JAKARTA - The escape of 7 prisoners and inmates from the Salemba Class I Detention Center, Central Jakarta, has received attention from various parties. This is because this is not the first time prisoners have escaped in prisons or detention centers.

Chairman of Commission XIII DPR RI Willy Aditya along with other DPR members also carried out a surprise inspection (sidak) at the Salemba Rutan on Thursday, November 14.

As a result of the inspection, the Chairman of Commission XIII DPR RI Willy Aditya found a number of odd findings.

"There are 3 prisoners and 4 prisoners, why was it in the same cell, since when? (Then) where did these 3 prisoners and 4 prisoners be entrusted?, (tipan) the police or prosecutors? We are checking this right," Willy Aditya told reporters after the inspection, Thursday, November 14.

In addition, the Chairman of Commission XIII of the DPR RI will also form a panja next week regarding the escape of 7 prisoners and inmates of the Salemba Detention Center.

"On Monday there will be a rapim (leader meeting), after the Rapim, we will collect it and we will form a correctional committee," he said.

"We will open it transparently, what happened. Next week Rapim," he added.

Five of the seven prisoners and inmates who escaped through the culverts were a narcotics network from Aceh with the initials AAK bin R (22), J bin I (29), W bin T (47), MJ bin ZA (42) and M bin I (43).

They escaped from the Salemba Rutan through the culverts, which is a narcotics network from Aceh. They fled across the iron-trellis water culvert which had also been cut.

Based on the photo seen by VOI, the culverts that are the crossing routes of the detainees, already look outdated, proceed unkempt.
