Schapelle Corby


Schapelle Corby has been denied a Christmas reductionin her sentence.Jail officials told Corby she had been denied a reduction of up to two months in her sentence as she waited yesterday for a visit from family members, including her mother Rosleigh Rose and sister Mercedes.
Restricting visits will be a harsh additional punishment for the
Australians, including six young drug mules facing execution.
Mr Djaja denied that Corby and jail guards had been sharing
money paid for visits by tourists. He said the new rules wouldapply only to Australian prisoners.The news was better yesterday for Renae Lawrence, the only female member of the Bali nine drug ring that tried to smuggle 8.2
kilograms of heroin into Australia in 2005.Mr Djaja said he had recommended to officials in Jakarta that Lawrence’s 20-year sentence be cut.Mr Djaja said Corby was not among 81 prisoners recommended for a sentence reduction to mark yesterday’s religious holiday in Indonesia because she had been caught with a mobile phone this
year.She also missed out on a sentence reduction marking Indonesia’s Independence Day in August.
