Deny Indrayana Shocked at WiFi Connection within Balikpapan Prison

TEMPO Interactive, Balikpapan:Deputy Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Deny Indrayana, was shocked to discover a WiFi signal booster facility at Balikpapan Prison, East Kalimantan. Deny was doing his inspection rounds following reports about drug trafficking involving an inmate called Amiruddin."Why a WiFi signal booster in prison? I thought prisoners shouldnt be making calls or going on the net?" he asked Security Section Chief, Taufik Hidayat, Thursday, June 28.Taufik was silent and could not answer Denys statement that his logic could not accept the report on the prisons condition. Denys had assumed that a prison should not include anything that detainees and prisoners did not have a right to. "My logic cant process this, there shouldnt be any signal boosters," he said.Deny squeezed into his tight schedule a trip to Balikpapan following a shabu drug bust weighing 1.07 pounds that allegedly belonged to an inmate in Balikpapan prison. The police started an investigation based on the testimonies of two drug suspects, with the initials MA and DW, who had earlier been captured.Deny came accompanied only by an adjutant and a staff of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights at 12:30 Central Indonesian Time (WITA). For nearly 30 minutes Deny carefully examined one by one the cells considered to be a den of drug trafficking in Balikpapan.During the inspection, Deny was received by Taufik Hidayat only. Prison chief Nurwulan Hadi was having lunch with the Head of the Division of Corrections, Office of Law and Human Rights, East Kalimantan, Gunarso. "I had just eaten two spoonfuls of my lunch. I immediately left because the Deputy Minister was visiting," said Gunarso who hurriedly came together with Nurwulan Hadi.In connection with this inspection, Deny said that his office would reevaluate the facilities and infrastructure for inmates and detainees in Balikpapan. Before making his decision, he would wait for the report on the results of investigations carried out by the Justice and Human Rights Office of East Kalimantan. "We will study the case first, if anyone is proven guilty there will of course be strict penalties. But if indeed no one is guilty, it will be considered as well, he said.Nurwulan Hadi said it would form a team to investigate the WiFi signal booster facility and cell phones in the Balikpapan prison. In the six months in the position, he claimed that he did not realize that the signal booster pole was not for radio transmission network. "I thought it was to boost radio transmissions only . Lets wait for the results from the investigation team," he said.SG WIBISONO
