KUPANG - Residents assisted by the Class IIB Atambua Correctional Institution, Belu Regency, NTT harvested 2,214 broiler chickens in the prison environment after being reared for 35 days.

The head of Atambua Prison, Edwar Hadi, said that broiler farming is one of the independent development activities in the field of animal husbandry carried out by two foreign assimilation prisoners.

"The harvest was carried out with PT Mitra Sinar Jaya as a collector of chicken harvests," he said in Atambua as reported by Antara, Friday, November 26.

He explained that furthermore, PT. Mitra Sinar Jaya will directly distribute and market the chickens.

Kalapas Hadi hopes that the implementation of the chicken harvest can increase PNBP and provide competent work experience for prisoners of assimilation outside the walls, especially coaching in the field of animal husbandry.

Later when they are released from prison, the inmates can improve the family's economy by raising chickens according to what has been taught.

"It is hoped that this cultivation business can continue when it is free, so that it can increase the economic value of the family and benefit the surrounding community," he asked.

Apart from raising livestock, Atambua Prison also trains inmates to cultivate watermelons that have already been harvested.
