JAKARTA - Class I Madiun Correctional Institution (Lapas) officers, East Java, confiscated a number of prohibited items belonging to inmates during a residential raid in the local prison block.

The prohibited items in prisons include cell phones (HP), drugs, sharp weapons, and improper use of electricity. This activity is part of Madiun Prison's commitment to maintaining security and order in the prison environment.

During the raid, the search team searched every corner of the inmates' residential rooms. As a result of this search, officers managed to find some items that should not be in the prison. Such as cellphones, data cables, gas lighters, and cables. These items were immediately secured and then processed in accordance with applicable regulations.

In addition, inspections are also carried out on electrical installations inside residential blocks to ensure that there is no illegal use of electricity or has the potential to cause harm.

These efforts were taken to avoid the possibility of a fire or other disturbance that could endanger prison residents.

Mukafi added that with routine raids, it is hoped that the Madiun Class I Prison can continue to maintain stability in security and order, as well as create a conducive prison environment for the rehabilitation process for prisoners.
