Yesterday a judge was telling me how he ended up in jail in Tiajuana, Mex. when he was in the service. He was in an 8' by 8' cell with seven other guys for several hours. His money and valuables were turned over, but he had $5 in his sock, which he used to bribe a guard to let him use the phone. He called his buddy at his base, and had him drive down with $50 to get him out of jail. Apparently, cash makes the trumped up charges disappear in Tiajuana.
He got out, escaping a reprimand or a court martial by minutes.
