SEMARANG - The number of detainees from the Semarang Polrestabes, Central Java, during the COVID-19 pandemic exceeded the available capacity.
Head of Semarang Polrestabes Kombes Irwan Anwar said the number of criminals languishing in the Detention and Evidence Room of the Semarang Polrestabes reached 182 people, exceeding the capacity of the place that should have been reserved for 100 people.
Kombes Irwan explained that the increase in detainees was due to the policy of detainees being entrusted by the Semarang District Attorney who is currently undergoing trial.
"The prosecutor's detainees are in the process of being held at the polrestabes," he said, quoted by Antara, Thursday, July 22.
In fact, he said, usually the prosecutor's detainees are placed in the Kedungpane Prison in Semarang.
However, he continued, during this pandemic there was a policy that only prisoners who could be admitted to the Kedungpane Prison had their cases legally binding.
He said that the detainees who were languishing in the Polrestabes were criminals whose cases were handled at the Polres level.
For cases at the police station level, he said, the suspects were detained at each police station.
