EXCLUSIVE Brit woman, 21, rotting in Dubai hell hole jail without 'a shower for a month' after being arrested for drugs charges just weeks after arriving for new job
Isabella Daggett, 21, was arrested just weeks after relocating from Yorkshire to the puritanical desert city state after landing a new job.
But her desperate family insist she was seized by cops simply for being 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' and has never used narcotics.
Ms Daggett, who also jointly ran a small family-owned modelling agency, had been offered the chance to work in Dubai in early spring but was caught up in a drugs raid soon after arrival.
Her grandmother Heather Smith said: 'Bella has been locked up because she was in the wrong company. Wrong place, wrong time. Wrong boyfriend.
'She has been in prison since March but we have finally got a court date for next month.
'She was arrested with a lad, that was not her boyfriend, who she was staying with because things had fallen through with another house.'
Exactly what charges Ms Daggett faces have not been made public.

Mrs Smith continued: 'All I know is that she rang me a week before all this happened and said that she wasn't happy and she knew something wasn't right.
'She was going to move out and come home to Leeds. And then this happened.
'I don't know the whole thing. I'm not sure what charges she has been arrested for, only possession of something - probably drugs, but I don't know for certain.
'But she is innocent because they have done all the tests and there was nothing in her system.'
Mrs Smith said her granddaughter had been working for a businessman doing internet recruiting for construction sites in the UK, before her boss offered her the chance to work in Dubai in a similar role.
'The bloke she was working for said for her to come to Dubai, you'll love it there, the lifestyle is wonderful…blah, blah, blah,' said Mrs Smith. 'Now she is locked up.
'And women get treated far worse than male prisoners, who get to go outside, they get sports, a PlayStation and a television - Bella has nothing.
'She hasn't had a shower for a month, she hasn't had a change of clothes for three months. She has had nothing.
'She can speak to me and her mum every day though, which is good. But we have been in bits.'
Mrs Smith said the family had given the young women a stern warning about the pitfalls of life behind Dubai's glamorous façade.
'We told Bella before she went to Dubai 'you know the rules in Dubai, play by the rules, don't flaunt this, don't do that'
'But there was a whole sequence of events that led up to her, inadvertently, being in this bloke's house, where she didn't want to be. She didn't really like him that much.
'He may be guilty of something, but she isn't.'
Isabella and her mother, Lucinda Smith, 44, are co-directors of Leeds-based firm the Global Model Agency Ltd and Lucinda posted a GoFundMe page for her daughter this week, under the headline 'Help Get Bella Home' with a £5,500 target.
She wrote: 'To our dear friends and family. I am reaching out to you in a time of great need.
'My daughter Isabella has been wrongfully detained in Dubai, and we are doing everything we can to prove her innocence and bring her back home.
'We have proof she was not involved in these charges and are determined to fight for her freedom. The hideous conditions she is living in is enough to break any mother's heart.
'The legal and travel expenses are overwhelming, and we need your support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us cover the costs of legal fees, travel, and other necessary expenses.'

