She was sentenced to 20 years in the Denpasar District Court and detained in Kerobokan Prison, as a result.
The Indonesian Supreme Court confirmed her appeal and sentence as final.

Early life and family background
Corby was born in Tugun, Queensland, Australia's state of Queensland, to Michael Corby (who died of bowel cancer on January 18, 2008) and Rosleigh Rose. She is the third of her mother's six children. Corby's mother's marriage to Corby's father, which occurred in 1979 while Corby was a baby, also produced Mercedes (1974) and Michael Jr (1976). Clinton Rose (1984), Corby's mother's second marriage. Melenae Kisina (1990) and James Sioeli Kisina (1989), her third marriage to Tongan-born James Kisina (1987).
She enrolled in a part-time beauty therapy course at a TAFE institute in year 11, completing two of four course modules. She has worked in her family's fish and chip shop and at a Coles supermarket.
Corby encountered Kimi Tanaka, a Japanese man given the pseudonym Kimi Tanaka by the media, on a working holiday in Australia and the two couples began dating in the mid-1990s. Corby and Tanaka's family stayed in Omaezaki, Shizuoka, Japan, on Tanaka's return to Japan, and they married in June 1998 in Omaezaki, Shizuoka, Japan. She worked at a Japanese inn while living in Omaezaki. Her husband has worked in hospitality as well as as a seasonal employee on nearby tea farms. In July 2000, the couple separated, and Corby returned to Australia. In 2003, the couple's divorce was finalized. Corby had a stopover in Bali, where she had been five times since the age of sixteen, which included stopovers on her way to or from Japan.
Mercedes, Corby's older sister, was previously married to a Balinese man (who was Corby's parole holder) and lives in Bali.
Prison life
Corby's cell block was shared with 85 other women. She spent her time as a social groomer and a jewelry maker. Corby said in an interview with The Herald Sun on May 12, 2009, she had requested permission to run a beauty school inside the jail and that her plan was apparently being considered by prison authorities, but otherwise it did not proceed. Following a apparent gyration when a bogus tour operator announced that tourists could have their photograph taken with Corby in exchange for money, visiting regulations were tightened in 2007.
In June 2008, Corby was transferred from her jail to a Bali hospital to be treated for depression. She was allowed to leave her hospital ward under armed guard to visit a beauty salon located within the hospital grounds to have her hair done and for a pedicure. While she was at the salon, word of her presence got out, and Corby was confronted with a large number of reporters after leaving the salon. As she left the salon, she tried to mask her face, and her doctor said her skin was "back to zero" and that additional therapy for depression would be required. She was released from the jail on July 9, 2008, capping a stay of two and a half weeks in the hospital. Corby was admitted to the hospital for depression on May 22nd, 2009.
Jonathan Phillips, an Australian psychiatrist and former president of the RANZCP, was paid by New Idea magazine to fly to Bali to check her health. His research, which appeared in the magazine and accompanied a merger between the magazine and the Corby family, said that her mental health was deteriorating rapidly in the jail and that she should be moved to an Australian hospital or, at least, an Indonesian one. Corby was supported by Queensland's Premier, Anna Bligh, who wished she had been allowed to work in Australia. Corby has been treated for both depression and bouts of psychosis.
Renae Lawrence said in April 2014 that Corby had admitted to her of faked mental health signs in order to gain leniency and the possibility of sentence reductions and parole when under probation.
"I was out of my mind, literally for about four years" Corby said in her first live interview since being released. She appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on October 30, 2019, addressing her battle with mental illness while in jail and how she became "catatonic" after her father died in 2008.
