Mormon missionary reveals his prison hell in Venezuela

The Mormon missionary jailed in Venezuela over bogus claims of government espionage has spoken of his prison hell and how his new wife was electrocuted and tortured to elicit a false confession about her American husband.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Josh Holt said he’s ‘grateful to God’ he and Venezuelan wife Thamy Caleno, who was also jailed, survived their two-year ordeal.

Speaking from his home in Riverton, Utah, Josh tells how callous Venezuelan intelligence operatives roughed him up and terrified him with staged fake executions.

Typical Cuban prison conditions in Venezuela of course.

What leaves one awestruck as well, is this prison was a former shopping mall, an attractive mall at that.  El Helicoide prison, the pictures made me do a double-take.

And more at links. The prisoner Holt gives graphic testimony of what his prison stay was like.  Per excerpt rules, I just leave the above.

Also, quoted from the "print" article of the Daily Mail rather than the main page.
