Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby played an angry game of hide and seek with media during an open day at Kerobokan Prison in Bali.

Corby, 32, was eating her lunch when an onslaught of journalists and photographers descended upon her cell.

After finding herself trapped, cornered and desperate, she lashed out by tossing cups of water at the onlookers.

Corby is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for being caught in Bali’s airport in October 2004 carrying 4.1kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag.

Since the arrest, her mental condition has been deteriorating to the point that in August last year she was deemed insane by a top psychiatrist.

This outburst has prompted more speculation about her emotional and mental state– which is at the centre of Corby’s bid for freedom.

[14:57:20] Njoo Hoo Tiong: Corby's half-brother, Clinton Rose, has spent time in jail for a range of offences. He was serving a 15 months sentence in Queensland for breaking and entering and fraud. This was his second time in prison.[79] In January 2002, Rose was convicted of drug possession. He had pleaded guilty to what the Southport District Judge, Robert Hall, described as a "campaign of crime". Rose pleaded guilty to a total of 62 charges accumulated over a six-month period.[42]

Quilt or not. That much time for weed. That is ridiculous. And to be convicted after all the baggage handlers were smugglers is just stupid. How can u justify she's quality with all that bs surrounding it. Just watched ganga queen for the second time. And there are to many discrepancies for a conviction. Good luck.

Yes!!! i agree foreigners should go to bali for holiday, and tourism should stop for bali country!!!. It thinks its so unfair of s corby the 20 yrs in jail. However marijuana is one of medicinal for pain killer. And also cannot tell us that bali people in there don't smoke this type of cigarette.

Stay strong! Stay calm!- this is what I wish her to be. Writing this sincere wish down makes me realize how hollow these words may be for her. Reading comments on this article alone like 'silly girl' and 'of course she is guilty', already give me the stomaches. Keep strong Schapelle. You are NOT forgotten (!) by many supporters around the world. Before seeing the documentary Ganja Queen last Wednesday on Belgian television I never knew of your ordeal and from what I hav learned: you can count me in on the supportive side. A false sentence doesn't make you quilty, don't you forget. All the best from Holland.

Get with it people, she did it and dont be gullible to the fact and she knows big time she fu***d up, shes a bloody good liar but not that good!!Everyone knows Bali will not tolerate that kind of crap..However in saying that I believe that she does not deserve the harsh punishment shes given, but the silly girl should have known..

regardless if she is innocent or guilty, a person should not be prosecuted so harshly over a plant. No one dies from weed. Im sure she's done more than her fair share of time.

Is is discraeful how Schapelle is being treated. The prison officials are continuously making money from her ordeal. The media are behaving like a bunch of savages, they are the ones that should be in jain, not Schapelle.

siento mucho que alguien tan joven este pasando por una situacion tan odiosa. culpable o no creo que es una verguenza para los ciudadanos de bali, donde saben que su sistema judicial es tan corrupto y los extranjeros pagan un alto precio aun si son inocentes. ruego a dios por un milagro donde ella pueda recuperar su libertad. suerte para ti corby y sobre todo fe y coraje para sobrellevar esto.

Dear Shapelle,
if you can, please read the books of Neale Donald Walsch: "Conversations with God" An Uncommon Dialogue. (The first 3 books). You must help yourself to come out from this place, and you will, but you must read this books. They will show you, that you have god inside of you and everything is possible, when you know this. Please read the books, i hope you do. I think that you are innocent, but it doesn`t matter now for my letter to you. I pray for you and wait to hear good news of your fall. Don't give up!
