        "summary": "Indonesia's Directorate General of Corrections has transferred 263 high-risk inmates from six provinces to the Super Maximum Security Prison on Nusakambangan Island in Central Java, as instructed by Minister Agus Andrianto to eradicate drugs from prisons and detention centres. This move, part of a broader effort that has relocated 2,554 such inmates to the facility, combines repressive, rehabilitative, and preventive measures to protect correctional institutions from drug trafficking and other violations. The initiative underscores the government's commitment to achieving zero tolerance for narcotics and mobile phones in prisons, with severe penalties for those involved.",
        "content": "<p>The Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjenpas) of the Ministry of\nImmigration and Correctional Services (Kemenimipas) has transferred 263\ninmates in the high-risk category from six provinces to the Super\nMaximum Security Prison on Nusakambangan, Central Java. Director General\nof Corrections Mashudi stated that this transfer is a direct instruction\nfrom Minister Agus Andrianto to cleanse prisons (lapas) and state\ndetention centres (rutan) of drugs. \u201cWe reiterate that there must be no\nroom or gap whatsoever for drugs. We prevent and block them, and if\nfound, we will certainly eradicate them,\u201d Mashudi said in his statement,\nas reported by Antara on Friday (24\/4\/2026). Of the 263 high-risk\ninmates transferred to Nusakambangan, 44 come from North Sumatra and 103\nfrom Riau. \u201c(On Thursday) night around 21:50 WIB, the 263 high-risk\ninmates were received by prison officers at Nusakambangan,\u201d he said.\nMashudi explained that the transfer and reception of inmates at each\nprison were carried out in accordance with applicable standard operating\nprocedures (SOP). Subsequently, maximum and super maximum levels of\nsecurity and guidance will be implemented. He noted that Minister Agus\nAndrianto has repeatedly called for zero drugs and mobile phones in\nprisons and detention centres. \u201cWhoever is proven to be involved will\ncertainly face severe legal sanctions,\u201d he said. \u201cIn total, we have\ntransferred 2,554 high-risk inmates to Nusakambangan,\u201d he revealed.\nMashudi emphasised that this step is a repressive, rehabilitative, and\npreventive action to protect prisons and detention centres from the dark\ncirculation of drugs. \u201cOnce again, I convey that this transfer is not\nonly a repressive action, but also a rehabilitative and preventive step\nso that prisons and detention centres are optimally protected from the\nspread of violating behaviour, one of which is our concern: eradicating\nviolations related to the misuse and circulation of drugs,\u201d he\nexplained. He added that, besides drugs, the high-risk inmates\ntransferred to Nusakambangan were also prompted by other causes of\nviolating behaviour.<\/p>",
