Addicted Traveler's Prison Ordeal in Japan

A planned birthday trip to Japan for Izabel Rose, intended as an escape from her ketamine addiction, resulted in a five-month prison sentence. Her dependency, which began on London's rave scene, had caused debilitating health issues, including severe abdominal pain and urinary problems.

Upon arriving in Tokyo, she immediately sought to source drugs, a decision fueled by her addiction. A contact in London arranged for ketamine to be posted to her hotel in Osaka, disguised within a birthday card. This package was intercepted by Japanese customs officials.

Izzy was apprehended at her hotel and subsequently interrogated for 24 hours before being detained at the Osaka Detention Centre. She faced prosecution and was then subjected to five months in solitary confinement, with communication severely restricted.
