LAMPUNG - As many as 15 inmates in corruption and terrorism cases at the Class I Penitentiary (Lapas) Bandar Lampung received remissions or reduced detention periods on Eid al-Fitr in 2022.

"I was in Rajabasa Prison in order to give symbolic remissions to inmates," said Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Lampung, Edi Kurniadi when giving symbolic remissions to three inmates in prison, quoted by Antara, Monday, May 2.

He continued that the total number of inmates in correctional facilities throughout Lampung who received remissions amounted to 4,976 people.

With this remission, he hopes that in the future the assisted residents in Lampung will continue to do good so they can get remission again.

"The main condition for being in remission is to do good and also to establish a family relationship while in prison. In addition, always be productive to prepare yourself so that you can become better," he said.

Head of Class I Penitentiary (Kalapas) Bandar Lampung, Maizar added, in addition to inmates in corruption and terrorism cases, there are also inmates in other cases who have received remission.

"The total remission is 901 people from 1,108 residents," he said.