Disney star Skai Jackson's baby daddy is 'arrested AGAIN' after her shocking abuse claims
Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson's baby daddy has been arrested again just weeks after she made shocking abuse claims against him. Deondre Burgin — who shares a newborn child with Jackson — was apprehended at a Kentucky gas station on July 14 after cops discovered he had an active out-of-state warrant, according to TMZ. Burgin was cleaning his vehicle at the gas station when a police officer drove by and reportedly scanned his license plate, which a spokesperson for the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office explained is common practice in that county. Burgin's scanned plate revealed that he had 'an active warrant out of Hamilton County, Ohio ' and he was then arrested. has reached out to Jackson's representatives for comment. The Ohio arrest warrant was related to a March 6 incident where Burgin was pulled over in Cincinnati and given a ticket for improper display of a license plate and failing to reinstate his driver's license, the outlet reports. He was scheduled to appear in court on May 5 but he never showed, according to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office. Two days later, a warrant for Burgin's arrest was issued. It's unclear if Burgin has remained behind bars since his July 14 arrest or if he was released on bond. Burgin's latest lockup comes three months after he was arrested in April over the same outstanding warrant. Similarly to the July 14th arrest, Burgin was also apprehended at a Kentucky gas station after a 'police officer recognized him from the National Crime Information Center database.' At the time, he was reportedly being held on a $25,000 bond. This came less than three months after he served a 90-day sentence for violating his parole from an earlier theft and weapon possession case as a juvenile at the Hamilton County Jail. Burgin was behind bars when Jackson gave birth to their baby boy, Kasai, in January 2025. In November, one day after Jackson, revealed she was expecting, Burgin was taken into custody in Cincinnati, Ohio after a botched foot chase with officers. The Ohio arrest warrant was related to a March 6 incident where Burgin was pulled over in Cincinnati and given a ticket for improper display of a license plate and failing to reinstate his driver's license At the time, police said in a report, reviewed by TMZ, that Burgin initially fled the scene when they approached him over a juvenile parole violation warrant. Burgin tripped, fell and suffered a cut on his cheek in the encounter, according to the outlet, after which police placed him in handcuffs. Burgin was released after receiving a citation for misdemeanor obstruction of official business, police sources told the outlet. Burgin's latest arrest comes two months after Jackson came forward to accuse him of abuse while filing for a restraining order against him in May. In the filing, Jackson claimed that her boyfriend tried to choke her on Mother's day. The Bunk'd standout also alleged that Burgin grabbed her by her hair, slammed her head against a car window and punched her in the face. She had their son Kasai, aged three months, in her arms during the attack, it was also claimed by the star in documents seen by the site. Jackson filed for a restraining order in L.A. County Superior Court as she feared for her life, it was also alleged. She has asked a judge to keep Burgin 100 yards away from her, their baby and her dog. Skai also wants him to attend a domestic violence treatment program, the site also stated. Skai is seeking a legal child support agreement and for him to pay all her legal fees, the site claimed the documents read. The violence was nothing new, the actress claimed, as she added he has been frightening her for more than a year. The TV star also alleged that he abused her weekly during a six-month period in 2024. That included choking and scratching her and slamming her head into a wall, she claimed in her paperwork. And he allegedly damaged her iPhone and a television. While she was pregnant, Skai claims Burgin demanded she drink bleach to 'kill the unborn child,' the site added. And he 'held her at knifepoint as he walked her to her car and threatened to stab her in the stomach if she yelled for help,' the site claimed. He then punched through a bathroom door, slammed her against a wall and 'choked me until I could not breathe' and she she has video to prove it, she alleged in her documents. He also has guns, she claimed: three firearms, including a rifle. Last year Jackson was in hot water herself when she was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, but not charged. In September it was revealed that the Los Angeles District Attorney's office declined to file charges and dropped the case against her. She was previously arrested on August 8 at Universal Studios CityWalk in Los Angeles, California after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend. Police responded to a call from the theme park after security personnel detained Jackson for allegedly pushing her boyfriend. Deputies reviewed the surveillance footage of the alleged incident. At the time, her representative told PEOPLE: 'Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding.' 'We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind her,' her rep continued. At the time of her arrest, law enforcement sources told TMZ she told the arresting officers she was 'happily engaged and expecting a baby.' The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office informed the outlet that the case would not go forward due to Jackson not having any criminal history.

