We knew it but a friend has spoken out about how tough things have been for TS.
“Schaefer - who's turned to God during his time behind bars and is full of remorse - suffers from malnutrition while battling health problems, a close friend has claimed.
The pal exclusively told The Sun: "Tommy is doing okay, it's been a tough couple of years, he got TB in 2019 and was very sick for about nine months and then, in early 2021, he got Covid.
"His health has been a struggle, but he's hanging in there and trying to make the best of the situation.
"He definitely still uses his faith for his strength and to become a better person. He has grown up and matured a lot in the last couple of years.
"Tommy feels his sentence is fair for what he did, so he doesn't feel like he should be getting out, although he does feel Heather should have got an equal sentence.
No visitors have been able to enter the prison for over 20 months because of the pandemic and he has little money coming in from family in the US.
Money is vital in Bali's Kerobokan prison as it enables inmates to buy decent food and other provisions.
Schaefer's pal went on: "Their experiences in prison have been totally different, Tommy has definitely suffered more. Heather has bought her way through her time.
"Most of Tommy's hardships come from the lack of food and clean water, malnutrition, which makes him susceptible to the various viruses and diseases in the prison, and the lack of medical or dental facilities.
"You need money for everything - he hasn't had a phone for three years.”
