Corby ‘fine, giggly, healthy': Prison boss

Australian drug convict Schapelle Corby was in high spirits when she heard that the President cut her 20-year prison sentence by five years, Kerobokan Prison warden I Gusti Ngurah Wiratna says.

"She was fine, giggly and healthy. She wasn't under any special medical condition," Ngurah said, as quoted by tempo.co.

"She even took care of her nails, putting on nail polish."

Ngurah's comments contradict statements by Corby's lawyer, Erwin Siregar, who said that the convict’s health has been deteriorating.

The President’s act of clemency, taken together with an additional 25 months of remission that she has received since 2006, means that the 34-year-old Australian will only have to serve about 13 years in prison.

Under Indonesia’s justice system, a convict may apply for parole after serving at least two-thirds of a prison term.

Despite her clemency, however, Ngurah said that it would be unlikely for Corby to given parole, claiming she had been behaving badly. (png)
