Schapelle Leigh Corby (born 10 July 1977) is an Australian woman who was convicted of smuggling 4.2 kg of cannabis into Bali, Indonesia. She was sentenced to 20 years in Kerobokan Prison by the Denpasar District Court on 27 May 2005. Her conviction and sentence were upheld by the Indonesian Supreme Court.
Corby maintained that the drugs were planted in her bodyboard bag without her knowledge. In March 2010, she petitioned the Indonesian President for clemency citing mental illness. In May 2012, her sentence was reduced by five years. She was released on parole on 10 February 2014 after serving nine years and was not allowed to leave Indonesia until July 2017.
