It was stated that dozens of prohibited objects had been destroyed, including cables, nails, cards, glass, toothbrushes, and others.

"We immediately destroyed everything by cutting it into two pieces, then burning it in a barrel", he said.

Karutan Iwan emphasized that the destruction of prohibited items was one of the ways to prevent and at the same time minimize the existence of prohibited objects or items in the residential rooms of the inmates.

The raids and searches, he said, were in the residential rooms of the assisted residents B2.7, B2.12, B1.1, B1.7, C1.1, C1.3, C2.1 and C2.4
