Haxhi Sula had initially been working at a car wash before being moved to the 'professional' cannabis farm at a property in Telford.
The property where Sula worked contained around 372 cannabis plants.
The court heard that Sula himself accepted he was not a slave, but said that he was put under pressure to work in the cannabis factory. Judge Taylor said Sula had tried to escape by jumping out of a rear window but only got as far as the neighbouring garden before officers caught him. He had been smuggled into the country in the back of a lorry by a gang with the purpose of paying off a €35,000 debt his brother had racked up with criminals.
"As a result of that he agreed to be smuggled into this country in the back of a lorry in order to earn money to pay that debt. He added that Sula had pleaded guilty at his first appearance in the crown court and that he would have liked to have come to the country legally to earn money to support his family.
