A love-lorn Italian guy gets locked up on apparently bogus charges, with no recourse, no rights, no nothing.

The money quote: “They were pretty shocked that the government could do this sort of thing, because it doesn’t happen that often, except to people you never hear about, like Haitians and Guatemalans.”
