Thread: Schapelle Corby - Guilty or not?

Heck, it's only weed- normally I'd say 8 years porridge is plenty. She should serve the rest of her sentence for being a general pain in the arse, a serial liar, a malingerer, and insulting the people and government of Indonesia. Plus another two years for the Corby accent, in solitary. Kerobokan ain't too bad actually- and she can get weed in there without hiding it in a boogie board.

Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has earned the ire of the chief warden of Bali's Kerobokan Penitentiary, which could derail her chances of getting another remission or parole.

“I have to be strict from now on,” the chief warden, Gusti Ngurah Wiratna, said on Wednesday as quoted by Antaranews.com. “If she fails to perform her duties, we will not give her any privileges. Don't ask for a remission or parole.”

Wiratna said the 36-year-old Corby failed to attend several mandatory activities, the latest being the ceremony on Wednesday morning to declare Kerobokan Penitentiary a model prison for being free of mobile phones, illegal fees and drugs.

“Corby was absent for no clear reason,” he said, adding that she also refused to attend a Christmas celebration on Jan. 4, 2013.

“Whoever the prisoner is, regardless of whether they are one of our own people or a foreigner, if they don't perform their duties and join all activities, we will punish them,” he added.

Other prisoners who did not attend the ceremony included convicted British drug smuggler Lindsay Sandiford.

Corby, who was sentenced in 2005 to 20 years in prison for attempting to smuggle 4.2 kilograms of marijuana into Bali, has already received seven years and seven months worth of sentence cuts.

Sentence cuts in Indonesia are traditionally given to mark Independence Day and on major religious holidays — Christmas for Christian inmates, Idul Fitri for Muslims, Galungan for Hindus and Waisak for Buddhists. The remissions are given based on recommendations from prison officials.

In addition to a combined 31 months worth of remissions given out during holidays, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono granted her a five-year reduction in May 2012.

She is now due to be released in September 2017, earlier if she gets parole. But in November 2012, senior prison official Rachmat Priyo Sutardjo told AFP that the parole has been suspended. Without parole, she is not due for release until September 2017.

“We have suspended parole requests by foreign prisoners as the new immigration law contradicts a current regulation,” senior prisons official Rachmat Priyo Sutardjo told AFP.

This is the reason I recon the Mad Bint Corby has done enough time as she is serving time in a shit hole where the vast number of law enforcers and Judiciary should be locked up with her.

Spot on, Terry. Their hypocrisy reeks.

I tend to agree with Sabang. Her choice to behave in a way whilst she is inside that would have given her the opportunity of earlier release. It appears that she has failed to take advantage of all the leniency on offer and to be fair the Indo authorities are doing society a favour by keeping her locked up for as long as possible.

Failing the attitude test when you've already been a naughty girl will only extend ones servitude, an issue which she appears not to have grasped which given her wonderful upbringing is of little surprise really.

Interesting, says he has me on ignore, yet opens a thread started by me to comment on.

If you are silly enough to buy drugs in Kuta from one of those strange people at the side of the road on Jl Legian you deserve it.

There is a long running police sting in operation, one of them offers you drugs, you buy, you walk a bit, you get nicked, if smart you negotiate your way out or you go to jail. And a joint is worth 7 years......

I asked the head of police intelligence in southern Bai about it. As far as he was concerned it was sweeping the streets of drug fiends, if they did not buy from his man they would buy from someone else. "Entrapment" is not an Indonesian word.

If you have cash you can surely buy your way out, it is not the sole objective of catching drug fiends but with police salaries around $200 per month they are wide open to it. if you did not buy your way out quickly you would regret it, as more people to buy off. Look upon it as an on the spot fine.

Indonesia under Suharto was a Mafia business designed to funnel money upwards, lettung Suharto wet his beak everywhere. You cannot change that overnight.

I have a lot of time for this team, keeping southern Bali safe is a very difficult job. If you hear of a gang of terrorists being shot dead in Bali, you know who are behind it, those same nice gentlemen.

So please don't criticise, just respect that the laws in Indonesia are strict and they will be enforced with rough justice, sometimes very rough.

And if you want a toke in Bali, leave and go to Australia.


PS Judges in Indonesia are scumbags, greedy and half competent. If you want some time off I always say to bribe at Poldar level, don't wait until court.

What amazes me is that she stays inside at night most of the time. The going rate for living out is around $2000 per month as long as you are back for morning roll call.

