JATIM - The East Java Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office in synergy with the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) related to the illicit trafficking of narcotics in prisons and remand centers. This collaboration resulted in the ease of case development.

"One of them is to open the door for law enforcement officers by providing convenience in following up on the results of case development," said Acting Head of the East Java Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office Wisnu Nugroho in a press statement in Surabaya, Tuesday, April 5.

He said his party was committed to carrying out a comprehensive eradication of narcotics from the roots.

Wisnu hopes that there will be support from BNNP in the rehabilitation program for inmates who have stumbled on narcotics cases both medically and socially.

"So far, the rehabilitation process at prisons and remand center staff is still less than optimal due to limited human resources and budget. Of the approximately 28,000 inmates, last year we were only able to rehabilitate 1,060 people," he said, as reported by Antara.

In fact, according to Wisnu, nearly 70 percent of the residents of prisons and remand centers in East Java are addicts or narcotics abusers. For this reason, his party hopes that there will be collaboration in performance so that they can reach more inmates.

So, it can create a prison program that is clean from narcotics. "We hope that there will be an MoU so that a common understanding can be created," he hoped.

Head of the East Java BNNP Brigadier General Pol M Aris Purnomo admitted that he was ready to provide maximum support both in terms of budget utilization and human resources. "Regarding rehabilitation, we can combine the existing human resources and budget," he said.

He said the relationship between BNNP and the East Java Ministry of Law and Human Rights had been good, especially in terms of investigations and investigations in case development. Thus, the form of cooperation needs to be expanded again, not only in terms of eradication.

"However, we also need to expand our activities for prevention, rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation," he said.
