BANJARMASIN - The Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, South Kalimantan, transferred two former prison employees in this province to the Class IIA Narcotics Penitentiary (LP) Nusakambangan, Cilacap Regency, Central Java.

"Both are prisoners of narcotics cases, they are prison officers who are caught in drug crimes," said Head of the Correctional Division of the South Kalimantan Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Sri Yuwono, in Banjarmasin, as reported by Antara, Friday.

The two inmates are residents of the Class IIB Tanjung Prison with the initials DP and the Class IIA Karang Intan prison with the initials SF, he said.

According to Yuwono, the transfer was carried out as a form of heavier sanctions to them so that they could be an example for other officers not to make the same mistake.

"This is an implementation of the order from the Director General of Corrections," he said. In addition, he said, this is the result of an early detection of security and order vulnerabilities in prisons/remand centers in South Kalimantan. One of them is an effort to break the chain of drug trafficking behind bars.

During the transfer process, he said, there was a strict escort assisted by four members of the Mobile Brigade Unit of the South Kalimantan Police as part of the synergy between the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and other law enforcers.

Nusakambangan Prison, which is located on a remote island on the southern side of Java, is known for its super-maximum security, which is reserved for convicts with serious crimes. For example theorism, high-class premeditated murder to big-name drug dealers.
