Jail cuts for Christmas

Australian drug traffickers Schapelle Corby and Renae Lawrence will be given sentence cuts for Christmas.

Prison authorities at Bali's Kerobokan Prison have recommended a one-month cut for Corby and a one-and-a-half-month cut for Lawrence, one of the so-called Bali Nine.

A prison official said if Indonesia's Justice Ministry approved the cuts they would be announced on Christmas Day. Both are serving 20 years' jail.
