JAKARTA - The Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, paid his first visit to the Class IA Surakarta Prison located at Slamet Riyadi St No.18, Kampung Baru, Pasar Kliwon, Tuesday, March 9.

During this visit, Gibran greeted him and spoke with several inmates of the prison. "You are well, Sir," said one of the prison residents. "Yes, don't forget to wear a mask," said Gibran as quoted from the Surakarta news Youtube channel.

The eldest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) heard an explanation from one of the prison officers about the renovation of several buildings. In addition, it also explained the video call facility intended for detainees.

"There is a video call service as a substitute for direct visits," said the prison official.

Gibran seemed to be nodding his head. He then explored several buildings in which there were sewing machine facilities to screen printing of clothes. Finally, Gibran looked at wooden crafts in various forms. There are ship forms to name plates.

Without realizing it, one of the ship's replicas was given to Gibran by the craftsman. This is a memento for him. Gibran's visit was to stay in touch and at the same time strengthen the synergy between the Solo City Government and the Class IA Surakarta Prison.
