tell me coach- if a visitor from another country commits a crime while here in the u.s., what happens to them? are they thrown in jail for years on end, with no formal charges, because our constitution doesn't apply to them? i'll save you time thinking about it, the answer is no. just like if you or i travelled elsewhere and broke a law, we would be tried by that countrys courts, and put in that country's jail. when i was stationed in japan years ago, we were cautioned on that very thing-because the japanese jail system is far less kind than our own. a consistent diet of rice is probably not most folks cup of tea.
