How did Cory get parole to stay here in Bali but because she's a convicted whatsit she has to leave the country but can't because of the parole?
I assume that "Cory" is Corby?
Her case is simple. Corby has not finished her sentence, which is one of the requirement for a foreign convict to be deported. She is on parole (pembebasan bersyarat) and it is only when her legal sentence will be terminated that she will be authorized to leave and get a kick in the ass sending her back to Oz.
In order to be granted parole, a convict needs to have accomplished at least two third of his/her sentence, an needs to report periodically to the parole officer during the time of his/her parole. Thus a foreign convict is required to remain in Indonesia and the foreign embassy of the country of the convict is required to give guarantees that the foreign convict won't escape Indonesia.
Prior to the enactment of UU 6/2011 (Immigration Act) it was impossible for a foreign convict to be granted parole, which was pretty unfair. The reason was due to the fact that the old Immigration Act didn't have any stipulation for this particular case. There was no immigration permit available for them. They simply could not be granted an ITAS or a Visit Permit.
Michael Blanc, another drug mule, has been the first foreigner to be granted this parolee status, before Corby.
He was arrested in December 1999 and was granted parole in early 2014 after a bit more than 14 years in jail, served in three different penitentiaries. His parole time will be terminated some time this year (I think it's in June or July). Only then will he be deported and sent back to his native country (or the country of his choice).
A note concerning those convicted in drug cases: theoretically, and in accordance with the Narcotics Act, the blacklisting for foreigners sentenced for a drug related offense is a lifetime one. Well, theoretically. Again, it's mainly a question of
behavior.
