BENGKULU - Bentiring Bengkulu Class II A Correctional Institution (Lapas) has cut visiting hours for prisoners assisted by correctional facilities (WBP) or prisoners during Ramadan 1444 Hijriah or 2023 AD.

"The visiting hours for inmates adjust to Ramadan hours, which are usually shorter and faster," said Head of Class II A Bentiring Prison, Bengkulu City, Ade Kusmanto in Bengkulu City, Thursday, March 16, reported by Antara.

Visits during Ramadan are the same as before, namely Monday-Saturday. Meanwhile, the hours for food safekeeping remain open at 3:00 p.m. WIB until it is time to break the fast.

Apart from that, the Bengkulu Prison will also carry out religious activities at night which will be increased from usual days, and tighten prison guarding in the upcoming Ramadan.

"We will increase security during the month of Ramadan, because we will take out the inmates from their rooms at night to carry out the tarawih and tadarus prayers," he said.

Yan Rusmanto, the Head of the Correctional Division of the Bengkulu Ministry of Law and Human Rights, said that in connection with the implementation of the month of Ramadan, preparations have been made to prevent and manage potential disturbances to security and order in prisons and detention centers in the Bengkulu region.

Even though there are not as many officers in prisons or detention centers as there are assisted residents, to maintain security and openness, especially during Ramadan, there needs to be good management and management related to the provision of existing security personnel.

"We will continue to carry out security operations routinely in the month of Ramadan later, especially ahead of this month of Ramadan we will continue to carry it out to prevent potential security disturbances," he stated.
