Lilik explained that prisoners who were victims of violence had undergone medical treatment and that his party would investigate the incident, including examining five guards suspected of committing violent acts.

The local police are committed to following up by asking for information from both parties so that the information is balanced.

Meanwhile, the prison officer suspected of being involved in the commotion has now been transferred to the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Central Sulawesi. In addition, the Regional Head of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights has temporarily taken over command.

"The examination that we will carry out will be transparent. Anyone who is wrong will be followed up according to the applicable regulatory mechanism," he asserted.

After the commotion, the situation at Parigi Prison is conducive, including service activities that have returned to normal. He seeks to improve services in order to pay attention to inmates to remain orderly, including enforcement of discipline. Local authorities also approach and improve other services, such as simultaneous prisoners' rights.

"There was no serious damage. Our officers and inmates have cleared the debris," said Lilik.
