TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Cipinang Narcotics Correctional Institution gets another blow. After last week's report that drug kingpin Freddy Budiman managed to smuggle narcotics into the prison, Cipinang is now faced with the findings of ingredients for methamphetamine recipe.
A number of substances suspected to be the ingredients to make crystal meth have been found in the prison's working garage.
"The search was done on Monday evening at 20:30 pm," Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Amir Syamsuddin said in Cipinang, Tuesday, August 6.
Amir said the search was conducted following a tip from the Jakarta Police Headquarters regarding an alleged drug production activity in the prison. Wardens responded by searching on places suspected as makeshift meth labs.
