Schapelle Corby: My life in a Bali jail

Schapelle Corby, the babe in a Bali jail, has written a book. Well she hasn’t actually written it, she told stories to a female reporter, who turned it into something resembling a coherant account, of life behind bars, Bali style.

Schapelle recalls seeing some appalling sights, including female guards kissing prisoners and others fighting with glass bottles. In her book ‘My Story‘, she saves her most scathing remarks for the Bali Nine, and particularly, Renae Lawrence. Its often hard to tell fact from fiction out here, and the press often cloud the truth. But its hard to argue that Schapelle made certain comments, when they are in her own book. I wonder if other prisoners get a free copy.

Most of us have never spent time in jail, and it must be a sobering experience. That small prison must seem like a nuthouse, with all those drug addict, tattoed, toothless Sumatrans and ragtags from other parts of the country. One hopes that Schapelle will maintain her composure, keep a strong mentality, and not let her current situation get to her.
