"Surviving Tiflet 2: A Journey of Ambition, Consequence, and Redemption.

Tiflet 2 Prison—a name that resonates with fear, isolation, and relentless hardship. Located near Rabat, Morocco, this maximum-security facility is notorious for its brutal conditions: prolonged solitary confinement, limited medical care, and an oppressive atmosphere where survival itself becomes an achievement.

For Scott Lumley, Tiflet 2 was more than a prison—it was a crucible of suffering and transformation. A visionary entrepreneur chasing bold dreams, Scott’s missteps led him behind the prison’s unforgiving walls, where the reality of confinement shattered his world. Attacks on his life were constant, the isolation was suffocating, and every moment became a battle to endure. In the darkness of Tiflet 2, Scott was forced to confront his decisions, his ego, and the true price of his ambition.

Scott’s experience is not unique within the walls of Tiflet 2. Sahrawi activist Mohamed Lamine Haddi endured a 69-day hunger strike to protest his treatment, languishing in prolonged solitary confinement and denied essential medical care. Similarly, journalist Omar Radi, imprisoned for his investigative reporting, faced severe restrictions, raising concerns about the suppression of free expression in Morocco. Sahrawi civilian prisoner Mohamed Lamin Abidin Hadi has also been subjected to harassment and mistreatment, with his voice silenced within the prison’s harsh confines.

Together, these stories underscore a chilling reality: Tiflet 2 Prison is not just a place of punishment but a symbol of systemic neglect, oppression, and suffering. Yet, Scott Lumley’s time there is also a testament to the power of resilience, humility, and redemption. His harrowing journey serves as a cautionary tale and a call to action—reminding us how easily success can unravel and how survival can ignite a deeper purpose.

The Hidden Horrors Behind Morocco’s Prison Walls
For anyone who has experienced the Moroccan prison system, the stories of isolation, humiliation, and survival share a haunting familiarity. Indicted and Abandoned explores Scott Lumley’s personal descent into Tiflet 2 Prison—a place where survival is a daily struggle, and the system itself feels unrelenting. But Scott’s story is just one thread in a larger tapestry of suffering that exists behind Morocco’s prison walls.
Take the case of Liziane Gutierrez, a Brazilian Instagram model arrested in Marrakesh for unknowingly violating local laws. Suspected of being transgender, she was subjected to invasive physical examinations to “confirm” her gender, a humiliating ordeal that highlights not only systemic mistreatment but a deep violation of dignity and human rights. Liziane described her month-long detention as a nightmare: overcrowded cells, suffocating heat, and unsanitary conditions that stripped her of hope.
These accounts—Scott’s time in Tiflet 2, Liziane’s experience in Marrakesh—are chilling reminders of the hidden realities within Morocco’s justice system. Behind locked doors, individuals face an environment that is dehumanizing, oppressive, and unforgiving. The faint cracks of light—resilience, survival, and eventual redemption—are hard-won battles against a system that seems designed to break the human spirit.
Scott Lumley’s Indicted and Abandoned is not just his story; it echoes the experiences of countless others who have endured imprisonment in Morocco. It exposes the truth, offering a sobering exploration of failure, redemption, and the power to rebuild when all hope seems lost.
