There are Americans in the prisons of many foreign nations - they broke the laws there and they’re doing time. They don’t get these kind of sob-stories written about them and they shouldn’t - if you go to another country, go prepared to obey its laws. I’m sorry for Griner, but no more than I’m sorry for some random American in prison for drug-smuggling in Singapore or Australia.
If it was Singapore that person might be pining for the fjords.
