TEMPO.CO, Surakarta - As many as 20 convicts were transferred from Surakarta Penitentiary to Nusakambangan. The transfer was made as Surakarta Penitentiary is no longe capable to host the amount of convicts.
"We can only host 193 convicts. Now we have 588 convicts," said Warden Urip Dharma Yoga.
Urip added that the facility is actually more like a detention facility, instead of penitentiary. The convicts should be sent to penitentiary facility in Klaten or Sragen."But the face the same problem there," he said.
Moreover, he said that prisoner transfer has been done a couple of times in the past few months. "We will have more waves of transfer," he said.
