Pago Pago - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there personal security concerns to be aware of at this post? Please describe.
Some, but it is generally safe. Break-ins at expat houses are common. Rapes have occured. The longer you live here and the more locals you know the safer you become. The idea is that expats have no families to dole out retribution upon lawbreakers: live there long enough and if local community accepts you and you get de facto protection.
The "prison" has no locks. The lawyers (always expats) who prosecute criminals live right next door to the prison. - Feb 2018
