Sigh. That did happen every once in a while.
USUALLY it was the result of some foreigner, usually an American, trying to smuggle in some contraband religious stuff or alcohol.

I NEVER understood that. All us Americans were given a FULL WEEK'S orientation on what to do/not do and so on. Why those arsewholes HAD to break the law was beyond me.
Not only did THEY end up in a Saudi prison, they made it horrible for ALL their friends and co-workers and made it JUST that much harder for the rest of us who kept our noses clean.
Geez.

I can’t imagine what’d be like in a Saudi prison. An infidel would not have an easy time of it. During my two year tour, I can’t remember any American being in a Saudi slammer. The cops used to station a squad car right outside the gate to the embassy in hopes of catching a contractor driving drunk, after happy hour at the Marine House. Thank God for diplomatic immunity.
