Schapelle Corby Expected Back Home Next Year

[icyfroth]

Corby was sentenced to 20 years behind bars in 2005, for attempting to traffic 4.2 kilograms of cannabis into Bali. Her sentence was later reduced to 15 years.The 39-year-old was released on parole from Kerobokan Prison in February 2014. She is expected to be eligible for deportation out of Indonesia on May 27 next year, leaving behind her home for the past 12 years.

Parole Board officials keeping tabs on Corby will coordinate the details of her release with Indonesian Immigration over the next few months, News Corporation reported.Corby is Bali's first foreigner to be granted parole, and the second in the whole of Indonesia, so the process is unprecedented and logistics are difficult to iron out.

She is required to report to parole officers monthly and adhere to strict conditions of staying away from drugs and not committing any crimes.Mercedes, who lived in Bali when her sister's parole was granted, has since returned to Australia and has recently opened a Gold Coast bar with former pro-surfer Trudy Todd.

I bet she'll be glad to be back on home soil.

Most Aussies will be glad she's back too.

What would they be unhappy about? It was cannabis, not ice; she served 12 years in an Indonesian gaol plus several years on parole, nd she'll probably be hounded mercilessly by the australian press from the moment she steps off the plane. What more did you want - the death penalty?

I agree, it was hooch for goodness sake,  less harmful to us than nicotine and chemicals in cigarettes.

Yes I know, their country, thier laws, bit IMO she has done her time. More than.
