While Cassie Sainsbury was fighting to survive in the notorious Columbian prison, she was being attacked on the outside. Just 22 and unable to speak Spanish, she was arrested, strip searched by male guards, sexually assaulted and thrown into an all-male holding cell, forced to use the toilets in front of dozens of men. That was just the beginning of her never ending nightmare. 

Cassie sits down for a rare tell-all interview with Gary Jubelin, revealing how she survived, why she doesn’t want to be remembered for her crime and what life looks like now.

Cassandra Sainsbury’s life changed forever when she was caught with 5.8kg of cocaine in Columbia. She spent three years in the notorious jail - a place so horrific she thought she’d leave in a body bag. She was sexually assaulted, stabbed by her cellmate and tortured by a prison dentist.

Cassie joins Gary Jubelin to share who she really is, and why there’s so much more to her than “Cocaine Cassie”.
