So, we have to process first, then we will see what punishment will be imposed," he explained.Regarding the information about the condition of the prison that provides luxury services for prisoners in it, Edward added that this was just a rumor.

The partnerships carried out by cooperatives and went well and were very helpful. Once again I don't answer that it's a matter of accusations, this is about reality and facts on the ground," he said.Meanwhile, on social media, information emerged about the condition of the inmates' residences, especially those convicted of drug cases, which were considered comfortable with the existence of wall paper, cupboards, mattresses, aquariums, and loudspeakers.The Twitter account @PartaiSocmed uploaded a number of photos containing inmates who lived comfortably at the Class I Detention Center in Bandung (Kebonwaru).
