A- A A+

Schapelle Leigh Corby, the Australian citizen drug smuggling convict in Bali, celebrated Christmas cheerfully with visitors in Kerobokan Penitentiary Saturday.

According to kompas.com, visitors started flooding the penitentiary on that day. Corby, who was wearing a black top and skirt and a black hat, laughed while chatting with those who visited her.

“We give visitors a chance on Christmas to gather with their families who are convicts or detainees,” warden Siswanto said.

He said that on Christmas Eve mass, held in the penitentiary’s main hall, Corby, along with another drug smuggler convict Renae Lawrance, mingled with 149 other convicts celebrating the holiday, until late night.

Corby is serving 20 years in prison for attempted smuggle of over 4 kilograms of marijuana.
