Lindsay Sandiford's life as The Queen of Kerobokan Prison: British ... trends now
British drug-smuggling British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford has been living life as the 'Queen' of the Bali prison where she has been on death row for more than a decade.
Sandiford, 67, enjoys special benefits including medium-rare steak dinners and leading knitting circles to her fellow inmates, who have dubbed her 'The Queen of Kerobokan Prison' in Indonesia.
She has been imprisoned since 2013 for trying to smuggle £1.6million worth of cocaine into Indonesia in her suitcase.
The cocaine-smuggling grandmother's cellmate, an Indonesian woman who has been behind bars for two years after being found guilty of corruption said: 'She is the grandmother of the prison, the Queen.'
She reportedly said that Saniford is the only inmate who is permitted to order steak dinners from the prison cafe.
'She has it medium-rare, normally once a week,' Sandiford's cellmate said.

British innate Sandiford is loved by everyone in the prison, her cellmate told The Mirror.
She said that she teaches people in the prison how to knit in regular classes and also shows them how to take care of themselves.
Sandiford started getting privileges in prison, being given a mattress instead of sleeping on the floor.
She was then given her own cooking utensils as she did not enjoy the food in prison. As Lindsay has a 'sweet tooth' and an enjoyment for 70% dark chocolate, she was brought chocolate and fresh vegetables from her supporters.
The 67-year-old may have her sentence converted into a whole life term instead due to a law change being introduced in January, due to good behaviour behind bars.
Lawyers could argue for her to be returned to the UK, where she may be able to go free due to the time already served, the newspaper reported.
An inmate at Sandiford's prison told The Mirror: 'If she can get through to 2025 then she thinks she may be able to avoid the death penalty.'
Human rights barrister Felicity Gerry KC called for the grandmother to be returned to Britain.
She currently awaits being brought to Nusa Kambangan, known as Execution Island, from her cell in the Kerobokan jail.
Sandiford's cellmate told the newspaper that she 'is scared of dying but she has accepted it' while another con claimed she is 'foul-mouthed, antagonistic' and drives people out of her cell.
