Prison Life
Serving his imprisonment in Indonesia, Rush receives A$125 per month under a prisoner loan scheme from the Australian Federal Government. On 7 May 2010, Rush was circumcised in the musholla of Kerobokan jail by an unauthorised visitor, without the prior knowledge or consent of the jail's doctors, in Rush's alleged effort to convert to Islam. Rush has since maintained that he is a Christian and that he underwent the circumcision for "health reasons," despite the jail being equipped for such surgery. Media reports claimed Rush's actions were symptoms of death row phenomenon.
In May 2011, there were media reports that Rush planned to marry his American girlfriend, Karen Hermiz.
