The "Peru Two" - what are they up to?

    The Bali nine story got me thinking of the Peru Two and their arrest for cocaine smuggling. Are they languishing in a Peruvian jail? And what would have happened to them if they were caught in Indonesia?

    Just wondering...

    It's sad they don't get more support. There was a documentary about the prison they where sent to and it is full of women used by men to smuggle drugs. There were a number of women who'd been used by the same guy.

    there was another Northern Irish woman in the prison with them who escaped recently

    I'd say they're thinking they are glad their flight was to Peru and not Indonesia.

    If the Female Prison Dramas I've watched in the past are anything to go by then they've gotten themselves into some very very sexy situations!!

    What support should they be given that they have not received already?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭noway12345


    Yeah, she's going to get returned to Ireland and get her jail sentence cut. Great news.

    She should be left there to finish her sentence.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭noway12345

    Nah, return home to be close to her family so they can visit her and then get out early so she can get on with the rest of her life.

    Just seen you other posts and you seem to have much sympathy for drug mules who knowingly break the law. Hopefully they keep her as long as possible, teach her and others a lesson.

    I dunno from what I remember, they didnt seem the types who were pushed into it by an abusive partner, more like they got a free trip to peru and a couple of grand.

    What? Which other 'drug mules' have I shown sympathy for? She's a young girl with her whole life ahead of her. She's learned her leason. Back to a comfy jail in Ireland and then freedom soon enough hopefully.

    The ones in Indonesia last week. She should have thought of that before she chose to break the law. Let her rot away no one cares about her anymore apart from family and a few bleeding hearts who think people should be allowed break laws at will.

    What ones in Indonesia? I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

    She's just waiting for the Peruvians to sign off and then she's coming home. It shouldn't be long. Great news for everyone except nasty people who want her to suffer despite knowing nothing about her.

    I know she is a convicted drug smuggler, That's enough for me to want her to stay and finish her sentence.

    Are we supposed to feel sorry for her? She's a grown woman who knowing broke the law in a country with a well-known and long record of harsh sentences for drug mules.

    Good enough for her.

    She was sent to prison, she learned her lesson. She'll be home in Ireland soon and be able to get on with the rest of her life. It doesn't affect you one bit.

    Spot of scissoring, cell pacing, day counting, thumb twiddling, a brief pause to regret and then back to the scissoring. That's how I picture it anyway:D

    Well she wont be, she's returning to Ireland. I suppose you'll just have to get on with the rest of your life like she will.

    Yes.

    Apart from the taxpayers money spent keeping her in prison.

    No, she has nothing to do with you. Just get on with your life.

    So all prisoners learn their lessons... must be why re-offending rates are so low! Good logic!

    I don't think I'd have anything to say on this where it not for the cock-and-bull story they came out, pleading this absolute nonsense in the press and having the audacity to solicit donations from the public to fund their 'defence'.

    Not set in stone yet
    Sue McAllister, director general of the NIPS, told McCollum's legal team: "I can confirm that the Peruvian authorities have all of the documentation they require to enable them to make a decision on your client's application for repatriation.

    "This paperwork includes confirmation that NIPS is prepared to accept her as a transferred prisoner.

    "However, the final decision on the application is a matter for the Peruvian ministry of justice and human rights."

    And she has to finish her sentence, No early release if she does come home.

    Well she will be jailed in the North so it's their tax money that will be spent IF she is allowed home.

    I don't think you'll find her returning to Peru anytime soon.

    They tried to get away with it, didn't work. Learned her lesson and soon she'll return to her life as normal. The end.

    It's fairly certain at this stage, they've discussed letting her out early but wont say anything for definite until she comes home.

    Eating vindaloo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 315 ✭✭TommyOM


    Spoilt little princess doesn't want her holiday to end, gets caught and then proceeds to attempt to tarnish the reputation of the country she is caught in by claiming that the police were blundering and inept, that the judiciary and legal system was outdated and that the conditions in the woman's prison she was being held in were sub-human (Peruvian female jails are very progressive and safe).

    Then she goes and admits that she did it of her own accord and that the entire story was bull**** after months and months of pleading and preying on the good nature of idiots who believed them and in the case of a select few, donated money to their cause.

    She should have finished her sentence in Peru like everyone else does. For some reason she was treated like the princess that she believed herself to be.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭noway12345


    Well she will be jailed in the North so it's their tax money that will be spent IF she is allowed home.

    So it doesn't affect you in the slightest. You just want her to suffer because you take joy out of it?

    And if they break the agreement to make her finish her whole sentence then they will never release another prisoner again. IF she gets back she will serve the full sentence.

    Yeah right. You keep repeating the same stuff over and over, it's almost as if... ah I geddit, they're bringing back some goodies for you when returning home! Don't worry I won't say anything. Just tell them to keep the 'weight' under that of a toddler, and they should be fine.

    No, the sentence will change according to laws in NI. Hopefully it wont be long till she's out.
