In 2012, Paul Conibeer, a traveler was jailed in Bali’s infamous Kerobokan Prison – the home of Shapelle Corby, the ‘Bali Nine’ and a host of international travelers on death row for smuggling drugs. Paul’s crime was a dispute over an unpaid hotel bill and his failure to ‘pay off’ the right people in the Kuta Police system that saw him jailed for almost 12 months. In ‘I Survived Kerobokan Prison’ Paul tells his harrowing story of sleeping on a tiled floor at Kuta Police Station for 60 days, using a water bottle as a pillow. After two months of hell in a stench-filled cell he was transferred to Kerobokan.
