Arrested at the airport on his way home to Florida from a vacation trip to San Jos?, Costa Rica, Dave "Cuba Dave" Strecker finds himself at the mercy of Costa Rica's so-called justice system, where he realizes he has no rights in any meaningful sense and has been singled out to be the only person ever prosecuted under a dubious law that tries to make it illegal to write about the fact that Costa Rica IS a sex-tourist destination. Without evidence or actual charges, Dave was denied bail and put into 'preventative detention' in a squalid, grossly overcrowded, third-world jail along with murderers, child rapists and even a cannibal. There are also good guys in his story... fellow prisoners whose kindness, compassion and sense of justice far surpassed that of the prosecutors, judges and one particularly self-serving non-profit organization that raises money under the pretext of saving prostitutes. Dave tells it like he sees it.
