I was just flicking through my newspaper today and came across an Article in the Yahoo world news about drug dealing in Bali jails. Now I'm not sure about you, but I find it awfully ironic that the same country that always appears to be in the news for prosecuting tourists for trafficing drugs has such a huge problem of drugs in their prisons.

When I looked through previous issues of The Age, The Courier Mail and The Australian I found there are plenty of instances of people sentenced to long terms in a Bali jail, and several are currently on death row.

Like I said, seems a little ironic that there should be a big problem in the very place where you should find it to be drug free. Makes me wonder if they've just been looking for scapegoats for the problem.

What are your thought's on the matter?
