In addition, said Ali, they also receive two family visits a week. The prisoners will usually receive food.

"However, visitors are prohibited from bringing money, drugs, illegal drugs, firearms, sharp weapons, liquor, cameras, communication tools, and other objects that can disrupt security and order," said Ali.

In addition, the KPK also provides various additional facilities for prison residents. Among other things, joint spaces to watch television broadcasts and joint spaces for worship.
