Indonesia Demolishes Luxury Prison Villas After Ombudsman Inspection Finds Preferential Facilities
Indonesian authorities demolished luxury prison villas at Cibinong Prison near Jakarta after an inspection by the government's Ombudsman office uncovered lavish facilities including a pool, gym, and furnished apartments allegedly used by favored inmates who paid rent. The prison, housing over 1,800 inmates, faced scrutiny for allowing preferential treatment. Officials seized items like large TVs, alcohol, and gym equipment before demolishing several buildings to prevent further misuse. The facilities were reportedly built without state funding or permits.
