While many people were playing after dinner games and watching festive films, the convict claims he was playing cards with two hitmen he shared his cell with.
Speaking to the Mirror, Deamer - who is referred to as the East Midlands Escobar - said: "Christmas is a time for family and it’s devastating to be so far from home at this time of the year never knowing if I will make it out alive from this ordeal.

“The hardest part isn’t the rats or the disgusting soup, it’s being away from your family. I regret the pain and worry I put them through.”
The 55-year-old, who is locked up in La Picota jail in Bogota, Colombia, added: "Being here is very scary. Everything you can see on documentaries about how hard prison is in Colombia is an understatement.
“It’s hell on earth. My cellmates are some of the most dangerous offenders in Colombia. But we get on very well and spend our time playing cards or board games.”

But it's something he's experienced before because he's been inside for more than three years after his home was raided.
Speaking about the prison, he said: "The prison is extremely dangerous and each wing is run by prisoners.
“There are armed gangs on the stairwells who rob inmates at knifepoint.
"Each cell has a makeshift lock on the inside to keep other prisoners from attacking inmates during any unrest.”
Despite being sentenced to 14 years, Deamer reckons he could be out in 2024.
