Do the US Allies Release US Prisoners to the US Anymore?

There used to be a time when a law-abiding American citizen came upon trouble while visiting a foreign country, the US ambassador in that country would pull a few strings so the authorities could release the prisoner to the US. Okay, allow me to make this segway from A$AP Rocky. I know a lot of us to have a short attention span these days but who remembers Dominique Strauss-Kahn?
