NTB - The Mataram Penitentiary (Lapas) has imposed sanctions on two inmates involved in the smuggling of methamphetamine in astor cakes.
Head of Class IIA Mataram Prison Ketut Akbar Herry Achjar explained that the sanctions could be in the form of no granting of remission, assimilation, and/or transfer to a special prison.
"Depending on the level of the problem. However, regarding the problems of the inmates involved in drug smuggling, we propose that they continue their detention in special narcotics prisons, such as in Bangli or Nusakambangan," said Akbar in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Monday, March 13, which was confiscated by Antara.
According to him, the transfer of detention to a special narcotics prison was the right step in providing a deterrent effect to problematic inmates.
"We also don't want them to stay in our (Matram prison), they affect other inmates. That is a strong consideration, we propose them to be moved," he said.
He added that the imposition of sanctions was part of the prison's firm stance in running the Bersinar Prison program (Clean from Drugs).
For the imposition of these sanctions, he explained, it will be carried out after the current legal process in the police is complete.
"So, if he (the inmate) has been declared proven proven to be involved in this case, there is a decision with permanent legal force, we will immediately propose a transfer," he said.
Two residents of the Mataram Prison who were involved in smuggling methamphetamine in the astor cake had the initials AD and MRM.