Go to Bosi nightclub's lounge bar and it is full of rough looking gentlemen. A number of prisoners plus guards having a night out.

You can get anything and fix anything in Kerobokan with a little cash, the guards and Governor earn buttons.

And who is doing that? It is possible to make life easy, but you cant buy your way out for only 2 grand a month. Especially at night. I do know.

Exactly Kingwilly, Gayus was a prime example of what money can get you out of.

He also picked up a passport from a passport office in East Jakarta and flew around the region whilst he was supposed to be locked up.

If you combine low salaries with a lax mentality the guards will do almost anything for you in Kerobokan.

They are building a new prison up in the hills, that will make it a lot more difficult to get a decent meal, drink and time on the dance floor.

I'm sure Mercedes and Wayan visit her quite regularly.

Corby may have to come clean to get parole



Schapelle Corby may need to admit for the first time ever that she is a drug smuggler, and then show remorse for her crime, before she can be granted parole under tough new laws passed in Indonesia.

As Kerobokan's prison governor Ngurah Wiratna met Corby’s lawyer yesterday, he confirmed that she would need to prove to the country's anti-narcotics police, BNN, that she was willing to be a "justice collaborator" in future, but also to admit she was involved in the 2004 drug importation of 4.1kg of cannabis.

The harsh new regulation signed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in November throws a significant new hurdle up for Corby, who is hoping to apply for parole soon so she can serve the rest of her sentence under the care of her sister Mercedes, who lives in Bali.

Corby has always insisted she was the innocent victim of a scam run by Qantas baggage handlers at Sydney airport who put the drug into her boogie board bag without her knowledge.

But the new regulation affects all prisoners serving sentences in Indonesia for drugs, terrorism, transnational crime, corruption and treason. It has thrown into doubt hundreds of thousands of prisoners' applications for remission of their sentences as well as parole.

Corby's lawyer Iskandar Nawing admitted he had not yet spoken about the new provision to Corby's family. Other issues needed to come first, he said, particularly the refusal so far of Indonesia's immigration department to confirm whether his client will be given a visa to allow her to stay in the country during her parole.

Two conflicting immigration regulations have so far prevented any decision on that issue, and Mr Nawing has said he could not file for parole until the issue was clarified.

However, he said the letter signed last week by the Australian government, which has guaranteed Corby's good behaviour was "a blessing from god for me and for my client".

"This guarantee letter, I think, is very important for the parole process. It's not easy for any government to issue this kind of guarantee," he said.

Another letter from Corby's sister Mercedes' Balinese husband Wayan Widyartha guarantees that Corby can live with them after her release and that they will support her financially, emotionally and "oversee and educate (her) to be a responsible citizen".

On the need to admit guilt, Mr Nawing said: "I haven't discussed the new regulations with Corby yet. I will deal with what's at hand first."

The prison governor confirmed yesterday that Corby, like hundreds of thousands of other prisoners on drug offences, would need to admit her guilt.

Asked about Corby's chances of fulfilling the conditions he said: "The regulation is very clear - you have to draw your own conclusion".

President Yudhoyono last year granted Corby a five-year sentence reduction after she appealed to him for clemency, reducing her jail term from 20 years to 15. It is rare in Indonesia for prisoners on drug offences, and those who have not admitted their guilt, to be granted presidential clemency.

"Schapelle Corby may need to admit for the first time ever that she is a drug smuggler, and then show remorse for her crime, before she can be granted parole under tough new laws passed in Indonesia."

That's a tough new law? The granting of early parole is a privilege and has always worked that way in most countries.

I'm amazed she still makes news.
Maybe Dylan should write a song about the bitch.

My guess is dhe didn't put the stuff in the baq. I think it was her brother's and she thought when they took the bag that she would get away by wiggling her backside.

The Bahasa Indonesia word is



"menjerat"

Yes it is. (I didn't know it, but the missus said it means that).

Jeessus, just put your hand up, admit your a nasty drug smuggling piece of scum and get on with your life.

No bloody point to continue the lie and maintain you where set up is there. ?

Just get the fok out of that jail and go live with her sister.

My guess is she'll do just that and as soon as she manages to leave the country she'll retract the confession and claim it was made under duress.

Interesting thought, and maybe BobR would know cos he used to be a lawyer, but if she confesses that she was indeed guilty after all, does that open her up to perjury and contempt of court charges?

Defendants cannot be found guilty of perjury in what they say in their defense. Else every convicted person ona not guilty plea would also, by default be guilty of perjury.
