schapelle corby

[persephone714]

I am just curious about what nurses in Australia think about schapelle corby's situation...ie, the status of her mental health and in general. her situation is not widely known in the US and the info via internet seems like Australians either support her or hate her, no middle ground...just curious.

Schapelle who???????

I don't much care about any prisoner's mental health. Prison isn't meant to be fun.

If you can't do the time, do not do the crime.....made alot of money from magazine articles that I do not read nor buy.......

I feel for her. I don't know whether she's guilty or not but there aren't many people in this world that I would wish that punishment on. Maybe I'm just a softie but that's my opinion. Stupid girl-stupid mistake? Probably, but what a price to pay.

I neither hate her nor support her. I think it's highly unlikely she's innocent, that she was stupid and/or ignorant and/or mislead, and that her punishment is harsh but consistent with where she is. I have no first-hand knowledge of her and therefore have no opinion about her psychiatric condition. I do sometimes wonder how much media attention she would have received if she'd been older, less attractive or less blonde/Anglo, though.

Yes, I definitely have to agree with your last point- unfortunate but true.
