Bond and Bail: Staying In Shape In India In Jail

August 31, 2011 by

[HTML1] When California girl, Heather Bond and her mom checked into a small airport for their flight home from India, they were suddenly arrested and thrown into prison. The first 24 hours, they thought their biggest issue was missing their flight. Months later, they were still in India, in jail.

*Two outdoor spigots served all water and plumbing needs (yes, ALL);
*One outfit was all Heather had throughout;
*Three and a half months went by in unimaginable conditions.

It all adds up to a riveting story and a person who came out stronger than ever.

>How did Heather stay mentally and physically strong not knowing what was going on, how long she would be held, and sharing a small space with 25 other female prisoners, only one of whom spoke English?>Why did she work out in the Indian prison when she was losing too much weight already from lack of sufficient food?

>How did she stay fit given no equipment, 100 degree weather, high humidity and only an hour a day in the yard?

Once Heather got released, she turned her experience into a positive one you can take advantage of through Healing Adventure Retreats.
