The details of the number of suspects detained are at the KPK Rutan branch of the Merah Putih building 28 people; The KPK detention center at the Pomdam Jaya Guntur branch is 26 people; and the KPK detention center at the ACLC or C1 branch reaches 22 people.

It is certain that the detainees will get various facilities. Including, eating which changes the menu every 10 days with the amount of budget according to the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) regulations.

In addition, said Ali, they also receive two family visits a week. The prisoners will usually receive food.

"However, visitors are prohibited from bringing money, drugs, illegal drugs, firearms, sharp weapons, liquor, cameras, communication tools, and other objects that can disrupt security and order," said Ali.

In addition, the KPK also provides various additional facilities for prison residents. Among other things, joint spaces to watch television broadcasts and joint spaces for worship.
