INDONESIA'S justice minister is yet to receive a report on whether Schapelle Corby should be sent back to jail because of a controversial Australian television program.

Corby walked from Bali's Kerobokan prison one month ago, on February 10, after the minister, Amir Syamsuddin, granted her parole.

But he may now take it back, after a flurry of bad press followed a Seven Network program about her release.

A report is being prepared on the contents of the interview and if the minister deems it has upset the community, Corby could return to jail.

On Monday, Mr Syamsuddin told reporters in Jakarta the document was still with parole officials but he hoped to get it soon.

"The sooner the better," he said.

"It all depends on the decision made by the parole board, the parole board consists of many."

Last week, Bali parole official Sunar Agus argued for Corby to remain in the community, after witnessing the 36-year-old take a knife to her arm in an apparent bid to self-harm.

He described her condition as "unstable" and said it could be "reckless" to put her behind bars again.

In the Seven program, which Indonesian officials advised the family against, Mercedes said the marijuana found in her sister's bag in 2004 could have come from Indonesia.

She has since apologised publicly if the remarks caused offence.

Corby served more than nine years for drug smuggling and battled mental illness while in jail.

The family blames the media spotlight for her current condition.
