You know what would've been better? These blokes are said to have turned their lives around as a result of their death sentence

- let them prove how much of that was due to them having a change of heart (as opposed to trying to create a good impression and get offski) by giving them a life sentence of serving Indonesia- i.e. remaining in jail and administering to other prisoners there.

A win for the Indonesian government, a win for the Aussie government.
If they've fair dinkum turned their life around, they'll be happy. If it was just bullshit, we'd find out pretty soon.
