[quote]A man who was locked in a tiny cell by drug agents for five days without water and food has told of drinking his own urine to survive.
Daniel Chong was swept up during a drug raid in San Diego on 21 April, and placed in a 5ft (1.5m) by 10ft cell, where he was forgotten.
Mr Chong said he lost 15lb (7kg) and was hallucinating by the third day.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials are investigating why Mr Chong was left in the cell for so long.
"They never came back, ignored all my cries and I still don't know what happened," the UC San Diego student said. "I'm not sure how they could forget me."
'Sorry Mom'
According to the DEA, the student was one of nine people detained as a search warrant was executed.
At the residence, DEA agents say they found about 18,000 pills of MDMA, also known as ecstasy, as well as marijuana, prescription medications, hallucinogenic mushrooms and several firearms.
"The individual in question was at the house, by his own admission, to get high with his friends," the statement said.
DEA San Diego acting agent-in-charge William Sherman said on Wednesday that he was "deeply troubled by the incident that occurred here last week".
"I extend my deepest apologies to the young man and want to express that this event is not indicative of the high standards that I hold my employees to."
During a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Chong said agents had questioned him on 21 April but told him he could go home.
One DEA agent even offered him a ride, he said.
Somehow, instead of returning home Mr Chong was "accidentally left in one of the cells", say officials.
Mr Chong said he heard DEA employees and other prisoners, and he screamed and kicked the door, but received no response.
When he was found, Mr Chong was incoherent and close to kidney failure, his lawyer said. He was brought to hospital where he spent three days in an intensive care unit.
Mr Chong broke shards from his glasses and attempted to carve "Sorry Mom" on his arm.
His lawyer, Gene Iredale, confirmed the student had ingested a powdery substance in the cell, which turned out to be methamphetamine.
According to Mr Iredale, he and Mr Chong may file a lawsuit in federal court.[/quote]

It won't make up for it but if they're nice he might fuck them in the ass in court a little less hard.
Or not.
gotta love the dea
\: Poor guy. I'm glad he's alright though.
I was gonna post a Bear Grylls image macro, but I don't want to be banned. :P
Also, I feel bad for that dude.
This is incredibly stupid that this happened. It doesn't even really make sense, it's not like he deserved it. (Not saying anyone could deserve this.) But it seems like such a stupid mistake, I couldn't even believe it was real, and thought that this was a joke article when I first read it. I hope the Agents in charge of this get fired, he gets a lot of money. I know this was an accident, but not one that should happen or ever happen again. I hope proper measure will know be put in place to make sure this never happens.

Ray: "Hey John, do you wanna sign out this Daniël guy and mark the cell as unoccupied? I'll give him a ride home after I'm done doing some paperwork".
- And then Ray forgot about Daniël. The End.

Didn't read.
I think the best part is where he found Meth on the floor and ate it. Just sitting there, on the floor, in a DEA office.

Now all he needs to do is squeeze the liquid out of his stools and drink it in order to survive.
