JAKARTA - Anwar (pseudonym) could only hold back tears when he was met at his house, Tangerang Regency, Tuesday, September 14. The news of the fire in Block C2, Class 1 A prison in Tangerang, which killed 45 inmates, made him sad.
How not, most of the victims of the unfortunate incident were friends of Anwar when he was in uniform. The thoughts of the former inmates who were released at the end of 2020 in this drug case drifted far away, reminiscing about the sweet and bitter taste of life while in prison.
"Si Epi, Kusnaedi, Si Jenong. All of my friends", he said while holding back tears, reported by ERA.id, Wednesday, September 15. Anwar felt strange about this sad news because while he was there the cell door was never locked.
"It's never been locked, it's never locked at night.
He admitted that at that time the atmosphere in the prison was crowded, so the cells were not locked. The inmates who were not accommodated in the room then occupied the outside of the cell to sleep, to be precise in the hall. Then, to make it easier to take a bath and wash the toilet (MCK) or defecate inmates who sleep in the hall, the room is not locked. Because the bathroom is in the cell.
"The room was never locked, the cave from D1 to D2 was not locked, I moved again to A2, it was never locked, never locked for God's sake, then A3 wasn't locked either. C is also never locked because people in the hall urinate and defecate in the room", said Anwar.
However, he can only put his trust in this incident. If there is an element of intention in the fire, he hopes the police will immediately punish the perpetrators.
"It should be investigated, my friends died, died unnaturally. It's better to die by suicide, this is burnt to death", he said in a low tone holding back tears.
The Wild Life of Drugs in Prison
According to Anwar, the distribution of drugs there is very free. Each block contains rooms that sell or manufacture drugs. The prisoner calls the room a pharmacy. The dispensary is operated by the inmate in charge.
"There are many pharmacies. Indeed, there are drug warehouses there, drug heaven there. It's even like Texas in America. In fact, it's safe to use drugs. Wherever you want to be fast, it's safe", he said.
Anwar said methamphetamine is an item that is easy to obtain when compared to marijuana. "Maybe it's because of the size, the gele (marijuana) is big. If you can pocket the meth, you can mix it inside the house too. Each block has a pharmacy", he added.
He said the price of methamphetamine in the prison was around IDR 100,000 for the small size. Meanwhile, marijuana per small roll with a mixture of tobacco is IDR 20 thousand

"Gele (marijuana), as far as I know, used to be 20 thousand small rolls of mixed (mixed tobacco). If the smallest amount of shabu is cheap (IDR 100 thousand), you can take 5-6 puffs per person, alone but yes. I want to buy one gram, there are also two grams", said Anwar.
Anwar said it was not difficult to find illicit goods in prisons. From Blocks A to G there are prisoners who sell drugs.
"My people have used it there too, really. Which block doesn't have a pharmacy, there are all pharmacies. If you don't have drugs, you're bored, right, that's a long sentence, right. Block C2 has a pharmacy, two rooms (turned into a pharmacy). There are 3 pharmacies, the boss is 1 person", he said.
He said that in order to smuggle illicit goods or materials, the inmates who sell and mix it will cooperate with prison guards. The warden will be paid to deliver the item to the prisoner who requested it.
"Now it's like this, inside the palace there are drugs, automatically there are players. There is cooperation, with the prison officers, you can't open it up (convicts). After all, the way life is based on drugs. Don't get me wrong, the officers also use drugs (drugs)", said Anwar.
In addition to drugs, liquor is also easy to obtain. The price is around IDR 100 to IDR 150 thousand per bottle. The trick is to just order from a known warden.
"You can hire a woman too, it's crazy there, I use it on the side. Girls are called 3 people, 4 people. The one who brings the warden. They just come to visit. The girl is cute. The point is that those who have the money can. The money in power there (Class 1 Tangerang Prison)", he explained
Anwar said that life in prison is indeed hard. Starting from the commotion, gambling, sex, to drug trafficking like Texas in America. Anything can be done, the important thing is to have money. He said, commotions between inmates often occur just because of trivial things.
Such as the behavior of prisoners who are not liked by other inmates to debts about drugs.
"I don't like the style of being beaten. Collecting debts (drugs) that are making a fuss there. It was demolished, time came too. There used to be clashes, Block B and Block D really clashed", he said.
"If there is no flag (gang). If there are tribal chiefs, captains, commanders. So playing tribes, for example, west, west center, Tangerang, South Tangerang", said Anwar.
