caught at the age of 20 for a 1st ever offence of smuggling narcotics across continents. Charnelle even had a dream premonition the night before, which she didn’t take heed of, as the worst outcome then became a reality. Ask yourself, how would you feel after waiting for 3 years in a foreign jail for a court appearance, and then being sentenced to spend another decade behind bars? Interesting to note, is that South Africa doesn’t have a repatriation agreement with Mauritius, so she wasn’t able to return to her country of origin for the incarceration period. ________________________________________ ✉ [email protected] ✆ +27 76 489 7490 (also WhatsApp) ________________________________________ © Create Content Cape Town
