KATENG - The Regency Government (Pemkab) Seruyan donated land to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) for the construction of the first correctional institution (Lapas) in the local area.

"Currently there are no prisons in Seruyan. Residents who are caught in legal problems are generally deposited in Class II B Sampit Prisons in East Kotawaringin Regency and Narcotics and Corruption Prisons in other areas," said Regional Secretary Seruyan, Djainuddin Noor in Kuala Pembuang, Central Kalimantan (Central Kalimantan), quoted from Antara, Tuesday, October 4.

The land donated by the Seruyan Regency Government has an area of 193,300 square meters in Seruyan Hilir Timur District. This land is planned to be built by the Seruyan Penitentiary, because currently Class II B Sampit Prison is experiencing 'over capacity' so a new prison is needed.

He explained that the Regent of Seruyan Yulhaidir handed over a land grant to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of Central Kalimantan located in Palangka Raya. The handover of land certificates for land grants was witnessed by a number of related parties.

Furthermore, Djainuddin explained, the Central Kalimantan Ministry of Law and Human Rights had come to Seruyan and directly checked the location and condition of the land that had been donated.

The meeting also discussed the follow-up to the land grant agreement owned by the Seruyan Regency Government to the Central Kalimantan Ministry of Law and Human Rights, so that the construction could be carried out quickly.

"Yesterday's meeting was also in the context of maturating the plan for the proposed construction of a prison on the grant in Seruyan Hilir Timur District," he explained.

It is hoped that the construction of the prison can be carried out immediately to help reduce the burden on the surrounding prisons around Seruyan, especially prisons in Sampit City.

In addition, with the more adequate prisons provided by the government, it is hoped that public development in the future can continue to be improved and get better.
