TARAKAN - Joint officers conducted raids at the Class IIA Tarakan Penitentiary (Lapas), North Kalimantan (Kaltara).

Head of Tarakan Class IIA Prison, Sutarno, said a joint team from Tarakan Prison employees, TNI/Polri, and Tarakan BNNK raided or inspected the rooms inhabited by the Correctional Inmates (WBP).

"As a result, officers found and secured a number of dangerous items, such as tajjam (Sajam) weapons, matches, cables, wires, cellphones, artificial fans and other dangerous items that were not allowed in the inmates' rooms," said Kalapas, Friday, April 5.

Sutarno emphasized that raids were carried out in residential blocks and the surrounding environment. This prevents the entry of prohibited items into prisons such as drugs, cellphones and other dangerous goods.

"We continue to increase supervision of inmates, including eradicating prohibited goods entering prisons, we are grateful that no drugs were found," he said.

"To assist with surveillance, in this prison, surveillance cameras have been installed at 32 points," he continued.

The owners of the dangerous goods will undergo examination and be dealt with according to procedures.

"We will see if the violation is light, medium or severe. One of the strict sanctions is not given integration," he added.

The confiscated prohibited items will be destroyed on the anniversary of the Correctional Bhakti Day on April 29, 2024.

"This joint team raid was carried out as well as part of the activity to commemorate the 60th Bhakti Pemasyarakatan," he concluded.
