VIVAnews – The situation in Class IIA Kerobokan Penitentiary in Denpasar, Bali, has resumed normal activities following the latest bout of violent unrest to hit the packed prison. However, since the entire prison facilities were burned down, the inmates have to eat pre-packed meal and live in emergency condition.
Badung’s Police Chief, Adj. Chief. Comm. Beny Arjanto, confirmed that all inmates are in good condition, including the foreign prisoners. “All inmates are in good condition including the foreign ones,” said Beny.
He said the Police did not prioritize security measures for the foreigners. “All inmates have the same rights that must be protected. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a foreigner or a native,” said Beny.
He gave full authority on inmates’ policy to the warden, Bowo Nariwono. “We are only in charge of securing the outside area of the jail,” he said.
Bowo has yet to give his comments regarding the second riot.
For the second time in a week, widespread violence broke out at Kerobokan, with prisoners rioting and taking over the jail on Tuesday night. Police and soldiers needed 11 hours to re-establish control, and they had to call in hundreds of officers and water cannons to do it.
Rioters set fire to the administrative offices of the jail and the flames burned nearly everything inside, including documents and money stored there and an armory containing firearms and ammunition.
