Nine years after her arrest and conviction for smuggling more than 4kg of marijuana into Bali, the former Gold Coast beautician will move from Kerobokan prison to her sister's family home.

Indonesian Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin said he would sign her parole papers, along with those of 1700 other prisoners by Friday.

"Corby doesn't get any special treatment. As long as she fulfils all the requirements, and based on the recommendation of the correctional monitoring team, she has the right to get her right. And based on the law, she will get it. So, there is no special treatment for Corby," Mr Syamsuddin told reporters in Jakarta.

Sources within the jail yesterday said Corby was not openly celebrating because the document is not yet signed. She yesterday sent some clothes to the jail's laundry and appeared to be sorting through her property.

Kerobokan Jail Governor Farid Junaedi said Corby - who has battled mental illness during her time in jail - was pleased but still confused about the parole process.

"She really hopes for parole. She feels confused, wondering when the parole will be granted. But she was really happy when she learned that her Immigration letter had been issued," Mr Junaedi said yesterday.

Opposition builds against imminent release of Schapelle Corby | News.com.au

Opposition builds against imminent release of Schapelle Corby


OPPOSITION is building in Indonesia against the imminent release of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby.
Indonesia's national anti-narcotic movement, Granat, is critical of their government's impending decision to grant Corby parole.

Chairman Henry Yosodiningrat said the decision will hurt "the people's sense of fairness in this country".

#####

Then "the people's sense of fairness" in Indonesia needs to attend a special seminar, where things can be explained to it.

She's been in their prison for nearly ten years, lying on a mattress on the human waste filled floor in the dirty cell.
Reportedly;
. Rats run over her body at night, and large ants and other bugs bite her continually.
. 3-eyed snakes inhabit the cesspool where she is supposed to do her washing.
. The stench in her cell is almost unbearable.
. She has been taunted by some of the guards.

She has only had a bucket of cold water and a ladle each day for bathing for the last 9 1/2 years.
She has gone 'crazy', chasing imaginary ducks around her cell.

She has suffered enough.
Time she is set free.

We'll see what Indonesia comes up with.

I have never believed she was guilty. Ever. Even if she was, 20 years is pathetic. You don't even get that much for murder over there. Let her out, and let her come home.

Agree.

Did the Indonesian man who stabbed Aussie girl Heidi Murphy to death get 20 years, or a death sentence?
Of course not.

Man gets 15 years' jail for killing Heidi Murphy - World - smh.com.au

Man gets 15 years' jail for killing Heidi Murphy


AN INDONESIAN man has been sentenced to 15 years' jail for killing the Australian Heidi Murphy in a Bali villa, an act the judges said was sadistic and inhuman.

 

[Noomi]

Their justice system is completely fucked. Corrupt bastards that they are.

 

[bianco]

Seems to be.

Aussie boys Chan and Sukumaran are in prison in Indonesia waiting for the day they'll be dragged from their cells and execution-shredded for trying to smuggle heroin out of Bali...while the Indonesian man only got 15 years for stabbing Heidi Murphy to death.

The Indonesian men who hacked off the heads of the three Christian schoolgirls only got 14 years, the leader got 20 years.

IMO the media attention and public interest/outrage all along have been the things that have kept her from being sentenced to death and execution-shredded like Chan and Sukumaran look like being, ...and from being transferred to a hard time prison on Java where she would've had to eat rats and bugs to try to survive, and would likely have died in a short time...being away from her family and support.

Schapelle Corby's secret transfer to remote Java prison

Schapelle's new hell: "This could kill her"

There are new fears for her life with a top secret plan to transfer her from her Bali jail to a remote prison in Java, reports Corby biographer Kathryn Bonella.

The nightmare Schapelle Corby has been fearing for the past five years is now a reality, as a secret document outlining her transfer to a new faraway prison has been leaked exclusively to Woman’s Day.
The document, from the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights, confirms Schapelle’s worst fears that she will be taken away from her lifeline of family and friends and forced to move to a remote East Javanese jail.

“Hereby ordering the Head of Kerobokan Detention Centre, Denpasar, Bali, to carry out the transfer of the convict in the name of Sceppele (sic) Corby … to be transferred to Women’s Detention Centre in Malang, East Java. The order becomes effective from the date the transfer is signed.”

For the full story, including Mercedes Corby's exclusive interview with Woman's Day and the impact this move will have on Schapelle's unstable state, see this week's Woman's Day, on sale April 1, 2010.

At one stage the death penalty was on the table.
People set up websites like 'dontshootschapelle.com' etc and there were massive protests..

There was public outrage at this intended transfer disclosed by Womans Day...and Schapelle was not transferred.

When she was first arrested her food [and that for other inmates] was 'rancid rice and two prawnheads'.

A quiet exit from the prison today would've been ideal, but in reality that was never going to happen.

In Singapore and Malaysia she would've been hanged.
At least Indonesia, with all the things many people have not been happy about, has tried to make the conditions in the prison more human rights friendly.
They improved the food, installed a phone for the inmates, got Schapelle's [and the other women's] beds up off the floor...etc.

And today they've released her on parole after 9.5 years...half of her [outrageous] 20 year sentence.
