Trapped by drugs: French citizens in the hell of Peruvian prisons

Dreaming of easy money, many young French people are drawn into cocaine trafficking between France and South America.

In Peru, drug trafficking can mean eight years in prison.

In Lima, Alain, Mikaël and Vincent are held in Sarita Colonia, an overcrowded prison where money rules everything.

More and more European drug mules are women, sometimes pregnant to avoid suspicion. Lucie, recruited in Metz for 5,000 euros, is now in prison.

How does she endure incarceration?

Thierry Gaytan delivers a hard-hitting documentary on these young European drug mules in prison. - Télé Obs
