DENPASAR - One prisoner who died because he drank mixed disinfectant mixed with fruit juice was a prisoner from Jakarta.

The inmate with the initials RP is 25 years old. He is a drug convict who was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

"The drug case is 5 years old. It has been two years (serving the sentence). The family already knows, and we have informed them," said the head of the Class IIA Women's Correctional Institution, Denpasar, Bali, Lili, Friday, June 11.

The inmate died at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, this morning at around 05.00 WITA. At that time, RP was taken to Sanglah Hospital along with a number of inmates who were drinking the mixed disinfectant.

Lili said, from the confessions of a number of inmates, it was known that they drank the oplosan to get drunk. Because, those who drink it are drug convicts.

"It's amazing to drink so here in our prison, it's clean, there are no drugs, no shabu-shabu and they are by all means how they can get drunk in prison," he said.

"They think what it's like, partying and getting drunk. They don't think it's disinfectant and they think alcohol or something," he explained.

Lili emphasized that the supervision at the prison was very strict. But this prisoner took the rest of the disinfectant and abused it so that he ended up being poisoned.

"We have hidden this (disinfectant) and put it into the warehouse where the residue from the spray was misused. It was taken and mixed with orange-flavored fruit juice and given to other friends. This means that the rest of the disinfectant is used for them to get drunk , said Lily.
