Joint officers confiscated various types of dangerous objects while raiding the Class IIB Narcotics Correctional Institution (Lapas) Muara Sabak, Jambi Province, Saturday night, October 25.

"Joint officers found stainless spoons, penitis, benchmarks to gas lighters and thin knives stored by inmates," said Muara Sabak Class IIB Narcotics Head, Muhammad Askari Utomo, quoting ANTARA, Sunday, October 26.

Askari explained that the routine joint raid was carried out in an effort to strengthen early detection and maintain security and order in the prison environment, Muara Sabak Class IIB Narcotics Prison.

Before the raid began, all joint officers received directions to work professionally, humanely, and prioritize the principles of security and respect for the rights of the inmates.

After the briefing, the team immediately moved to Blok Bravo, to be precise Room 5, 7, and 8, to carry out intensive examinations.

As a result, officers found and secured a number of items that should not be in the residential room. All of these evidences have been inventoried, made minutes, and confiscated for destruction.

Askari emphasized that the raids would continue to be carried out both regularly and incidentally as a control and prevention measure for security disturbances in prisons.

Inspection of residential blocks is part of the commitment of the correctional ranks in creating a coaching environment that is clean of prohibited goods. This includes supporting the Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjenpas) program in strengthening three keys to advanced correctional facilities including early detection of security disturbances, eradicating drugs, and synergizing with law enforcement officials.

According to him, the Muara Sabak Class IIB Narcotics Prison seriously supports the policy direction of the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Kemenimipas), in order to create an orderly and conducive coaching environment and free from the practice of abuse of prohibited goods.

We will continue to improve preventive measures like this. We want to ensure that the Muara Sabak Narcotics Prison is a place of clean, safe, and with integrity," said Askari.
