Does anyone feel sorry for Bill Hayes after seeing the movie?

I sure don't feel sorry for him. He broke the law in another country and therefore should be punished in that country. Who does he think he is? To think that just because he's American, that he has the God given rights to smuggle drugs out of any country he pleases! The Americans should have been thanking Turkey for preventing a shipment of Hash from going straight into their country.

I think the Americans should have deported him back to Turkey to finish his sentence irregardless of how they treat their prisoners there.