The Turkish mega-prison that became symbol of Erdoğan's authoritarianism
Silivri was once just a getaway town. An hour's drive west of Istanbul, it was famed for its lavender, its yoghurt, and its summer houses dotted along the Marmara Sea. But to most in Turkey now, Silivri means something different: not the town, but the mega-complex a little further down the coast. This is the prison that since March has held the Istanbul mayor – and rival to president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – Ekrem İmamoğlu, as he awaits trial for corruption – and now, the place where he has been given a twenty month sentence, in another of the litany of charges against him, for insulting and 'threatening' a public official. It started taking in prisoners in 2008. Turkish coverage at the time marvelled at the size. Here was a complex – a 'campus', in the new lingo – made of nine separate prisons, spread across almost 1m sq metres, and with a stated capacity of 11,000 people. For the on-site staff alone, there were 500 apartments, a mosque, a market and restaurant, and a primary school for their children. As one prisoner would later write, he would hear them from his cell singing the Turkish national anthem in the playground. Silivri was meant to replace the dilapidated old inner-city jails. It had, it was breathlessly reported, TV and radios in every cell, more than 2,000 security cameras, and eye retina scans for staff coming in and out. Prisoners had access to an indoor sports centre and two open-air football pitches. The mega-prison was swept into a broader narrative of the early Erdoğan years – of a country that was modernising fast. And soon events at Silivri would speak to something deeper too, and hopes that Erdoğan was breathing new life into Turkish democracy itself. For before Silivri was even completed, it began to host a series of groundbreaking trials. Prosecutors had claimed to have unearthed a series of plots among Turkey's old, secular establishment – generals and police chiefs, journalist and lawyers – aimed at overthrowing its elected Islamist government. Hundreds of them were tried at a time in Silivri, not in its courtrooms but in one of its gym halls repurposed for the task, as scores of gendarmes guarded the prison's perimeter. It seemed, for many onlookers, that Silivri was the scene of a historic reckoning with Turkey's past – of the humbling of a secular military elite who had overshadowed democracy for so long. But by the time the guilty verdicts came in 2012, many in Turkey were having doubts. The indictments, it turned out, were full of inaccuracies, typos and doctored documents. In fact, there was scant evidence that the plots had existed at all. In hindsight, the Silivri trials hinted at what was to come: the use of police and prosecutors, courts and police to go after the government's opponents. It was all accelerated in Erdoğan's second decade in power, a period marked by not only a failed coup but a state of emergency and a new constitution. A political crackdown brought the arrests of activists, journalists, lawyers, politicians and tens of thousands of ordinary citizens besides. Meanwhile, a moral panic about urban crime led to a huge increase in prison time for petty offences. Turkey's prison population began to soar. In 2002, when Erdoğan's party came to power, Turkey had about 60,000 prisoners; now it probably has over 350,000. In the Council of Europe's latest report, Turkey was said to have about as many imprisoned as the other 45 countries put together. Silivri, built to a capacity of 11,000, was most recently reported to be housing 22,000 people. It is one of the largest prisons in the world. The conditions have always been austere. As the author Ahmet Altan described – during his own imprisonment after the failed coup – occasionally in the spring, passing birds would drop flowers for their nests into his small and sunless courtyard. Once he took one and put it in a plastic bottle to decorate his cell. The next day, the officers took the flower away. Lawyers, wardens, former inmates and their families all speak of a system overstretched: of units for 21 housing nearly 50; of meals shrinking, or of mattresses having to be shared out in shifts; or, during weekly exercise sessions on Silivri's much-vaunted sports pitches, inmates trying to organise a game of football with 40 players at a time. There have always been accusations – denied by the prison authorities – of frequent beatings by guards and deliberate acts of humiliation. In a case three years ago, after an inmate died in Silivri, the prison insisted the cause was a heart attack. His family did not believe it and said his body had been beaten black and blue. The detention of inmates such as İmamoğlu tends to be different. Kept in isolation, in a unit specifically reserved for its high-profile political prisoners, few report any physical mistreatment. Instead, the punishment is the Turkish court process itself: pre-trial detentions that can last years; judges and prosecutors under intense political pressure; and even – as İmamoğlu has found out – the possibility that an inmate's lawyer might be detained too. Today, Silivri has become a symbol of how far Erdoğan is willing to go to stay in power. So much so that the prison's infamous name has found itself part of a Turkish phrase. Silivri soğuk – meaning Silivri's cold – is said to friends, half in jest, half in warning, when they say or do something political deemed to go over the line.
