Schapelle Corby: My life is hell in Bali

Schapelle Corby, the convicted drug smuggler imprisoned in Kerobokan jail, says her life is hell. Cramped conditions, scummy roomates and no freedom, have had a steady wearing down effect on the former beauty therapist.


Right now I can totally understand where she’s coming from. I took a shower at 4pm, and brushing my teeth I was sweating again. The heat alone in that jail must be awful. Sanitary conditions, along with the general health of the other inmates, must make living in Kerobokan a health hazard.

Schapelle Corby‘s new book, My Story, talks about her drug conviction and life in jail. From a Bali tourist’s point of view, its a bit of a lark, trying to visit Schapelle or the Bali Nine. From their point of view, it must compound the insanity, of being locked in a stinking cage. Maybe Schapelle will opt for a prisoner exchange, should the law be passed. Certainly her health would be a lot better, in the long run.

On another note. All you lovers of real-life crime thrillers. OJ Simpson, ‘The Juice’, who got away with murder back in 1995, has written a book called ‘If I Did It‘. In the book, he states he did not kill his wife and her lover, but then describes how he ‘would of done it’. Is this guy trying to make people puke? ‘How I would of killed my ex-wife (who I supposedly loved)?’ One thing you have to say for OJ though, he played his cards right, at the right time, beating that amount of evidence was the escape of the century.
