DENPASAR- A total of 20 prisoners inmates (WBP) in Class IIA Women's Prison, Denpasar are being treated at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. They get drunk by consuming the disinfectant mixed with fruit juice.

"There are 21 of our assisted residents in all, and one died," said Head of the Class IIA Women's Prison, Denpasar, Lili, Friday, June 11.

Initially the female prisoners came to the clinic in Denpasar prison on Thursday, June 10. They complained of stomach pain and vomiting.

In the afternoon they returned to the prison clinic. The officers questioned the female inmates until they finally admitted to drinking the disinfectant, mixed with orange-flavored fruit juice.

One inmate died while undergoing treatment at Sanglah Hospital. Another inmate was restless to hear this news and admitted that he had taken the oplosan disinfectant.

"In the restless, they (hit) psychologically and they reported to us. And we brought it back to Sanglah to be followed up," said Lili.

From the prisoner's confession, it was known that someone had brought disinfectant plus fruit juice. These drinks were distributed to residents of 3 prison blocks.

"There are three blocks, they said they were on Tuesday, Wednesday and the reaction was Thursday morning. We were shocked what was this,

Because one person died, they finally reported that no one else was still enjoying it inside," he said.

Meanwhile, the prisoner who is suspected of cheating has not yet been examined because his condition is critical. However, the other inmates are still being treated and their condition is starting to improve.

Lili said the procedure for spraying disinfectants in the cells had been closely monitored by officers. But they are known to steal the rest of the disinfectant to get drunk.

"We watch them every day cleaning their rooms with the disinfectant. But their name is hiding, stealing to get it (and) being misused. They are accompanied by officers maybe when we are careless and take a little dioplos with them," said Lili.
