Indonesia has a huge drug problem among it's young people. Why? Because the countrys endemic corruption and cronyism has left many of its people with no hope of a decent future. Ideal breeding grounds for the creation of an escapist drug culture.
The same corrupt officials find it politically expedient to impose draconian prison and death sentences to those found guilty of drug crimes. Of course the one's that are caught are the small time pawns - the big dealers are well connected to the politicians and the military.
In many ways Indonesia is a festering, sick society and guilty or not, Corby is an unfortunate bit player in a much bigger and very ugly picture.
