Prioritize:
Sorry, but I won’t sympathise with a drug smuggler.

The opening is quite tedious and I couldn't get hooked at all, but the second half is an iconic atmospheric exhibition. If, God forbid, I ever had to choose which prison to serve a life sentence in, it certainly wouldn't be a Turkish one...
