Not to trivialize your experience, but Ms. de Oliviera's sounds a lot more... uncomfortable. Being held overnight in a detention centre with no real understanding or communication about her situation is bad enough, but let's be honest, the Bahamas is incredibly patriarchal and I can only imagine the treatment she received as a foreign woman. I've dealt with American and Japanese customs for hours on end in similar circumstances to yours. I sympathize, believe me. It's uncomfortable, frustrating, and belittling. However, it seems Bahamian Customs took it to a different level detaining her in this manner. Just my two cents.
