Bali police are investigating whether four foreign inmates, including an Australian man, drowned as they tried to dig their way out of Kerobokan Prison.

A police diver attempted to check the tunnel today but discovered it was unstable and flooded with water.

Badung Police Chief Yudith Satriya Hananta said police did find a fork inside but there was no sign of the prisoners.

There are now fears the inmates are trapped or possibly could have drowned.

Police are working to drain the tunnel as part of investigations.

If these guys did get away I don't think getting a fishing boat across the Malacca Straits into Malaysia would be too much trouble if you have some money, and then on further into SEA is pretty simple from all accounts. Establish a new identity, bury your self in India working for a gang of counterfeiters in Mumbai,


make friends, live in a slum and treat the poor, fall in love.....write a book and retire wealthy.

Escapee Shaun Davidson told prisoners in Bali's Kerobokan jail he intended to do something before his imminent release that would extend his stay in Hotel K, as the prison is colloquially known.
Davidson had just 10 weeks left to serve after being sentenced to a year's jail in Bali for using another man's passport.

But he also faces drug charges in Australia.
An outstanding warrant exists for Davidson after he skipped the country and failed to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on January 28, 2015.
He was charged with possessing methamphetamine and cannabis with intent to sell or supply, possession of drug paraphernalia and no authority to drive.

Instead of facing his drug charges Davidson spent a year partying and boxing in Bali before falling foul of immigration authorities for using another man's passport that had been reported missing by its owner in 2013.

"Davidson had made no secret of his intention to avoid being sent back to Australia," a Kerobokan source told Fairfax Media.
A frequent topic behind bars had been how he could be deported to a third country at the end of his sentence that did not have an extradition treaty with Australia.

"He actually likes prison. I can well imagine he escaped with the aim of being caught and extending his sentence in Kerobokan, which is far more comfortable and drugs more easily available than in an Aussie prison," the source said.

A former prisoner said Davidson wanted to stay longer in "Hotel K".

"He was asking me what I thought he could do to stay longer to avoid going back to Australia," the ex-prisoner said on Facebook. "As a joke, I said, 'Try escaping'. I guess he took it literally."

Bali corrections chief Surung Pasaribu said under Indonesian law the men would not receive extra jail time for escaping if they were recaptured.

"Maybe we should change the law," he told reporters. "If they damaged property during their escape they will be separately tried for that. If anyone assisted them they would also get prison time.

It's reported that Shaun attempted to escape from Bali's K Prison, so that he would get caught, and then he wouldn't get released in 2 months and deported to Australia where he's facing drug charges. Shaun actually loves his life in Bali prison, and he wanted to get banged up again for a longer term. Where this gets really funny, is that in Indonesia your sentence is not increased for escape attempts, so his cunning plan is a non-starter. If he gets caught, he will still serve out his 2 months before being shipped back to Oz. But what a mind-set. Go Shaun. That is thinking outside the box.
