Status: Hoax
This is in pretty bad taste, but kind of funny nevertheless, in a twisted kind of way. A guy in Bali named Eddie Hutauruk claims to be
offering guided tours that allow you to visit
Schapelle Corby in her jail cell. (For those who don't recognize who Schapelle Corby is, she's the Australian woman who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for supposedly trying to import 4.1 kg of cannabis into Bali. The cannabis was found in her luggage. A lot of people think she's innocent, and that the cannabis was put in her luggage by baggage handlers at the airport who were part of a drug-smuggling ring.) The Schapelle Corby tours offer a variety of options. The photo tour gives you just enough time to pose for a photo with her, or you can opt for the more expensive All Day Tour:
This tour allows you to observe Schapelle's entire day, starting from her wake up call at 700 am. Optional extra: For just $10AUD or more you can personally ring the wake up alarm to start Schapelle's day. Observation chairs are provided, as well as food and drinks throughout the day. We respect Schapelle's privacy – so the day finishes at 6.30pm to allow Schapelle to return to her bedroom.
I'm pretty certain that the Indonesian authorities aren't going to allow a private tour company to shuttle people in and out of one of their prisons all day. Which is why I'm labelling this a hoax. Eddie's efforts to get everyone to click on his google ads also don't add to his credibility. And the pictures of people posing with Corby are obviously photoshopped. (Thanks to Emily for the link.)

Rosleigh Rose (apparently that's actually her name) should be a shoo-in for Mother of the Year, eh?
I'm not sure who you are when you speak of 'my government'. I know you can't answer this but I'll put it nonetheless, since I beleive it is in Schapelle Corby's interest.
I wrote to a number of politicians about this issue, and the 'unusual responses' left me in little doubt that I was correct.
I had a brother just like James Corby (Kisina). And this (drug smuggling) is exactly the sort of thing he would have done - by contrast, I went to Law school. So it does happen that not all members of a family are the same. My brother would have been stupid enough to place the drugs on top of the bag jsut like this. It was one of the early symptoms of a schizophrenic illness which has an onset in males at around 16 years of age. This illness can be mild or severe so it isn't always obvious from talking to the person that it exists. In the less severe cases, it involves a situation where the sufferer doesnt quite interpret things as they really are. Had this been my 16 year old brother for example, he just would not have appreciated the seriousness of the act. Eg."everyone does it - if you get caught you just have to give the customs officer an ounze of the stuff, and they'll forget it". So for the question I know you can't answer
"is there any reasobable doubt amongst any member of partliament, that the brother was responsible for these drugs? I don't think it's my imagination from the unexpected responses I received form both sides of parliament, that EVERYONE THERE is well aware that James Kisina was responsible for that crime. I suspect the fight Schapelle had with her mother after the 20 year sentence was handed down (and refused to see her), was because she was standing over Schapelle making sure she didn't 'spill her guts'. There are no loose threads or unanswered questions, once one realises what really happpened.
It was used against her , that she was nervous while she was opening the boogie board bag. Of course she was nervous. She was thinking 'OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL HAS HE DONE'. I well know that practice of stepping in and taking over from my deadshit brother. It's called damage control. And I have now learnt to stay away from him altogether. In the long run, I can't help him. Ipaid thousands of dollars in his legal fees. Thank GOD, I never paid the price that Schapelle did.

If you read the news you would notice that almost every news story that has been against Corby or her family has ended up being not true.
The australian media is bad, unethicaly and full of lies. It will never get better when people like you believe all the crap.
Well... that's all... It's kind of a lutzy site, the tour site, but to see what kind of people are involved in all this check out: http://www.schapellecorby.com/shame-files/319-hall-shame-7.html and scroll down to Don Reid's post at the bottom of the page...
this website hoax is most likely aimed at poking fun at her irrational defenders.
while most people sympathise with her cruel plight, there appears little evidence to support the theory of her innocence.
What "fight" between Schapelle and her mother are you talking about? These rumours are getting out of control.
It's clear to see that neither Schapelle nor her brother did it. Why? Because the Bali Police would not let her family access any evidence. If Schapelle or her brother were guilty, her family would not have fought so hard to get evidence (such as bag weights, fingerprints and CCTV footage). They fought to get evidence to prove that the drugs weren't in the bag before arriving in Bali. Read "My Story", there are so many holes in the case.
Nettie - what on earth are you on about? Schapelle is not even allowed to have a cell phone. She most certainly does not have a DVD player. She's only just been allowed to get a powerpoint to plug in a fan. What a luxury! Check what you say before talking crap.
'our schapelle' as we all called her, may not be as innocent as one thinks...nor maybe the family...
but who really is?..a lot of people smoke a bit of pot, everyday type people,
business..lawyers..doctors...mums and dads..the butcher...but I don't feel that makes them a druggy or a drug dealer...
but no matter what the issue is..someone will always be out there to stir the pot..there are those that want to make schapelle and her family as miserable as possible..
I think they have been through enough...whether she is guilty or not..I think it's time they were given a bit of space..
She had no trial, just the show trial. They burned the evidence. They refused to collect the CCTV from Bali airport. They refused to test the drugs for country of origin. It goes on and on. Talk about human rights abuse!
Yet some people swallow all the smears and present them as fact. They try to re-write history. They seem to enjoy the suffering of an innocent. Sick.
To any right minded person she is innocent. To any right minded person 20 yeras is barbaric. To any right minded person, people who exploit this (like the tour guy) are sick.
I have put the schapelle.net video in the link here. Watch it. Then watch how the media have brainwashed people here: schapelle.net/media.html
Then... FFS.. help her!
if anyone really took the time (5 min) to REALLY read the true evidence and NOT just what has ben written by wankers in blogs etc like this you would ALL hang ya dumb arse heads in shame.
But hey! who really killed JFK??? Alians??? bunch of brain dead wankers the lot of you. get a life
You can buy ANYTHING you want on Bali and its ALL controlled by the Mafia Police force. Why is it regarded as the worlds hot spot for Pedophiles, terrorists, drug & weapons running and setting up Aussie tourists?
The New "corby tour" site will be shut down for the same reasons. It is Illegal, Immoral and UNAUSTRALIAN!
Seems many in here have had the "AUSSIE" bred out of them as they have NO IDEA what the term "A FAIR GO" really means.
That "fine" will be higher for Aussies than anyone else.
You can bribe the prison guards at times (with a lot of cash) to stand outside Schapelles cell (like a Vulture standing over food) and add to her mental torture by being a typical Beer swilling Bogan constantly screaming "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" but then has NO IDEA what that means anymore!
I'm sure MM has said in the past the he "has a mate" that bought drugs from the Corby's etc etc but if asked to be introduced to "that mate" they NEVER exist!
Schapelle was offered her freedom by the Indo Pres after serving 2 years but ONLY if she admitted guilt? Unlike David Hicks who plead guilty JUST to get out, Schapelle has maintained her innocence the ENTIRE TIME! This MUST mean she is THE most stubborn woman on the planet OR the worlds strongest for digging in her heels and saying F*&K You, I'M INNOCENT!
